  • Pidgin Arrives in Fedora

    I thought I’d have to wait for Fedora 7 to experience Pidgin (what gaim got renamed to due to their legal battles with AOL – as I previously blogged), but they provided it for Fedora Core 6. The interface has changed a little. Here are some screenshots showing my first impressions on the differences: The…

  • Fedora 7 is here!

    And it’s called Moonshine. I like the name better than Zod, Fedora Core 6’s name. Here’s the announcement from the Red Hat Mailing List: * From: The Fedora Project * To: fedora-announce-list redhat com * Subject: Announcing Fedora 7 (Moonshine) * Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 03:28:41 -0700 Howdy, cousins! Welcome to our little Fedora…

  • Mario Party 8…

    …is a lot of fun. I love pulverizing (and being pulverized) in the mini games.

  • A hilarious Penny Arcade

    Can be found here. However, there is profanity involved, so don’t go there if that offends you. Otherwise hilarious. That’s all I have to say today, spent my time out of work watching disc 4 of “The Office” and pre-ordering Mario Party 8.

  • Wii Remote Awesomeness

  • Clear Water

    Thanks to the helpful users over at blenderartists.org, I was able to solve the problem of the water turning black upon landing on the table in my fluid simulations. Apparently, I needed to turn on TraShadows (transparent shadows). You may want to save this for your last step because it causes the renders to take…

  • Some of my favorite Wedding Shots

    I was the photographer for a wedding this weekend (that’s the reason behind the lack of any posts recently). Here are some of my favorite shots so far.

  • Latest Demo

    I tried another shot at using the physics engine and here’s my latest work. I rendered this at full HD resolution so it took 2 days and 7 hours to render these 990 frames. Enjoy! Back to Basics – Bullet Physics Engine Dominoes (Part 2) from djotaku on Vimeo

  • Fedora 7 out soon!

    Fedora 7 should be out in 8 days. This time around there isn’t much I’m looking forward to in the new release as they are mostly just laying the groundwork for more changes in future Fedoras. My wish list is better compiz support and just a few newer versions of stuff like Pidgin (formerly Gaim)…

  • Fluid Sim (Part 2)

    Back to Basics – Fluid Simulation (Part 2) from djotaku on Vimeo Copied verbatim from my vimeo page: I tried another fluid simulation. I still have a few things to learn. 1) It appears that inertia caused the water to fly out of the cup – I did move it relatively quickly. How can I…
