Internet Dreams - Web design agency Perth since 1997

Combining beautiful web designs with user friendly applications is what we try to focus on here. We recently decided to create a new core admin skin for all our backend applications. We wanted it to be clean, user friendly and attractive. From the core screens below we have the components required to create any type of backend system GUI.

We’re all well chuffed with the results so decided to share it with you. Feel free to download and use it on your own projects. It’s ready to go in XHTML strict 1.0.

If you decide to add to these files at all and feel it would be worth sharing, forward the files and we will post them up.

Welcome to Mount Google, this dangerous peak has seen many an unskilled climber lose their way. After listening to a lot of upset clients telling us how they had commissioned ‘so called’ SEO companies who promised to get them to the top of Google and failed; we decided upon a little adventure. Our idea was to reach the top of Mount Google for some of the most competitive keywords/phrases out there. Could we do it? (more...)

I never knew it but I have been waiting for this game all my life, well sort of ;-) Its the best iPhone game I have played to date and I am addicted. This FPS is definitely going to just get better and better, the game play is amazing (so long as you have a strong 3G or WiFi connection).

If you want to do battle with me my username is: Aftereden



The objective is simply build up your strength, weapons and skill level; these 3 items are what make the game very addictive. At first the iPhone controls seems strange but after playing the Bots for a couple hours you really get comfortably with the controls, as they are in fact really intuitive.

Every now and again new game environments are uploaded (called maps) this is another cool element to this game; mastering each map helps you plan your strategies.

Power-ups
If you have never played let me be the first to inform you of all the power-ups you can use in your game play strategies.



Here is the official trailer video, I love the whole megacorp angle but I hate the stickmen. Of course this game won’t appeal to every type of person but this FP Shooter is the best iPhone game regardless of your preference of games.



I love the Original Killtest Trailer... brilliant!

Being a keen reader and having over 500 books at home, I thought it was about time that I jumped on the digital reader revolution. After spending what seemed likes weeks deciding whether to get the Sony reader or the Kindle, I finally decided that I would get the Sony PRS 600.

Why Sony?
Well, I have always trusted Sony to deliver quality products at reasonable cost and they have always served me very well. I have never had any problems with any of my Sony equipment and I just had that extra bit of confidence in this product than I did with the Kindle.



First Thoughts
Amazing, amazing, amazing! I was so amazed that I threw away many of my books which were cluttering up my bookshelf at home (excluding my Lord of the rings collection of course). I got the Sony PRS 600 for Christmas and immediately flew to Finland for my holiday. I was there for 2 weeks and the battery survived the whole time on only it's first initial charge. In this time I read 3 books which, totalled together, had over 1500 pages. Very impressive!

I also like the fact that I can makes notes on the books, this is very good especially for younger readers who may be reading books for their coursework or exams, allowing them to make extensive notes which are easily revised.

One added feature is the ability to draw pictures using your stylus. For me this came in handy when sitting in the airport when our flight was delayed and my 4 year old son needed something to do.

Pros and cons
Well let's start with the good things.

Battery Life - The battery life is incredible, up to 7500 hours of reading per charge makes this an incredibly sufficient reader when making those long journeys.

Formats - Sony have allowed owners to be able to add books in various different formats including PDF, Word, TXT, RTF as well as the standard EPUB formats which allow you to download books from stores. Allowing the use of PDF and Word files is one of the reasons which clinched the deal for me. This means that I can convert a lot of my office work into PDF files and take it with me on the go, saving me precious time when on my way to meetings etc.

Readability - Overall, it is very easy to read a book on this. One of my main concerns when purchasing this was how it would feel in comparison to reading a book, I can say now that I definitely prefer handling a Sony reader than a book. No more having to hold the pages down, or dog ear the pages to remember where I was and I won't even get into issues with Hardbacks!

No wireless - Many people disagree with me here, but I firmly believe that everybody has a right to their own opinion. To me, this is a reader for reading books. I don't want to be distracted from it by being able to go online with this, I have my IPhone for that!

The bad things...
No Backlight - I think this would have been a good thing to have as an option. At present if you are in the dark, the only way you can read is by purchasing one of the covers which includes a light. Although I have purchased one and love it, it is very expensive and not all users will want to spend so much.

Power - One of the things that shocked me is that Sony only provide you with a USB cable to charge the reader with. I believe that they should have also supplied a power cable with this, but it can be purchased, again at an extra cost.

Cost - Expensive! Although for me I feel that it is worth the space that I have saved and will save in the future I think that unless the cost of these start going down, then they will not be as successful as they have the potential to be.

Accessories
Not a wide range of accessories are available yet but I believe that will change as more people start to use them. The two main categories of accessories come down to this, covers and power. For power you have an option of a car charger or a power cable. For covers there are a range of various covers and my favourite one is this one here but at a cost of anywhere between £35 and £50, it is a lot to ask after forking out for the reader itself. However , the reader does come with a slip cover included.

Conclusion
Overall I am very pleased with my Sony Reader, it is just what I wanted, it's just a shame that I didn't get around to buying it sooner. Even now that the IPad has launched, I am happy, the IPad is not a reader it just has a reader function and I feel that it is not quite enough for what I want. I would highly recommend this to any serious reader and also the first book that I read on it which was Eye of the World by Robert Jordan!
