Excited to announce Iβm launching my new blog, βCD-ROM Journalβ! Iβm going to be writing about weird, interesting games and multimedia art. Iβve got a couple of posts Iβm really proud of to launch with! I hope you enjoy and find it interesting.
First up is a post on Daizaburo Haradaβs βAL: Artificial Life (Insects)β, a wildly experimental cross-media project covering a CG art book, a novel, and a game. I go deep into its inspirations and every part of the project.
(There is a Linux kernel module for tweaking LED patterns on the Razer Kraken headsets at https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer, and it claims to support the Razer Kraken Kitty, but I don't see it in the driver source code and I'm also wondering if this really needs to be a kernel module)
I have yet to find a place that does (1) and (2) but do let me know if you know of such a location
T-Mobile (maybe others) seem to be doing this thing where they'll provide a name along with a number, but it's the name of the account holder, not who's actually calling you.
So far I've found this to be a great way to find out names of people's spouses, but not really all that useful for telling me who's calling
Seriously, what kind of "sports" do these designers engage in where gravity is evidently an edge case
Pedal assist bikes, or e-bikes, are weird. By weird, I mean that I'm absolutely not used to the extra torque that comes from apparently nowhere when you start pedaling.
(As far as I can tell, in the Divvy e-bikes, there's a DC motor attached to the rear wheel. Both rear- and front-wheel drive seem to be possible according to schematics I've seen on the interwebs.)
Anyway, my friends and I decided that the best thing we could do with this gift of torque was to use the bike as launch assist for skaters, and it works astonishingly well for that
About six months ago, the source code to Mod4Win (a module player for Windows) was made available by its authors: https://github.com/shamblernaut/Mod4Win
There's a lot of module player code already out there, but I remember, as a kid, being fascinated by Mod4Win's interface, which was very unlike any other Windows program I'd used before. (There's an imagemap version of the UI at http://kay-bruns.de/mod4win/mod4win/index.htm.) Almost 30 years later, I can peek into how it was built...
