Voxatron is a 3D shooter using voxels (volumetric pixels). These were quite popular in the early 90s, and I remember Comanche (one of the first games I played that had them) fondly. Right now Voxatron is an alpha, but it is still fun. The biggest contributor to that, is that shooting out parts of the map is part of the game (for example, you can shoot out a column to get objects on top). There are also several guns available, as well as explosives and a build gun that shoots persistent blocks. Looks and sound are very retro, but very adequate for the theme. The game is tiny - 15MB installed.
I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!
One thing that has bothered me for a while is the fact that every one of my blog post page titles starts with the blog name. While in my case that is very short (just STG's), it still is worse for SEO than just the post title. A quick look showed me how to fix it . It is very easy to hide your blog title on Blogger. You just need to do a simple edit on your template (Design->Edit HTML on Blogger) Then you find <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> And replace it with: <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'> <title><data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/> <title><data:blog.pageName/></title> </b:if>
