thinkMoult blog design updated.

It’s come a long way since the original concept redesign back in the July of 2009. The thinkMoult blog has been incrementally updated probably once a month with small tweaks to the layout. The blog has been stripped originally from its (relatively) featureful edition to the bare essentials – ie. a streaming wall of text [...]

Evan interpretive score released.

Remember Evan? No, not the guy – the piece. The piece named after the guy. That piano piece. Yeah, the one I composed almost 8 months ago. The one I never announced I had finished composing. The reason is partly because I didn’t finish composing it. I slapped on a makeshift ending to wrap it [...]

Love the guards at my condo – to them everything is a pizza delivery.

Bingo, sir.

If you haven’t heard of buzzword bingo, you should be thankful for the job you have. Buzzword Bingo is an iteration of bingo where your card’s grid is filled with buzzwords instead of card numbers. But what are buzzwords, you ask? Buzzwords are words that come and go in fashion for people to use when [...]

WIPUP sightings!

Was happy today to find this mention of WIPUP by a Latino by the name of Gnosis VonDark – he had found WIPUP from the openDesktop submission and gave his thoughts on the bigger picture behind WIPUP on his blog. It’s in Spanish so you might want to run it through a translator. It discusses [...]

Tech Tip #6: Reencode any video to ensure compatibility with Windows Media Player

Other very useful tip I picked up when doing video manipulation the other day that deserves its own post is reencoding any video so that it will work on a vanilla Windows Media Player (without any other codecs added). Windows Media Player is probably the most stubborn, pathetic video player the software world has ever [...]

Portfolio 2010 Finished.

One of the universities I applied to required a portfolio and so I took some time off to collect some of my works and put it together. Most, if not all of the works included are all created using open-source software (Blender, GIMP, Scribus, QCAD, Lilypond and LAMP setups). Those who track my WIPUP profile [...]

Printers are the spawn of the devil and should be left to die a horrible, slow death.

Tech Tip #5: Rotate a video by 90 degrees with mencoder

I was recently doing some video editing work where the workflow was something like this: film in portrait, transfer to computer, rotate videos by 90 degrees, sequence together several videos, strip out background noise from entire video. Filming was done with a camera, sequencing was done by Kdenlive (I’ve previously only had experience with Blender’s [...]

Rigging a machine.

Things have been going absurdly slow lately. No commits to WIPUP. No new ThoughtScore models (though a few more seconds of video have been added). Nothing open-source related (except for trying out the Ubuntu beta1 on a box). Even schoolwork has slowed. Because I fully emphathise that people with a grip of things wouldn’t give [...]

Just trying out Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 and I must say it does look very polished.

Happy April 1st, everybody! Haven’t had posts for a while because I’ve just been bumming around like a lazy farce.
