Performancing Firefox plugin is now ScribeFire

by Ryan Carter Dec 31st 2006

Now you know that PayPerPost acquired Performancing, right? The Performancing Firefox plugin (the blog editor) is now rebranded as ScribeFire. I'm glad the plugin is still its own entity. I am a huge fan of it, and I would hate for any kind of merger, acquisition, or take-over to mess with it. I like it just the way it is. A new name isn't bad in that regard. It may help garner more of an audience for it, not that it doesn't already own the planet in its respective market. I don't know that I have seen anything else (in-browser) like it. ScribeFire, not Performancing. I haven't had a chance to install my stikkit (mental cortex edition, just kidding) but when I do, I will have to make a mental note of it, ScribeFire, I have got to remember that. With the new name, also comes a new website, at ScribeFire.com. Not much there yet, but there will be more coming soon. Stayed tuned.

Good thing they went to all the trouble of painstakingly finding and loading Photoshop's default vector shapes, or people might think, oh, I don't know, that they didn't put much effort into the logo. :P

I just love this plugin, hope they sort out the language bug thing though!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
