I've been playing some Xbox 360 where I'm doing my thesis project, since I don't have a console of my own. Some of the games I've been playing are Guitar Hero 2, Burnout: Revenge and Dead Rising. Oh how I love Dead Rising!
I've gone out of my way to take pictures of large zombie groups and even put …

My good friend DrunkenCoder sent me a funny link about The Two Things about Computer Programming.
I just thought for a minute and thought up the two main things about hosting events.
1) Marketing is king
2) Deliver what you marketed
I hope someone disagrees, so that I know I'm right. ;)

I'm a bit excited right now! During a meeting with Lars Gustavsson about my thesis work I got called by a recruiter from Starbreeze. They want me to apply for a Associate Producer opening, "if it interests me". Of course it does! I gotta admit that I felt a bit pimp telling Lars to wait and the rec…

Introduction
Yesterday SGA had its first Game Developers' Workshop. I've been with SGA in different ways since 2002, and the quality of the participants really has gone up! But last year, I got to participate in the jury weekend (not part of the jury, but helping out by starting games and serving co…

I beat Elite Beat Agents today! On Hard Rock!! I can't even believe my own replay, it's just crazy. Also I can't believe I failed 2 beats... it sounds vain since there's almost 400 beats on that song - but that's just it! Missing two just makes it silly!
Each song has three "gates" (or whatever you…

Today there's a party at our student union building. Last time I was there they had this giant disco ball in the entry hall. Hmmm...!
It reminded me of something... *hmm*
The lighting sucked so I adjusted it with Levels. Also did some color adjustments with Hue/Saturation. I was especially happy with…

Hi!
Sometimes I get bored so if I have a fun picture handy I start up Photoshop and make myself a new MSN avatar or something else. Since I can't draw I stick to editing images... I've got some pictars lying around so I thought I'd start posting them in this Playing with Photoshop series!

So I'm arriving at the point in my education where I have to do a thesis project. My last one, a modular particle system, was for a Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering, Real-time Systems. Which I did for a very small, now extinct, game development studio called Habitat North. Now it's time for…

Work continues on ThumbView2, albeit slowly. Today a bug occurred, and just as it did in ThumbView1 it crashed and brought Windows (explorer.exe) down with it. Since ThumbView is a shell extension, it's a COM object run from a DLL by the OS shell itself. So if the DLL crashes, so does the shell.

Like most coders I never thought much about Unicode support, until one of my users asked for it. What? Why?
As most of you know, ThumbView is a shell extension I wrote some years ago. Since it's used by Explorer and gets image file paths a user noted that it wouldn't display his images because *gasp…

Disabling the damn language switch
Maybe it's just me, but I alt+tab alot and somehow I always end up switching language as I somehow press alt+shift. This causes Windows to change language on me, so when writing Swedish all a, a, and o becomes [, ', ; which is a problem since those are common lette…

I finally did it. After almost 2 years and who knows how much lost profit* I finally added ads (Google AdSense) to the ThumbView website. I thought I could just add it to my SourceForge hosted website but thanks to uavfun I saw the Acceptable Uses and was stopped before I made a mistake. So I trans…

Wohoo last last night we finally had our Brazilian Day as a result of the project, where we presented the book and more. The day was long and hard, full of carrying stuff around and showing companies to the presentation room.

Gamers' Challenge, an event I organized with Swedish Game Awards (SGA) on the 4th of October.
As SGA is a game development competition, for students, it is only natural that the participants are independent developers. But as we all know there isn't a really big gamer community for independent games…

As many of you I use TinyXML for my XML in C++ parsing needs. I lurk on the mailing list too. Once in a while the project manager Lee Thomason decides to change or add something, other than normal fixes. Last time I got involved was when he was going to add a copy constructor. I suggested using the…

Edited 2006-07-22: Found ways to preload images for rollover and alternate text/images through CSS.

Anywho... Now I can change the images and buttons of the page purely through CSS, without touching the (X)HTML. I tried several methods, that I'll present.

As noted in my last post, summer vacation keeps interrupting my plans for world domination. On friday I met up with some friends to barbeque. Don't know about you guys, but here in Sweden everybody always buys sausages and makes hot dogs. After living in Brazil for a year, that's just not an accept…
