Blog posting has been slow lately. This is mostly due to real life and connectivity issues, but despite this I have had some time to dabble in the various public projects I juggle. The pace is not rapid enough to be able to keep up a alternate-day post like I used to, but is suitable [...]
Firstly, some apologies for the lack of life on this blog. Things are trickling in and you can actually keep an eye on WIPUP for incoming updates on my projects that I won’t write about in thinkMoult. Just down the road from my faculty building is a site called CarriageWorks – it was an abandoned [...]
Hey folks, I haven’t posted anything since the SLUG meeting for (what should be) obvious reasons. University has started and it takes a little time for me to adjust back into a schedule after almost a year without one. I’m still working out the kinks to juggle university, freelancing, family time, thoughtscore, wipup, sports, music, [...]
During the holidays I met up with Eugene Trounev, (aka it-s), one of KDE’s awesome artists to discuss our reorganisation of KDE.org and the design aspects of it (which is coming soon in the series). It was a 2-day meeting and it was my first time meeting another KDE enthusiast face-to-face, as given my inconvenient [...]
Blog posts are getting a little r- wait a minute- oh, there haven’t been many blog posts! This of course doesn’t mean I’ve been lounging around doing nothing, but probably means I’m doing more since I’m not clearing out the random gunk that accumulates in that little hole in my brain. Anyways, firstly the project [...]
KDE 4.5 is out! (Yes, I am a little late) I was really happy to have contributed just that little bit to this release and hopefully that trend continues. Just wanted to say how much I appreciated this DE and to congratulate and thank everybody for their hard work. Something else that could be interesting [...]
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 [...]
Today I just wanted to say that I finally got around to upgrading the system behind the Blender Model Repository. The BMR runs on the Xoops CMS and I can’t say it’s the best CMS I’ve seen. It’s a good many versions out of date and has been in need of an upgrade for quite [...]
Hello everybody, I’m back from my 5 day jungle trek and I’m just catching up on what I’ve missed throughout the week. I was initially going to award you all with a post about the trek itself, but it turns out Jonathan Williamson from Montage Studio (the very same who does the Blender screencasts and [...]
The ThoughtScore project is another gypsy on my to-do list along with the BMR. It seems as though the world of 3D graphics and I are drifting slowly apart. It’ll be such a pity to let it go, so I want to make a serious effort and continue the amazing progress I once had on [...]
As some might know, Blender is an open-source 3D content creation application – it’s cross-platform, a pioneer in the free 3D application market, and I use it. Not only do I use it, love it, and hang out in the #blenderchat IRC channel on freenode, I host the Blender Model Repository, taking over from Andrew [...]
I’m taking a bit of a break from my computer, Gentoo, KDE, etc related articles yet again to talk a bit about the vast array of creative and multimedia related creations I produce once in a while. Seeing as you guys must be bored out of your minds from the thumbnails I’ve released of the [...]
I recently received a book on Blender 3D architecture, Buildings and Scenery from the folks over at Packt Publishing. The author is Allan Brito, those who frequent BlenderNation might have heard his name a few times. I must say, it’s a good book, and I would have no trouble recommending it to folks interested in [...]
As we all learnt from business class, nobody likes a monopoly. The government doesn’t like them, the consumers don’t like them, and well, the employees of the company with any sense of righteousness would not like their work either. Most famous monopoly debacle of technology? Microsoft. M$. The dicussion starts to die down when it gets [...]
When I’m too busy to come up with stuff to show you, I find other interesting news and simply share. Turns out that the Blender folks have got some nominations for the Suzanne Awards, it’s time to check out what’s great in store for us. Check it out. For the sake of a longer post, [...]
