neon bin's&src's released
08.12.2004
As you probably know, neon (xplsv.com vjtool) binaries and sources was released exactly 1 month ago.

Some people told me that the release was not a good idea, because, for example, Spain is full of lame vj people putting some random videos downloaded from internet and doing nothing. And that they were going to use my visuals and also the tool. Well, honestly, about that point, I don't care, they can use my visuals if they please that will be much better than not to still in my HD, and about to use the tool, perhaps if they saw an xplsv gig wherever they can think like "wow! I want that tool! They do nice stuff!".. As always the tool is "only" a video and 3D scenes mixer/syncher. You CAN'T create new stuff with the tool, you will need to use photoshop and 3D Studio Max to create new stuff, and you will need time and good taste for that. Also the tool have a lot of bugs and there is no documentation, and nevere will be I'm afraid.

In the other hand, some people sourprised when said "ey! neon rox!! I spend all the las night trying to figure out how it works". Hahaha, really some people did that, but I guess they were playing only with the visuals I released.

We released the tool because mac started the v2 totally new last year and then leave the project. So the v1 was basicly dead, yeah, you can do stuff but have a lot of bugs and sometimes is really hard to do stuff with it. So as the tool is much better in some points that the actual commercial tools we released to "improve" the sector, and if someone wants to use it.. good! and also if someone wants to improve it.. fucking good!

A friend of mine told me yesterday that in some spanish club there was playing xplsv.com videos where you can see the xplsv.com logo on the right-down corner. Probably was some of the videos on the site right now. That guy asked me if I was angry because that.. No! just the opposite, I'm glad that they visual are good enough to be used wherever. Some months ago some guy told me that in some duth rave there was playing using videos from the demo MDMA on the visuals, that's cool!

do you want to be rich?

As you know, I'm trying to rent a flat latelly and I'm doing that with a estate agency. After watch some flats, sing some papers and all that you have to do a transfer to the estate agency account. So today I had to went to the bank and do the transfer. I just forgot my passport at home and I was very pissed off for that, but I tried it anyway. So I went to the bank and I did a (big and chap(one day)) transfer to another account. I show to them my debit card, my statements and they never ask me for my passport or any ID. So, you know, get the debit card and the statements from somebody and do that transfer to you account ;)

i'm not a coder anymore
29.11.2004
At bcnparty'100 I decided to buy a gp32, there was an stand there where you could buy a lot of stuff for it so I eventually got one.

I was so happy to have it, with one you can play mp3, ogg, mods (mod, xm, it), use emulators (mega drive, super nintendo, amstrad...) play some ported games (doom, quake,..) and whatever you want. That's a fresources platform, there is not a company like nintendo or sega behind, you can develop your own tools for it, you got everything that you need for it and a lot of libraries ported as well.

Sounds great uh? sounds as great as I tried to code things for it as well, with some Sole's help I installed an already configured setup, I did the very first program, with the typical bouncing pixel, also I did an spiral and those sort of things (with SDL library), then I understood how .lib's and .h's works. And all that. Perhaps the problem was to try to use SDL, perhaps the freedev configured wasn't properly configured, but I wasn't able to make the gp32 play a mod or so. I was dissapointed with all that. So I'll forget about to do something in C or C++, let's focus in one field please!! ;)

But well, perhaps I'll try once again with another IDE and without SDL or something.

win an awesome evening! (only available in london)
25.11.2004
Since June of this year I have been living in a shitty house sharing with an excentric(painter/artist like) old woman on northwest london. The house is really unconfortable, no facilities to clean the cloth, no facilities to cook and also there is no shower, just a bath (this is the worst point for me). Also, since September I share my life with another person and that means that the rooms becomes more small and the house as well. So, since some months we started to look an studio only for us (also because we had enough money).

So, finally yesterday we had our first foxtons tour arround notting hill. People says that estate agencies sucks, but honestly I quite liked the fact of being drived arround the zone and to the studio in a posh mini. The studio was not bad, but we should take a look to other ones. After that we decided to move to regent street to take a look to the new Mac Store that they opened the last Saturday. So, we arraived to Oxford circus and was then when I see all the zone with christmas lights and decorations, all oxford street have big focus proyecting lights on the clouds. I was seeing that the last week, a lot of lights moving on the clouds (just a way to use the PERMANENT clouds that we got on here) and was like a loot of people calling for Batman or so, looks like gotham city or the city of Akira... The store was cool and posh as well, a lot of macs an ipods to play/test with, also you could use internet for free and there was lectures about using mac and photoshop on there. The shop was quite cool as well. Then we decided to move to leicester square to see if we could watch the movie "the incredibles" (perhaps because regent street christmas decoration influence) an then we were buy two tickets at empire cinema for the incredibles. I never was in that cinema, actually I already been there but in a smaller screen. The incredibles was at Screen 1, and wow! what a BIG cinema! To finish the evening we only had to watch The Incredibles.. I got no enough words to speak about the movie, better piece done by pixar imho! I enjoyed every second of the movie in all the aspects.. :O!
