Rock Band, here I come

Well, just as school is about to start, my sister finally has enough money to chip in her half of Rock Band for the Wii. Once I get it, I can buy the disc for Rock Band 2, and then if the drum set works (and maybe even if it doesn't), I will pick up the disc for Guitar Hero World Tour. It should be good, especially without 50 plastic instruments everywhere.

MarioKart DS, all done

I have now achieved everything there is to achieve in MarioKart DS. That means all missions and Grand Prix races have 3 starts, and I have beaten out all of the staff ghosts in Time Trials mode. And now I feel as though there MUST be something else to achieve in this game. I didn't even get a 4th star for beating all the ghosts... Oh well.

Bookmarks Validator

I made an application in Java that checks all of the URLs in the bookmarks.html file that FireFox generates, and lists which ones work and which ones don't. You can also manually enter a URL for it to check, and it has the option to create a nice text file with the results in it, as well as only displaying either only valid URLs, invalid URLs, or both. It works nicely.

The .zip file in the list on the right is the folder with the .jar files in it. Just run the bookmarksvalidator.jar file (it's executable) and up comes the application.

Mario Freaking Kart

Hey, internet. I got Mariokart for the Wii the other day, and I've already won gold on every cup for each class, and I'm now working toward a three-star record as I did with MKDS. I love this game, and the fact that the WFC matches are all but perfect. I must go now- Yoshi is calling me back to the wheel.
