I just posted something and somehow, it doesn’t show up on the front page… There is no draft anymore. One moment I thought another post was lost. 
Until I found it back in the database. Some people are complaining about new posts not showing up immediately, but no one has investigated the matter thoroughly… I hope I don’t have a similar problem.
UPDATE: It seems somehow, when publishing the draft, the timestamp didn’t get updated *rolling eyes*
You have like a total bunch of pictures from several camera sources, each with their own file naming convention, and you still want to give them an appropriate uniform filename which puts them all in the proper order? If you’re on KDE, you immediately think of KRename. But if you’re less fortunate (like me most of the times ;)), you may want to find a windows alternative. Search no more! THE Rename util is the answer.
Microsoft wants to invite everyone to write their own MSN bot. That’s right, let’s spam some more. Except, after 6 months, you’ll be paying for your spam.
Seriously, it’s a nice initiative, but certainly not innovating when you compare with all the open source IM clients out there. Who wants/uses MSN anyhow?
Recently, I wanted to make a simple animation to put on a webpage. I have a background image and a rendered 3D animation which should be on top of that.
When it comes to lossless image compression, PNG is my all-time favorite. It has layer support, full transparency, lossless non-patented compression, open format, … So the PNG-derived MNG would be a logical choice for animation, right? Wrong! 
Almost none of the current browsers support it out of the box! Mozilla supported it for some time, but gave up due to bloated implementation. Konqueror is the only one supporting MNG! Can you believe that? 
Maybe you can, if you see the popularity of Flash. But what if you just want a simple animation? Is the loading of a full flash player justified for a simple animation? And why prefer a closed proprietary format if there are open ones? So I went on a quest for better formats. (more…)
Guess I have another movie to add to my list of movies that are “so stupid they’re actually good”.
If you’re amused by Tom Green saying:
Duff: See those dead plants? I planted those.
or fan of Jason Lee:
John: Dave! John Plummer. Remember? You used to call me “asshole”?
David Loach: I call everybody “asshole.”
John: Yes, but I believe I was the first. We were five, maybe six at the time?
David Loach: Congratulations, asshole. Now get to the point.
then this movie is a must see for you. The quotes really don’t do much justice to the movie, but they’re the best I could find on IMDB.
I must admit Tom Green can sometimes act “over the edge“, but in this movie he keeps control over himself.
