This is what I call a nice desktop environment :)

I still depend on Flash CS3 for some vector stuff so I needed to have WindowsXP with Flash CS3 running properly. After trying some virtualisation programs (qemu, vmware), some guys recommended VirtualBox, and... oh boy, it does really run fast!

Here it's a little video of me playing around with my new desktop environment, (you may need VLC):



I wonder if you can record your desktop at 1920x1200 with Windows or MacOS :P

UPDATE:
At start, I was amazed how fast WindowsXP was booting up. But after installing JRE, DirectX and everything seemed to make it quite slower. Here you have another video to see WindowsXP booting up fastest than ever :D



PS: If you're wondering about what's my wallpaper... here you have the answer

November 11th, here you have random American. I dedicate this post to you :D

WTF you may say?! Well, just think about a random american being so american that can't handle date formats in non-american ways + being this month November (11) + paranoia + having a 9/11 image some posts down this one, and this is what you get on your mail:

"Ok asshole!

What every post has to be on the 11th on a given month? You screwball. I'm reporting you to motherland security! Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck."

Now that everyone is talking about 3D and flash, for some reason I'm getting a lot of emails about people interested in my little photo gallery. Seems like people want the sources or just the .swf but for their stuff. Well, when I did that version of Phodoob, the code was indeed better, but then AS3 poped out, and since then I've always wanted to move it to AS3... I believe I can make it run much more faster with much more pictures on it.

My work is very based on motivation periods. It's hard for me to follow a list of things to do, but if I get inspired with something I just crack on it and release it.

So, apart from all the people asking me to do screensavers with my effects, I'm at the moment 100% motivated on cracking a new version of phodoob with AS3 and a few surprises. And with the sources available this time :)

Thanks for the people that shown their interest, it's all because you ;) Now, stay tuned (Give me 1 week or so).

Just in time for flash on the beach, Jalava has just released the demoengine that he has been using for the latest Evoflash demos.

Thanks a lot for sharing this Jalava!!! :)
Now... it's time to learn some tricks. But while Tortoise does the checkout, what about watching the last demo done with this demoengine?

Ah... good old days...

I have been looking to get some time to play around a bit with APE, and after doing the usual tests that everyone would do, I though that may be a good idea would be to mix the physics with the blobs effect.

And here are the results:



Quite slow, but it's a good start I guess. If you wonder how it works, here it's a behind the scenes version of the same piece:



Main.as (you'll need Blobalise.as  and APE)

Enjoy, enjoy!

Amazing!! And interesting to see an american doing a Anime movie too :) I'm sure it has been a big shock for the culture there.

Thanks, and thanks for the subtitles! :D

After the deadline, time for some sleep and gaming.



And I think I almost finished it... but, if that wasn't enough...
