| Flash: another nasty thing 17.11.2006 |
| Anytime you want to copy paste the image you're working on Photoshop to Flash, don't do it by copy/pasteing, it will modify a bit the image sizes.. in instance, if the image is 700px of width, it will paste it as 699.7. And these kind of things make the final product very pixel non-perfect, specially when your flash needs to integrate with the html design. So, to avoid that, save the image as PNG or something and then import in on flash. Very silly thing but it really means a lot! |

1 comment| ifparty'07? 13.11.2006 |
| A bit of history... Last year sole didn't want to help organising ifparty'06 because she wasn't up to it for a couple of reasons. Because that she wasn't able to understand why I was still helping in the org. At that point I guess I had the time for it and the only thing I had in mind was "Ok, it's going to be difficult this year, but we need to organise it, otherwise if we don't organise this one we won't have another one next year". I can tell you I put a lot of my time on it, a lot of my time desigining, coding, and the harder work was sending emails to everyone, keeping the communications, keeping the energy, good vibes, all that stuff. In fact, at some point I saw that I wasn't going to have time for it, so I said to the guys that if we wasn't able to achieve one milestone I would have to leave the orgo cos I didn't have time to do everything in a hurry at the last minute. And well, we wasn't able to do the milestone, however I still did the design/dev and everything for the party, tho I wasn't able to buy the plane tickets because they were quite expensive by that time (one month before the party). This year we have the same problem, lack of motivation, and the main orgos already asked for some help on escena.org. But nobody said anything, and they still think that they are not able to do all the work they did the last year for the party. This time I put my milestone a bit earlier because I was going to do a big part of the organisation this year (having another non-stop room/2ndstage like, and providing all the contents and stuff, lives, which requires a lot of rrpp with spaniard and foreigners to motivate them to do a participate, demoshows and all that stuff). And well, we missed it again. So, I'm off, I'm afraid I can't support the party anymore. Also, Sole which wanted to help this year is off too, and also another key guy. Right now I can see that working on escena.org is helping much more than not all the work I did last year working on ifparty'06, so the decision is easey So, well, if you can help, you have the time, and the motivation, please let them know, otherwise, I don't think we will have ifparty'07. A shame, because we already had the theme. |

| Nathan Fake the Sky Was Pink (edicion Leonardo Martin) 09.11.2006 |
| I hate when the people post youtube videos. I hate when the people talks about others works But... This is just too great. I discovered Nathan Fake and James Holden more than 1 year ago (maybe 2?). And I still love this track (the sky was pink). On the video you will first listen Nathan's original version, and then mixed (somehow) with Holden's remix. The video is also cool, nice old videos, nice explosions, but it's not really the important thing here :) I knew then that these guys were going to get quite high, and I think they are doing so and they will keep going and going. Really good news for the electronic music, or atleast for the one that fits my taste :) |

| v630i 05.11.2006 |
| After a bad experience speaking with a client on the phone (being me the one that was calling) and having the conversation interrupted because I had no more credit (ewww), and having to go to some shop to topup the phone to then come back home and call again, I decided to get a contract somewhere. Didn't took to much time to setup all this up, in less than 1 day I already had the order done and in a couple of days I received the phone. When registering on vodafone for a contract you got the option of asking for a free phone. On the list the one I preferred was a Sony Ericsson v630i, it even had some geeky external speakers, so yeah, I decided to get that one.  So the phone ended up to be quite cool (imho). It has 2 cameras, one for doing video conferences, and another for taking pictures (cybershoot technology), but to be honest, the quality of both ones aren't really cool (what can you expect? :D) One of the first things I tested was a trial game (Ridge Racer) that was available, and I was quite impressed of the power of this phone.Then, I browsed a bit pouet.net looking for some demos to test and after being able to used by first time the bluetooh technology between my ibook and the mobile (great stuff by the way), I found a couple, but the ones I really wanted to have were Nokia only (s60 series or something). Really a shame, however, the phone runs very well any J2ME one, very smooth, so, c'mon guys! Stop supporting Nokia like that and do compatible stuff! :D Right, another platform to test some demos. |

| mrdoob.com, finally an ID 05.11.2006 |
 Yey, I've finally done a logo/style for myself as webdesign/dev freelancer. Until last week I had phodoob as homepage and I didn't like the idea of having pictures of myself in parties and stuff when showing my website to clients ;) Well, I didn't care that much but well, I made a holding page by now.. slowly but secure :D |

| Write whatever you want 02.11.2006 |
| Right, sorry about that, I'm just testing a new method for detecting spammers on the comments. Right now I'm still getting a lot, luckly 99% of them are detected as spamers and stored on the database as spamers. What I want to avoid if just that. If it's a spamer, don't store the info on the database. For doing this I need your help. Please, write whatever you want as a comment :D |

| kocka09 : Now with camera 30.10.2006 |
 What a name, uh? Well, after finding this tutorial/paper on friday I spent quite a lot of hours implementing it to my 3dengine in flash. I've to say that there are a couple of bugs on that tutorial (but I won't say which one are :D). Also I had to find a way to implementing 4Dmatrices and Vectors to the code (as Actionscript doesn't have them). So, yeah... 'Now with camera' may sound simple, but isn't (atleast for me). Again, a bit of history. All this started when Gargaj sent me 2 years ago (?) a .fla with a 3D test he did. It was just a cube (kocka in hu) rotating, with circles on the dots. Starting from there I got interested on it, and learnt all the theory behind the 3dengines and wrote from scratch a new engine which I decided to call it kocka as a tribute to the original kocka.fla :) So, well, now it has a camera... the controls aren't done properly yet, I'm trying to find the way of doing quake-like camera control, I guess it will take a bit more of time :) However I guess I'll stop the dev of it with AS2 and move it to AS3... I'm really looking forward to see what's the improvement in this example :D |
