  • Step Seq

    Recently I discovered a ‘game’ on Kongregate called Step Seq. Apparently there are electronic devices that look exactly like this simulation. Their point is to create music on a time and frequency grid. I’ve been playing around with this one, seen at http://www.kongregate.com/games/quickfingerz/step-seq. The fun of this is that I’ve also been video-recording a few of […]

  • New Videos and Subscription

    Greetings, all! It’s been a while since I did any animation. My attention has been more on live videography of various things including game and oscilloscope capturing. However, just today I put together something like four new animations, plus one overdubbed video of myself whistling three parts to a song. Vain me, eh? Anyhow, here […]

  • Youtube in 3D

    Oh cool! I found that in TestTube (the Youtube labs), there is a feature to make a stereoscopic 3d video out of two videos on your channel! So I quick opened up 3dsmax, did a rotation around the classic teapot (which had a bit of texturing), and rendered two cameras side by side. Left:

  • Step Seq

    A few days ago I discovered an amazing music program hosted on the game site Kongregate. Apparently the creator, the guy who runs QuickFingers.net is in some sort of contest for a LOT of money to see who can make the coolest music game on that site. Well, his was on top when I checked a few days […]

  • Textpad Document Classes

    Textpad is my preferred text editor. It is super-simple, but has a few advanced features that really make writing source code for various things so much nicer. Besides that it has coloring for various document classes. Document classes are basically groups file extensions whose properties can be changed for each group. Example: you can completely […]

  • Preventing Constant Reboots on a Network

    For some weird reason, I found that my router (Netgear WNR3500L) (or my connection) was giving me problems…every so often it my LAN connection would completely reset and require me to reboot the computer, just to get the webserver back online (it would become completely unreachable via No-IP DNS -and- the external IP address..some 5xx […]

  • Filehost

    I’ve created an Apache-based filehost. This is generally for short-term downloads that I want to make available to certain people. Really, I don’t expect to leave files in this folder up for very long, but only long enough for people to download. How many ways can I say this? Anyway, you’ll find the filehost at http://ppsstudios.myftp.org. […]

  • Faster Internet is (at least for now) better

    We’ve just gone live with our newly activated ADSL connection. As of 5:00 this evening, I was able to plug in the aforementioned modem that we bought on Friday and successfully connect to first Qwest’s initial login page, then, well, everywhere else! Of course, everybody’s test to see if they’re connected is Google. Well, not […]

  • My Router-Modem Setup

    Here’s what I’ve figured out with my router/modem setup. The router has two sets of plugs in it. One set is the regular ethernet ports to hook in single computers to. However, there is a single yellow port known as the WAN or Internet port. What really is the difference here? I’ve figured it out. […]

  • DSL and Networking

    I’ve always hated self-help books you find at B&N or the library on how to set up your own home network. In short, they always would assume that you had high-speed internet coming into your house and that you could create a standard configuration. However, up until about 30 minutes ago, we were using dialup […]
