Ruby on Rails

I have been messing around w/ Rails again. Never a good thing, but I've got a conherent project in mind with a very simple feature set. Basically looking to make an effective inventory…

Code without meaning.

Hmmm. This is hanging around, and is something I wrote over a year ago, possibly more. I have not real context, except that it had some purpose in control…

ADD *drool*
I am a spaz apparently. Still no COM tutorial. Upshot I've been gaining steady ground in that department, covered in depth registry entries, ATL commands to support and automate those registry creations, pretty complete understanding of MIDL, how to compile in the typelib description into the rig…

Medium Cargo Hauler
I've been working w/ more modular designs in Wings3D. The cargo containers and engine pods (ugly things coming out the sides) and seperate files and would be an upgrade point for players.

General idea for this design is to create a cargo hauler that can vary its size. All connecting together via i…

Further Refinement
I took some time and cleaned up the engines and "wings" which are really just the engines :) on the previous model.

Sorry to the 56k users :D (not really)

Oh one other things before the pictures.
I'm very tempted by this.

more random 3d modeling
Seeing Sir Sappo's current project got me thinking about space ships again, so I hopped into wings and whipped this up real quick (less then 20min).

Horrible Game Design
A lesson in bad design.
BattleToads

As a kid, I used to have a love/hate relation with this game. It was impressive, you got to kick ass, giant mutant reptile things were cool, and you beat shit up.

Problem was, never ever, never ever got past the race on level 3.
Ever.

As such, I hadn't seen the other…

COM Tutorial Still Coming, Unsure of Arrival
Sorry for the slowness in this, and lack of notification last monday. I have not given up on the COM article, but going from creating a simple COM object to understanding the variations in COM, ATL/OLE Automation, the division between COM and DCOM, attempting to create something that works back al…

Article Vote #2
Ok time for another vote. Even though the Washu article came out like a seizure w/ MS Paint it is "done". As such, time to actually do a "real" article. I removed the Neurosurgery article as I would rather do a real piece this time that is useful. As such I present the old options, with two new…

How Washu is Better.
You've probably always had this odd thought in the back of your head that your not the best. That someone else was better then you, then vauge thoughts about .NET, labs underneath staircases, and being hit up side the head with things you can't understand. Well, I'm here to tell you that you are …

Washu Article Delayed :/
I'm really sorry, I'm about 1/8th into the article, but I've been on the phone for the past 3 hrs so I haven't gotten a chance to finish it up yet. I'll finish the article tommorow night. No time to finish it at work (or during lunch at work).

    Things I have learned - Serial
    Things I have learned recently.

    -Serial I/O is more arcane then PPP.
    -It is a bad idea to program a Java Serial I/O application that runs inside SUSE running inside VMWare running on Windows, then making use of USB<->Serial adapters, that connect to external serial modems.

    Solairs 10 project - Delayed by Sun
    Since it is Wed afternoon, and I have not recieved a response to my request for a License from Sun, I doubt I'll be getting it tommorow or friday.

    The Insanity - Need Your Vote!
    Ok, so I see a news article showing that Sun has released their C/C++ IDE package Sun Studio 11 for free. Since Solaris 10 is also free, this begs the question...
    Should I install Solaris 10?Please leave a comment and I'll tally the results in a few days

    XML is expandable, but lets make it fast.
    An intresting delemia. You want to use XML, because it's there, because there are tools, because it can do everything. Slight problem, it is slow to parse, and pushing it over a wire (network) isn't exactly cheap in some cases. So what do we do?

    Well, you make XML less human readable and get some…
