Intel demo, log #5
28.06.2007
Only 4 days left, and a lot of work (specially from my side) to do. Luckily Blackpawn and, his workmate, SYNbiotic have been doing quite a lot of work (code/effects + 3D art) so I will mainly have to do the camera work, syncing and editing.

During the week I don't have much time to work on all this, right now I'm working 9hours a day for a company, and when I go back home I have another freelance work to do, deadline Friday.

So, I can see a non-sleep-long-weekend coming :S!

Seems like there is a new kind of spam :)

If you feel that you girlfriend is about to run away from you to the bloke next door, ugly one, but with a huge weenie!

That's because you haven't ordered our state-of-the-art
penis enlargement pills!

Only our remedy can bring your girlfriend back!

hahaha

Are you sure that your girlfriend is satisfied
with the size of your `little friend`

No?

So, hurry up then, and get our new super pill
as quickly as possible at the reduced price,
before she'll find another guy with a descent willy.


HAHAHA!! Yeah, seems like they finally decided to get a copy writer...

Girls lie when they say "size doesn't matter" that's just to make us feel better, The truth is they want their partner to have a huge one, and they will keep searching until they find it!
Now you can be that big man with the new improved and doctor recommended enlargement pills, click here to get your supply before they sell out! Soros suggested that Druckenmiller double his position. He did.
for some of the most negative
in stocks, especially bank and real estate stocks. By the time the war is rushing to get the appearance over as soon as possible. He makes it in come earner in 1991, at $117

HAHAHAHAhaha... uhm... Well, maybe they didn't...

Pidgin: a good Trillian alternative (aka Adium for Windows)
16.06.2007
There are some things that I don't like about Trillian. GoogleTalk doesn't work with the free version, it keeps crashing and sending files sometimes is hard. I'm aware that Cerulean are working on Trillian Astra, but seems like they're just doing too much, too many things that I won't need (I may be wrong tho). So, now that I had to setup this new machine I looked for a Trillian alternative and there wasn't really a lot of options.

I found a program called Pidgin, which I never heard of before. It turns out that Pidgin is in fact GAIM, but as it's clear to see, the guys behind GAIM have been doing a really good job these days. It's quite similar to MacOS's Adium.



So, if you are also looking for a good alternative, don't look further, the answer at the moment is Pidgin!

(No, they're not paying me for doing this :D)

Intel demo, log #4
15.06.2007
Yesterday I finally received the Windows license for the Intel PC that we were supposed to do the demos in. That means that I can test and work on the demo on the final machine at this point. I couldn't before because we received a Deutsch version of Windows and well, there is no way to change the language on Windows :/
I was testing the machine on a cheap flatscreen I had which had the colours totally broken until now, so, now that I had everything ready I went to the Apple store and I bough a nice 23" screen. It's not the first time that I work in a 1920x1200 environment, in fact, all my Dell laptops used to have that resolution, then, unfortunatelly, I had to move to smallest resolutions with the Macs.

The machine is quite fast, I tried a couple of demos today, rendering at 1920x1200 and they run really well. However, not too many demos allowed that resolution on the config menu and 90% of the demos that allowed that ended up looking quite bad. Demos look cool, well, everything look cool when it's in low resolution. Back in the days of 320x240 it was easy to make something look good (besides the pixelated effect). Nowadays demos look quite ugly because we got used to those small resolutions. In instance, Track one in some scenes look very unpolished at that high resolution.

The only demo I saw that still rocked at 1920x1200 was Debris, mainly because it's all 3D, and ovbiously it's all generated, which means that will look well in any resolution... here you have an snaps... (click on the images)







So, whenever you do another prod, I think you should consider how it will render in super high resolutions in the future. Maybe we should start moving the size limitations for demos a bit, mainly for doing the text/images at 1920 so they don't look bad at that resolution?
