Opera 9: Awesomness. The killer feature for me has got to be the widgets -- that's the only thing I missed when I moved from Firefox to Opera.

I hate PHP. Manual installation isn't working. The windows installer isn't working. Now I have to keep mucking with this **** until I find out why it doesn't do the God-damned job it's supposed to do, and I've wasted all my day already.
And MySQL too. Damn it. The retarded thing doesn't work out of …

I spent the whole day working on the English glyphs. I wasn't happy with the ugly look in the previous entry, so I took a screenshot of an anti-aliased font, zoomed in, and started a pixel-by-pixel struggle of epic proportions, crafting the glyphs by hand, in C. I could've probably written a progra…

I was too tired tonight to work on anything serious (e.g. message passing), so I decided to spend some time on VBE (VGA Bios Extensions). I had already downloaded, built and installed VBE GRUB to the disk image, so all that's left was to write the actual graphics code.

A long time ago, I thought installing InstallShield update manager would be a good idea. For a variety of reasons, it wasn't. I couldn't find a way to uninstall it, though. No start menu entry, no Add/Remove Programs entry, no way to do it from the application itself. In the past, I'd look for a wa…

So, I decided I sould revive my m4d french sk1llz. I've (lightly) studied French in school for approximately 7 years, but - unfortunately - I didn't put that knowledge to good use. The result is that I can now read and understand French if it's not heavy on the vocabulary, but I'm totally unable to…

Since last Thursday, I've been debugging multi-tasking. I had kernel-space threads running fine (which is cool, by the way. Multi-threaded kernels, that is), but I could never do a successful privilege level switch (aka ring switch, from kernel-space to user-space and back). I was always getting bo…

Microsoft OneNote is becoming one of the most invaluable programs I have ever used in my life. Since I started using it, it dramatically affected the way I work, the way I surf, and, in general, the way I use my computer.
Even though it provides a lot of nice features, what really hit the sweet spot…

With the exams out of the way, I was able to finalize it. I honestly intend to write an entry on its development and a couple of issues I bumped through during that.
I promised Jack, and you don't know what he can do with a chainsaw.

So, today I was contemplating writing a Word-to-BB/Wiki converter; basically, a program that takes a Word document and generates BB or Wiki code that achieves the same formatting. I'm really comfortable with typing and formatting text in Word, and I've never seen something like this, save for Googl…

Learning an entirely new programming paradigm is surely an extremely refreshing experience. I've been having lots of Prolog fun today.

It's official. This journal's no more titled "Rarely updated". I still don't know what to name it, though, so I'll leave it at '...' temporarily. If you've got any smart suggestions that fulfill the following criteria (yes, you, Jack), feel free to drop me a message:

[C++] Direct3D hooking sample demonstrates how to inject your code into Direct3D9 applications, effectively becoming Direct3D itself.
Things are really starting to get out of hand. I swear, if I do another update this month, I'll rename the journal.

[C++] Overlay sample. Illustrates how to render content over full-screen applications (like XFire). This is actually one of 2 techniques that can be used to do it. I might write a sample for the other one later.

I've just released the [MDX] C# port of jollyjeffers' HDR demo. Any feedback welcome (post to the aforementioned thread).

Ah, been a long time since my last update. Following my last update, I got involved in 2 projects in a manner that is best described as crunch mode. During that period, I didn't really get a chance to pursue my other programming interests (e.g. Graphics programming).
About a month ago, the crunch wa…

Finally, I have finished my finals and college projects. It's been a pretty intense semseter - at least for the guys that attended. I, being the pro slacker that I am, have attended about 3 lectures and 4 or 5 classes throughout the semester (out of like 100 lectures and 30 classes or something). T…

Muhammad Adel, a friend and coworker of mine, has started an interesting blog a week or two ago. He writes about software development topics in general - so far, there's one entry about requirements specification, and 2 about security.
