Freya’s Day

Friday, March 10th, 2006

It’s the middle of EOH and it’s Friday.

WebTunes is very interesting. I worked on the UI, well, at least the buttons and the status display. I also figured out how to control Quicktime via Javascript. Add a little ajax, Python and sqlite and you get WebTunes!

How simple could it be?

Fstr

Monday, March 6th, 2006

I took some time over the past few days to make my computer a bit fstr.

First of all, I’ve been having problems with my Squid cache slowing down my web browsing. Instead of actually fixing the problem, which I attempted to do, I disabled the cache. Safari feels a ton faster than it did since I upgraded to 10.4.5. I think there’s a bug somewhere.

Also, I’ve changed my SETI@home client to be much faster. I’ve upgraded to an Altivec optimized client.

The Vent Core 2: Durandal

I am not obsessed with Marathon!

Ok, maybe I am.

But back to the point that I wanted to make.

In the header, you see the name of the blog. However, you also see a picture. This picture is from Marathon 2: Durandal. Specifically, It’s a level known as “Begging For Mercy Makes Me Angry” the general shape is the closest thing to an actual “Vent Core” than anything else. It is, instead, Durandal’s core.
