I’m moving to Linux Mint
Posted in Tech on October 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m sorry, Ubuntu, but I just can’t take it anymore. Linux Mint is my new bitch.
Actually, the real reason I’m switching is that I’ve managed to screw Ubuntu over again, and none of the solutions for the problem I’m having have worked (issues with locales). I just kept making it worse. And now I’ve pretty [...]
Programming project: TicTack
Posted in Programming on October 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
After finding out Microsoft had released a free book for learning C++, I took them right up on it and downloaded it as soon as I could. The book is, well… not particularly well-proofread but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and say that the print edition is better.
Regardless, something about that book [...]
Hmm

I just read this on WebPagesThatSuck:
Recently there was an article about how popular web sites looked in the late 1990’s. While it’s interesting to see what Adobe or Apple looked liked back then, there isn’t much you can learn from these sites.
And I curiously wrote something eerily similar to what he’s describing (even with the [...]
HOWTO: openBVE on (Ubuntu) Linux
Posted in Tech, Tips on August 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
While trying to remain as distribution-generic as I can, this HOWTO will, as a matter of course, focus on Debian and Ubuntu. This information is current as of openBVE 1.2 and Tao Framework 2.1.0.
If you just want it to work: openBVE is available in Ubuntu’s repository now (as of 9.04, see here), but it lags [...]
’90s Web design
Posted in Tech, tagged 90s, Internet, nostalgia, web, web design on August 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Something about the mid-1990s Web is intriguing. It’s very evocative of an amateurish spirit; perhaps one a bit more freeform than today’s. Dare I say it has a certain bit of charm about it.
But that’s not to say the designs were much good. Garish colors, terrible dithered GIFs, drop shadows, beveled edges and seamed tiled [...]
Passing by value and by reference, as I understand it
Posted in Programming on August 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I spent a long, hard time yesterday trying to make sense of parameter passing. Oh, what a ‘joy’ it was. Just to make everyone else feel better about themselves, here’s my flawed understanding of it…at least in C++. Don’t take this to heart, because I guarantee there’re mistakes.
First, a couple definitions:
Parameter – what a function [...]
A few programming stumbling blocks
Posted in Programming on August 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ok, so I (mostly) finished going through that book I mentioned the other day. Then I remembered that I have a book better-oriented toward C++, so I started reading it yesterday. It’s How To Think Like a Computer Scientist: C++ Version. It’s also available for Java and Python, in various file formats.
I’ve read it with [...]
Nice Translator’s new look

I don’t know how long it’s been like this (can’t be too long), but the site’s been redressed. Check it out.
One word: o…k. I can dig the softer colors (a bit too subdued) but I really liked its organization better before. There’s just something about it that makes it feel much more cluttered.
What gets me [...]
openBVE fans, rejoice!

Happened upon this video today (I’m a bit late in finding this out):
Look at that detail *uncontrollable drool*.
As of version 1.2, 3D cabs are now a reality. The route in the video hasn’t been released yet but if you want to try out a 3D cab, follow the instructions here. It’s [...]
