Yes it has been discussed a few times and there are a few ideas but it's not a priority to be brutally honest. Sereri fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Apr 4, 2013 |

Most contractor relationships are technically illegal in Australia but you'd have to complain to Fair Work or whatever to actually get anything done about it and most people like the increased hourly rate.

I like listening to baseball games, but never remember to actually do it while at work. So, I'm making this little status bar app that lists out all the games for the day and links each game to it's MLB Gameday page. I'm hoping I can find the time and wherewithal to add a way to login to MLB.tv and have the audio play right from the program because dang am I lazy.

I just drastically increased the speed of my Team Fortress 2 backpack viewer: http://www.meta.tf/backpack/76561197993753022 That page was crashing the server before, with a few objects getting to the size of a few hundred megabytes. I utilized a dynamic array object sort method I found on StackOverflow, and pre-sorted the array based on a property value. It allowed me to completely remove a second for loop while displaying an array, and it loads pretty quickly now. It exponentially decreased the amount of calculations and iterations to display an entire backpack.

Screenshot Saturday! I made some major technical changes and made it so the player gets hit, and can hit enemies back. Blog post is here. Per usual, the screenshot doesn't show too much, the real meat is in the videos and the blog pos.  Two videos this time! Although the second one might not make too much sense without the blog post that explains what it s. Showing the player getting hit, and hitting back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ4rsD0SQqw&hd=1 Showing how the sword is implemented by turning a normally invisible entity on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QHfgFoEoaI&hd=1 Orzo fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Apr 7, 2013 |

I'm happy to report that http://www.beaglesnes.org is up and running. If you want my SNES emulator for your BeagleBoard-xM, go download it and go to town. I'm still working on the docs and all, but the code and filesystem images are available, at least. Also, Internet Janitor, Suspicious Dish, and Lumpy: I'd like to credit you three for providing assistance with my GUI development. If you can PM me or shoot me a mail at hendersa (at) icculus.org with the name and contact e-mail (if you want one listed) that you want to be credited under, I'll get you guys in the docs as soon as I can.

You might take a look at mlbviewer for an example of how to interface with MLB.tv. I'm pretty sure it handles audio streams as well as video. It was made by a Linux nerd back in 2006 when MLB.tv didn't support Linux and now he just keeps going for the gently caress of it I guess.

so the site I've been working on for awhile now is live (but not publicizing too much): http://cuesbey.com https://github.com/rdennis463/cuesbey/wiki goes into a bit more detail on the "why" of it , but it's specifically answering a user story for Magic: The Gathering "Cube*" Designers: "As a cube designer who's interested in finding new cards, I often want to compare my list to other lists I've seen out in the community, and I'm interested in where they are different. These differences may lead me to new cards I hadn't even thought of that I'd be able to check out." * http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/tpc12/intro_to_cube given two lists of cards, show me the differences in a clear and logical way. using angular for the client side js, django/celery/redis/postgres on the back. Been working weekends/nights since late last year, and pretty happy with the execution given the narrow scope I bit off before release. http://angularjs.org/ and especially their unit test platform has been great . Big recommendations.

I don't know if it's supposed to be normal behavior, but if you go to the 0:44 mark of the top video, you can see the bottom 2 enemies triggering even though you're not in their actual line of vision (I take it the torch should block their vision, plus if I remember correctly from the original zelda game, they only respond when the player is in between the two of them, not on top of them).

I've been fighting with the logistics of releasing BeagleSNES as an open source project. I think that far too many people release software by just sticking it on the web as a tarball and saying "help yourself". There's a lot of documentation and packaging that goes into making software "useful" to an interested end-user or developer. The documentation is particularly important, since complex systems can be really difficult to get set up and running without good guidance. As I started gathering up all of my various sheets of notes and began writing documentation, I have found that I keep identifying more and more things that should probably be documented. I could probably write a book on all of it. So, why not?   Man, I hope there's some open source software award out there that is given for "most awesome documentation".

I hate to do this to such an awesome project, but my inner OCD requires me to inform you that "funtionality" is spelled wrong on the second image, second paragraph, second line. I will say though that I wish all the projects I used had such good documentation, props to you for sticking with what is usually one of the dullest parts of development.

No problem at all. I welcome all feedback! Otherwise, how would it get any better? It has not been run through a grammar or spell check yet, so I'm sure there are plenty of typos in there. I'll probably sic a bunch of goons on it as editors prior to release, if I can get a few volunteers.

Someone probably already did this, but I was curious about the post counts of various participants in my LP, so I whipped together a tool to scrape that information. It can be used for any SA thread. Still needs a little polish and a lot of commenting, might throw it up somewhere. Doesn't use any fancy stuff, just basic WinForms + LINQ + HTML Agility Kit.

I decided to learn 3D graphics and GL, so I wrote a BMD model viewer in WebGL: It's based on an old thing a bunch of different people wrote called "bmdview2". I cleaned it up and started porting it over. No live demo, since it crashes Firefox right now, but when I solve that, some other bugs, and implement everything else. I'm not sure why those materials turn out white. I'm guessing it's a Chrome bug maybe, since the same shader works fine on the desktop? Also, I haven't even implemented parsing and decompressing textures. I'm legit impressed at Nintendo's artists for their ability to implement all this shadowing (even detail like this) using vertex colors. Anyway, this is sort of a big "first project", since I'm learning the extremely quirky OpenGL API, and also pretty much emulating the native Gamecube GPU.
