Jay's crappy March

3rd April 2012

Shit whatever you had sucks Jay. Glad its not cancer and that you seem to be getting better w/o any noticeable brain damage. If this was like an abscess or something it really should have been diagnosed sooner.

IBM to buy Sun Microsystems for $7 billion

18th March 2009

Yeah, but with the new iPhone that's coming out you will be able to send pictures and use your phone as a modem O_O
The merger may create a monopoly for the big businesses that rely on IBM and Sun, but I doubt it will have too much noticeable effect for a*snip*

Perhaps Java? If its safe to assume your users have the JRE the standard library has a pretty monolithic tookit. For GUI apps Swing is easy to use, especially if you have Netbeans.

QOTD : What are you working on?

2nd January 2009

Me and a friend are looking at making a tanks game using OGRE and the Open Dynamics Engine. The basic idea is that you can customise the AI python then let your tanks slog it out over the net. Its pretty ambitious, and with work and everything else I someh*snip*

Holiday offer.. 50% off Cobra3D Module

2nd January 2009

Well from what I can tell its faster than BB, which is generally good enough for me. Tbh, I havent really used it a lot since I bought it as I have been focusing on more mainstream languages. But I would agree that with the 3D module on top it gets fairly*snip*

Tweaks...

1st January 2009

Why would anyone want to waste time adding support for that crap? And that, of course, is assuming that Microsoft would be willing to enable them do that as its not open source.

Tweaks...

1st January 2009

Are those supposed to be advantages?
ActiveX is a bloody mess. IMO, browser apps should not have permission to write to files. Also, ActiveX is the only thing I can think of that makes websites platform and browser dependant. Imagine what it would be lik*snip*

Portal Site

30th December 2008

I'd recommend using a CMS too, but I think that coding your own would be a waste of time.
Personally I'd recommend Joomla if you are using PHP. When theres some functionality you need you can usually find a plugin to do the job. If no suitable plugin exi*snip*

Yeah, IE really is an unbelievable pile of shit. The PNG problem is one of the more notorious bugs. Google "ie png fix" it should come up with some javascript hacks to sort it out.

Firefox Plugins

14th December 2008

I'll second NoScript and third the Web Developer toolbar. Overall though I reckon that Firebug has to be about the most useful extension.

An image editing program

28th October 2008

[quote]I must insist on it being cross platform too.[/quote]
Me too. Why stick to Windows? Paint already exists, so your program will probably be of little use to anyone. On the other hand A decent MS paint clone is something bizarrely missing for Linux. *snip*

Optimization!

29th September 2008

Theres no way around it; you will have to iterate over each pixel, or use some kind of SIMD instructions. GPUs are very good at this kind of stuff, but if youre doing software rendering you can still use the MMX/3dnow resisters to crunch 4 pixels at a time*snip*

Google Browser!

Interesting how they ommitted Opera, which AFAIK was the fastest for JS.

A long shot question

4th August 2008

You need to put a ./ before it. IE:
[code]./progname.exe[/code]
Or install it to /bin or /usr/bin

A long shot question

IIRC its:

Not on a linux machine atm to test it.

I found this earlier today.

4th August 2008

We started java using BlueJ in college, but when I got around to using netbeans I wished that I have used it from the start; its just so much better. Fair enough theres quite a lot of options, but found it very easy to use, or at least compared to VS. The*snip*
