Corail – Diving logbook with shipwreck database and more

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:33:01 +0000

Corail is intended for confirmed or not divers with aqualung. It makes it possible to manage simultaneously several diving logbooks with a maximum of details on each dive. The application makes it possible to graphically represent the profiles with the various alarms recorded during the diving (ascent speed too fast, dive with decompression, going beyond the depth ceiling, gas change…).

The diver can carry out the complete inventory of his equipment, recall the history of the equipment services and envisage the future operations of maintenance. The cost of the services or repairs can be consigned in the register “budget” which classifies the companies service provider according to their quality-price ratio.

The list of wrecks forms a data base which gathers the principal characteristics of the buildings, the conditions of access (depth, G.P.S., land-marks), their interest as well as the history of the shipwreck.

Rats&Spears – Rats sports game

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:33:01 +0000

They live not far from your house… Just over the fence from the last cottage on your street there’s a dump. Not a romantic place, huh? But that’s where they live. Exactly, dear Sirs and Madams…
Anyway, Absolutist has decided to sponsor their own Olympics. Though when we found out how much that’d be, we got a bit desperate. However, that didn’t last long. MSNbroadcast became our media sponsor. Now we are living with the dream to sponsor one day all-rats Olympics that could be hosted on their nice arena called Ratadium near the dump. While that moment is yet to come, they are training hard every day.

We don’t know why but javelin-throwing seems to become rats favorite sport. Are you ready to reincarnate in one of them and master your throwing skills? So, you either get roses or rotten eggs and tomatoes – it’s up to you to prove
what you are worth…

No animals were harmed during the development of this game.
Any resemblance to real persons, living or passed away, or entities is purely coincidental.

P.S. Advertisers are desperately needed! Sponsor upcoming Rat Olympics! Put your ad on the Ratadium and help us organize the full-scale Olympics (no kidding!).
