Yo Frankie!
Monday, 18 May 2009

 

If you have never heard of Blender 3D you may want to consider it if you're looking to create 3-D content at a reasonable price, FREE! It has the power of Maya and the likes, packed full of physics, hair, cloth, and Z-Brush like sculpting features. If you are not convinced that a free open source product can equal that of the high cost industry tools, than let the content prove it. As for the proof, the latest in these open projects to show off the power of Blender 3D and open tools is a new 3-D game based off the open Blender movie "Big Buck Bunny" also created using Blender.

Wubi (K)Ubuntu Installer
Tuesday, 05 May 2009
This blew me away, a Windows installer and uninstaller for Linux! Back in the day BeOS could be installed and ran right from Windows, but LiveCD took over the need allowing users to try before committing a foriegn OS to hard disk. But, what about people that are willing to install, but are concerned about their Windows installation and never click the Install icon in the LiveCD? Problem solved, Ubuntu or Kubuntu Linux now has an installer called Wubi.

Collect Scheduled Task Info With Python
Saturday, 28 March 2009

If you ever needed to see if a Window's scheduled task failed for reporting purposes like I do then read on... I wrote this script because some weekends we get failed tasks, still tracking that down, and I want to see them all quickly and easily when I get into the office. I may actually write a script to rerun the tasks that fail at some point. Currently I simply report these in a web page, but you can just as easily send an e-mail, add it to a log or reporting application. You can also schedule tasks by adding the switches to do so without much work and it will collect this inforamtion off remote servers/workstations. 

By the time I get this script finished and polished it should prove to be a great resource and I hope someone can make use of this example. Have fun!

Boxee
Friday, 20 March 2009
Awhile ago I posted about media center software and not much has changed, but one application I have decided to stick with is one I hadn't mentioned, Boxee. Boxee is built off of XBMC a media center originally built for the XBox, which now includes Linux, OS X, and Windows versions as well. It's a nice piece of software as is and open source.

CSS 100% height on div + floating sticky footer
Friday, 20 February 2009

I was making a template and decided to go with DIVs rather than tables. Everything was fine, but I couldn't get 100% height and also had issues with the footer. I noticed a lot of people having this same issue, but all the "fixes" and examples I found sucked. Here is how I got around the issue. Tested in IE 7/8 and Firefox 3
