Permalinks
Finally went through what I needed to do to get the permalinks working on my blog! Now you can have nice URLs for my post which are easier to remember than before. They’ve gone from: Giving Nick some Backbone! To: Giving Nick some Backbone! to give an example from my last post.

Giving Nick some Backbone!
I’ve used and created a few rigs now for my different animated shorts and test animations and I’ve had my share of frustrations with the process. First off, it can be quite tedious to create even a mediocre one. Second, it’s hard to create a good one; forget about how hard it is to create…

Top of the Line IRC Clients
Read the latest Linux Format Magazine and I was delighted to find out that the two IRC clients I use were each awarded a 9/10 in their IRC client roundup. When I’m in KDE I use Konversation and in Gnome I use gnome-xchat (although it was vanilla xchat that got the 9/10). Both were praised…

The Method Appears to be Correct
Looks as though my method of figuring out which Congressmen are gay is correct. Just look to see who is working the hardest to restrict gay rights. For example, Senator Larry Craig. He pleaded guilty to basically trying to solicit sex in a men’s bathroom. He’s now claiming that he wasn’t guilty and he plead…

I can’t freakin’ believe it!!
Alberto Gonzalez has resigned as Attorney General. The guy who Bush said wasn’t going anywhere is leaving! I haven’t been able to to catch the news at all today as I was in training, but I saw a little headline on Tv in the lunchroom! I am so curious to find out what caused this…

Hear your IP Address Moaned to You?
WTF is this world coming to? From the digg “horny nerd” files, comes this website: http://www.moanmyip.com/. Interesting things I learned on this site are how web servers and websites see me. Here’s what it says it thinks it knows about me: YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM AND BROWSER Linux / Safari YOUR USER AGENT INFORMATION Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;…

This Penny Arcade comic sums it up perfectly.

Being a little more Cinematically Correct, or How to use Depth of Field in Blender
In the world of computer generated cartoons and images, we have a very awesome trick we can do which cannot be done in real life. We can have unlimited Depth of Field. If you aren’t a photographer or involved in filming, you probably have no idea what that means. Well, in real life lenses cannot…

mytoons.com is pretty awesome!
What makes mytoons.com so awesome is the fact that they truly do care about their users. Due to what I wrote about my experiences with my “Shrodinger’s Cat” video on their site, I’ve had their lead web support guy email me and we’re actively working on the problem right now. That and getting the comment…

Nick’s Hair is a saner color
Here I spoke about how a problem had caused Nick’s hair to look blue. I was using some transparency effects on the hair to let it fade away like real hair. (I was following the hair tutorial in “Introducing Character Animation with Blender”) However, I am using ray tracing for transparency to have good looking…

KDE is back!
On my system, running Fedora 7 and Compiz causes the computer to refuse to exit Gnome. I always have to go into a terminal and shut the computer down that way and it’s extremely annoying. So I’ve decided to run KDE as my default desktop instead of Gnome. We’ll see if I can rekindle the…

Terror Alert
I came across the follwing European Threat information the other day but have been unable to validate its status. Anyone else seen these and can verify? The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”. Soon, though, security levels may be raised…

mytoons.com annoyances
1) It does not seem to support HD aspect ratio (widescreen) videos while Vimeo does. 2) “Shrodinger’s Cat” is not any higher quality than on Vimeo. So far there aren’t too many views, but there hasn’t been a lot of time for people to see my videos just yet.
