Here is rather lame hangman game, but I want to make it little bit more edgier.  I’m brainstorming but if you have some ideas that would would make crazier, that would be cool.

Here is a new version of my game….there are still quite a few problems to workout.

Here is the game.

OpenOffice.org is a free office suite comprable to the ever popular Microsoft Office. It is an open source project which means any programmer can download its code and tool kit if they wish to develop or contribute to the project. Some of its goals are to help in reducing the ridiculous marketshare that Microsoft (expensivly) holds and to create a uniform international standard (that is FREE!) Just think how much money would be saved if half of the government offices, schools, and, businesses of America did not shell out the cash to put Microsoft Office on all of its computers. Oh yeah it relys heavily on XML for its document file formatting as well. Another goal of OOo is to be the cross platform choice. Not only does it work on versions of windows 98-vista, it is compatible with Mac OSX, Linus, and a few other smaller opperating systems.

I use this at my office and it does everything Microsoft can do including interpreting just about every Microsoft document out there. Just a suggestion for the next time you find yourself with a computer that doesn’t have Office on it and you haven’t been able to get the discs from your friend yet. You can get this for free online just by downloading it. Here is the wikipedia article for more information too. It is a little more digestable than the official webiste I think.

Perhaps one of the hardest skills to learn in web design is how to fairly and effectively price your services. A project quote can either sell a client, or turn them away. Here are some guidelines on how to develop a web design pricing guide. A lot of people have different methods for coming up with their prices, but this is just to get you started. This guide only deals with charging per project. There are other ways of charging clients, but per project is the easiest and perhaps the most widespread method of pricing.
