I should have made more of my project during my last update, so here goes the blatant-advert for it: My project is a web based time-sheet program running on Linux with Apache and MySQL. Users on the system can enter details of jobs done including cost, duration, date, and customer. Entries can be deleted using a pop-up window generated by Javascript. (The HTML code for the pop-up window is actually generated by the browser, not by the server). The admin can edit users, activities, special charges, passwords and create a report giving details on employee performance. The whole thing is […]

Demo of my project available at the TSN link to the left. Docs are available on the page. Clanlib v0.13 has been released. This is a multi-platform game development library. According to their site, http://clanlib.org the same source code can be used to compile on Win32 and Linux. Check their site for more details. PTC has been released for Linux as you’ve all probably read on slashdot.org already. I searched through comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos for the announcement and here it is: From – Mon Apr 27 20:20:43 1998 From: “Gaffer” Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos,rec.games.programmer,comp.graphics.algorithms Subject: PTC 0.72 released Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 00:11:03 […]

Small update this time. I’d like to write more but there’s too much to do. I updated the projects page with a new version of my openGL demo. It’s probably close to what the final version will be like. The deadline for the assignment is next Friday so final version then. Of course, afterexams in June I’m going to develop it a bit more 🙂 Some of you may be interested to know about my 4th year project. It’s a web based time sheet system where users enter details of jobs done and it generates a report for the admin. […]

Important If, over the past few days you have received an email from xeer@hotmail.com and if you know me and it appears out-of-character for me, or if you don’t know me and receive an abusive email please forward it to me. I logged into my Hotmail account today and found 60 new emails waiting for me from the same sender (diff email addresses though). I also received a mail delivery failure message using my email address as a return address. It had the subject “sucker!”. They are not from me! Looking through the header it would appear that someone is […]

So busy these days.. Perl and Javascript are cool languages to work with and the project is almost finished. If you have a look at the coding link you’ll find a program called vbe-1.0.tar.gz which gives access to the framebuffer of VESA2.0 video cards. I remember someone posting a message on csipd a long time ago saying that all he wants of an OS is access to the frame buffer to code demos in it.. well, this is his chance 😉 Good things are happening in Northern Ireland. I downloaded an intro from TG98, it’s the winning intro with lots […]

Updates on .plan, coding and projects pages. Also new colours, not sure if I like them though.. Click on the following link to read about my attempts to convert people to Linux!(We were bored in the labs, and that camera was too tempting 😉 (content pasted here) So there we were in one of the labs working on the computers. I was showing Kevin my homepage and telling him how great Linux was and how he REALLY should install it. Obvously he was impressed, but he wasn’t sure if he should install it yet. He likes his Windows you see. […]

Voodoo2 is a chipset I’d like to see running Quake2 someday and according to www.bluesnews.com there’s a page at http://pama.it.dtu.dk/Voodoo2/ that has a patch to let Linux glide apps use the Voodoo2! I can’t comment further because the site was down when I tried it tonight. (contacting host…)
