One week left to win a tablet!
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Be quick! As mentioned in the previous news post, the Skinning Contest ends on September 14th. It means that you only have one week left to submit this great skin of yours you’ve been working on or thinking about in the past couple of weeks. If you already submitted a skin, you can still use the extra time to polish your work some more, add new options, make sure it works like a charm on all your contacts’ computers, etc… testing is always an important part of any development project and those who overlook it often pay a higher price in time later (and in this case, possibly lose a 2,000$ graphic tablet).
In the many skins that have been received already, several are already must-see/must-use creations (no, I won’t say which ones yet :). Take a look in the Skins Database and download whatever fits you best! One skin I’d like to mention in particular is Windows Live Messenger 2009. For those of you who heard about the latest beta version of Messenger but don’t want to be bothered to download and install a buggy, unfinished version of Messenger, this skin will at the very least let you keep your head up when your geeky friends show off and tell you about it. Also, in case you’d wonder, there is currently no plan to release a compatible version of Messenger Plus! for the leaked beta. Just be a little more patient and we’ll all be able to enjoy a reliable version of a cool new Messenger. Let the testers at Microsoft do their work and I’ll do mine in time too, as always :-).
Keep up the good work on those skins! Have a great weekend.


Now, about the movie Messenger Plus! Live is sponsoring: No Mercy For The Rude. The debut feature from Korean director Park Cheol-hie, who’d previously worked under Lee Jang-wo and Jang Sun-woo is sure to go down in history as a major moment in the evolution of Asian pop cinema. There will be no mercy for any self-described fan of quirky Asian action-comedies who misses the chance to see this movie on the big screen. In other words: it’s going to kick ass!
