Hello all,

 I am currently having a break this summer so not to worry. It is obviously still possible to purchase music and games (the games and mp3-albums are automated and there may be a week delay on the real albums if I am traveling at the time of order). I wish you all the best of summers and maybe if it rains a lot I’ll make a new track

Been preoccupied with work related stuff and a total remake of our racing site (www.nordicracing.net) the past week so not much Imphenzia related stuff to report yet.

The Nordic Racing site was created using Joomla 1.5.x - a great and free framework for creating websites with front- and back end. For anyone into wishing to develop a website quickly, I suggest having a look at this (www.joomla.org). The Nordic Racing site are using some really nifty (and also free) plugins, namely;

• Expose Flash Gallery - have a look at the Gallery section of the site, it features this Flash-gallery and it does an amazing job at easily allowing you to create albums, upload images that is automatically resized to desired sizes and adds a copyright text if you wish. The gallery is really smooth with fades and it allows you to play a slideshow as well. The backend is easy to use and batch uploading and renaming images is a doddle.
• Easy Guestbook - have a look at the simple Guestbook section - it features a simple guestbook with protection against spamming using captcha functionality.
• YvComment - simple comment component allowing visitors to post comments to articles etc.

The rest of the contents on the Nordic Racing site is pretty much all included in Joomla. There are also plenty of templates to download and modify to save a tremendeous amount of time. Some people will object to using Joomla calling it “cheating” - but the way I see it - why reinvent the wheel if your main goal is to publish content?

I will, however, still develop the Imphenzia sites totally with my own code for a couple of reasons. First of all, Imphenzia sites feature more custom features than ready made components (e.g. registration, internet highscores, specific music features and purchase options etc.) and secondly because Imphenzia is my true passion and it deserves the attention to customize a site making it unique on the Internet =)

Finally, the title of this post is “Imphenzia on the web” - and it is because I oddly enough found a strange Youtube video with something I don’t quite undestand… A Pokemon Wi-Fi battle? Maybe someone can explain to me what this is all about? I found it by Youtubing “Imphenzia” and it features my remix “The Fallen”.

Yesterday it was thursday and I was stuck doing some work but also racing the ‘thursday race’ in LFS as planned. I qualified 10th on the grid on A-division and had a good race until lap 12 when I flipped onto my roof and out of bounds in the chicane. My team mates in Nordic Racing Group (NRG) did alright although Nicke had a potential podium finish in 3rd place when he ran out of petrol in the last corner to finish 5th instead - what a shame.

Tonight I’ve been out in Stockholm for a few pints. We started off in the “Bull and Bear” pub and then I can’t quite remember where we went, but it was a good night and I had quite a laugh with my mates.

Hopefully this weekend will allow me to work more on muisc, games and the new websites.

Today has not been very Imphenzia-oriented due to other commitments. Been to work and the gym and practiced for the Live For Speed race on thursday (it’s a new ‘Thursday Race’ season starting this week). I race for ‘Nordic Racing Group’ that is proudly sponsored by Imphenzia Now, however, I am creating a few copies of Illusion due to some recent orders so I’ll ship them tomorrow. I see it’s already past 1am as well, hopefully I’ll get more time for Imphenzia tomorrow.

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I am the only member of “Imphenzia”, responsible for creating trance music and computer games for the past 10 years or so. This blog will be a peak into my days of creativity.
