The black hole…
I was a backer at KickStarter for Broken Sword 5 and I would back a Broken Sword 6 if they even think of that. I like adventures. I recall the first ones I played, like Space Quest. They helped a lot on learning English. I know it is nor perfect, but it helped a lot. […]
The cool things about The Big Bang Theory are maintained: we have Kaley Cuoco (Penny) and Geek Jokes. And things get better. Now, we have Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) and Aarti Mann (Priya). Ok, Mayim Bialik can also be cute, but not as Amy Fowler. News on this season? A few. Leonard breaks with Penny, and […]
Well, to change a little, this time I do not share a picture of Penny, but of this pervert scientist. Let me know where to find one like this. Regarding this series, the main idea is Penny and Leonard being committed in some kind of relationship. Of course that ends mostly at the end of […]
That’s right! I just bought an used Samsung Note 10.1″ tablet and I am loving it. Forget the idea that using your finger is the best approach to usability. Yours hands were not designed to write with your finger. In school you learnt how to use a pen and you used it for long periods […]
Was looking around the Octave language… and requested help about the fact function. Display an amazing and random fact about the world’s greatest hacker. I decided to experiment: Richard Stallman once used GDB to reverse-engineer Windows 7 into a free operating system – able to run on GNU Emacs! And tried again Richard Stallman won […]
Yesterday I decided to try and watch a series episode on my Eee ASUS Transformer (TF101). First, notice that I rooted it, and it is running CyanogenMod, with Android version 4.1.2. The episode was stored on a SD card. It is not a fast SD card (class 4), but should suffice. The file was encoded […]
After buying the Samsung Galaxy S3, I installed FlipBoard. The idea is pretty cool, but I am having some trouble using it. First, it crashes from time to time. I couldn’t find out when/why does it crash, but it seems that it is related to the way it checks for new news, and some extra […]
In the last two days I engaged in developing Reversi, just to learn how the minimax algorithm works. To make it easier to share, and remove GUI toolkit dependencies, my approach was using HTML (a simple page with a 8×8 table), three images (empty cell, black or white cells), a CSS file that fills empty […]
Not only children like Lego. I love them. I usually buy Technic, but I like most themes, like City or Creator. This Christmas I found this box being sold at Lidl at a good price, and couldn’t resit buying it. These Creator sets are interesting, as they include instructions for three models. This one also […]
Hugin is the only free alternative to AutoPano Giga/Pro that I have found. In these cases the number of photos is smaller (and mostly horizontal). This tool is not as good as AutoPano in guessing the position of photos, but does a good overall job.
