I am a owner of the lovely PlayStation Portable (PSP) and I think it's one of Sony's great achivements, in my opinion I think it's th best handheld out there and possibly will be for a while. I was fortunate to be bought one for Christmas a couple of years ago, and since then have always loved it. I love my PSP, but how I use it my sound like I abuse it, you see the PSP has firmware installed which is essentially the life functions of the PSP. It controls all the settings of the PSP and also manages all of the capabilities, however Sony also have firmware in place to control some features which are restricted and locked away in each firmware update. However a handful of developers have managed to decrypt and rewrite Sony's Official Firmware and create a custom firmware, which unlocks all of the PSP set restrictions and allows to run great programs such as homebrew, emulators, ISO's etc. So essentially I have a hacked PSP which I can do anything with!

Im not a big fan of online auctioning, I don't really feel secure, plus you have to have some form of plan before you bid otherwise you'll probably end up losing a bidding war approximately 100% of the time, to me it seems to much work just to get product, perhaps it's cheaper and your making a saving, but your still putting a effort in to get a product which might not get at the end of it. But last night, I got a taste of what online auctioning and bidding was like. And I've got to say How freaking intense is eBay! I mean wow, you'd think that because it's online it's less intense, but my god it's so the opposite!

You may have read my post "Plan of Action for 2009" I referenced that I will be posting some new tutorials very soon, and I think you'll find I've followed through on that statement, in the past two weeks I have released three tutorials that I was meant to be released in 2008! Like I said thanks to my PC dying before Christmas I was unable to continue or finish any of them as the information was on a hard drive which had no power supply to it. But I completed all three, and even better all three of them got featured on Good-Tutorials so my traffic graph is now starting to look up and as a even bigger bonus I now have a nice percentage of +27.62% on my Google Analytics Dashboard!

Although the W3 (World Wide Web Consortium) have sent out CSS3 (New version of the CSS language) to various browser company's such as Mozilla and Safari. Support for it is not high enough, so some of the great attributes that CSS3 will be bringing in such as box-shadow which allows you to add shadow (that we will be creating in this tutorial) with one attribute. So we're going to have stick to CSS2! Creating shadow in CSS2 is a question that's pretty popular amongst the web-dev community as there's no straight attribute to create it, instead to create it one method you can use is a transparent .png image along with one special div defined before any other content/divs on your webpage.
