Seem like Mr. Jorge Fuentes aka Zomb finished the v2 of his own portfolio. Seems to be a nice system done by Feiss and it has the always nice touch of Frem.

Enjoy the works (or play with the piano otherwise ;))

I've tried everything...

Tools / Global Classpaths / AS3
Project properties / Classpath

and even adding this -source-path+= 'CLASSPATHGOESHERE'

Project properties / Compiler Options / Additinal Compiler Options

FlashDevelop was finding the class, but Flex2SDK wasn't when compiling. In the end I had to go to
C:\Program Files\Flex2SDK\frameworks\flex-config.xml

And change (and uncomment) this Node:

<source-path>
<path-element>locale/{locale}</path-element>
<path-element>CLASSPATHGOESHERE</path-element>
</source-path>

I believe it's just a bug from FlashDevelop 3.0.0 Beta3, hope they fix it soon, meanwhile, I hope this helps someone.

During the weekend I was playing with the blobs effect, trying to make it 1,024bytes with no luck at all. I even installed Flex2SDK to compile directly from FlashDevelop, but after fixing the code so the compiler was happy the filesize was 80bytes bigger than what flashIDE generates :_(

So, I lose the personal challenge and then started to play with the effect trying to do something cool with it, and after finding some other bugs on the player and finding a workaround for them.. here it's. It's 1'5kb, which isn't too bad anyway. I was calling the effect "Interactive blobs", but I believe the female community will rename it to "Oh shit! I got my period" :)

Anyway... sources here.

PS: Don't forget to click on the stage to make the particles go away :)

Well, this thing keeps happening in this MacBook Pro. After installing the system updates, randomly the Wireless stops working. So, doesn't matter how many times you try to connect to the WPA wireless that it won't just connect. Doesn't matter either how you do it, which panel you go from or which option you click. I'm talking about MacOSX by the way.

So, the solution for me was interesting...

1) Go to your wireless router, get rid of the WPA, leave it without protection for some minutes.

2) Connect with your computer  to the unprotected wireless. You're allowed to scream "yeeey!" if it connects.

3) Then go back to the router config, set back the WPA password, and connect again. Again, you're allowed to scream "fuck yeah!!" if it works

Seems like there is no way to fit this one in 1,024bytes this time :( It won't go down from 1,300bytes.. Oh well, at least 100 "blobs" running at a decent speed makes me happy.

I was able to do this:



Well... it is, in fact, 1,013 bytes... so I still had 11bytes available.

And after doing it, I know a bit better how flash (and the compiler) works :)

UPDATE: I was wondering... if you like the challenge and you do some other effects (in 1,024 bytes), send the source to me, so I can prepare a special page to do a little gallery with them :)

UPDATE2: Seems like the effect doesn't work in the intel-mac version of the player :S I'll take a look at it asap.

Well, seems like after a couple of months, my first work done at Hi-Res! is finally up and running.

The MMG Venue was an extension for Sony's Blu-Ray site which  was already featuring the MoLR (Museum of Low Resolution). This second part of the site is mainly a video player, on the first scene you have to chose what are you looking for (music, videos or games), once selected you'll have a list of trailers to watch.

It was almost a solo project, as I worked on the 3D, illustration, animation and code. Regarding the code... there were some good ideas on it but in the end didn't look as I was expecting, mainly because the timeframe in this case was quite short :S

Anyway, we're working now on much nicer stuff which should be ready in some months.

Stay tuned ;)

Is it just me, or Apple products are everyday uglier and uglier? Starting with the iPhone, which I still don't like (the device design, the content seems alright), then the iMac and now this?

Yikes! Feels like somebody got fired.

Some weeks ago while I was taking a look at my contact list on pidgin, I found some people that I knew but that I never added to my list, neither the program prompted me asking if I wanted them to contact me. I checked their email and they were using @gmail accounts. I didn't gave more though to the issue at that point.

Today it happened again, and it just shows clear that whenever you join a group in groups.google.com seems like it automatically adds you as a contact to everyone on the list. I don't know if this is because pidgin doesn't handle very well this yet or because google doesn't care about privacy in that field. But it can get a bit annoying.

Luckily until now, I'm happy that I'm now in contact to all those new friends :D
