This has pretty much been a far-fetched concept that I have been wanting to see done with flash for a long time.

In AS2, it is pretty much not even worth trying, But this beautiful flash 3D demo by John Grden demonstrates the potential for the future of 3D and Flash.

This certainly opens the door for several oncoming ideas, 2007 will be an interesting time for flash. can’t wait to see more!

Update: Check out this SWEET Bumpmapping demo made with papervision3d.

Well, after recent events on here I went ahead and upgraded the blog to wordpress 2.1.

Everything looks great so far, no complaints. But I surely would appreciate a wide range of features that don’t exist in it yet. But thats alright.

I’m impressed on how much better the admin handles. Everything seems to run faster and more smooth, very cool!

Well, this morning I checked out my site while looking for some old info I had saved here, and I noticed that my usual index of this site was set to a blank page displaying “haha you got owned”.

I immediately checked my database, which was also wiped clean. I wasn’t too concerned at this point because I had backed up everything just a week ago.

I wont detail my suspicions on how this occurred, for security purposes. But I have fixed the security hole and have retrieved the last IP that was able to successfully view my web page, and it was not mine. It was probably some silly script kiddies. Doesn’t hurt me much.

Backups, for the win!

So last month I built my dream machine.

I have been planning to do this for roughly 2 years now. So I finally saved up and took the leap.

Here are the specs:

• Case: Silverstone TJ09
• Motherboard: Intel Bad Axe 2 (LOVE this!!)
• CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache
• Hard Disks: 4 X 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache, result: I set 2 to a RAID1 configuration for a default backup of OS installation. 2 Additional drives set up standardly.

  Update: I actually ended up reconfiguring my RAID to a RAID10 configuration (2 stripe + 2 mirror). The results are outstanding.

• Total available disk space: 750GB 500GB
• Fans: CPU: VIGOR GAMING CLT-M2I 92mm, 2 top dial-controlled 120mm fans, 1 front intake 120mm fan, 1 rear exhaust 120mm fan.
• Video Card: ATI Radeon X1950XTX 512MB (not multi-gpu, I dont see how a performance increase would be possible!!)
• Sound Card: XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro (I know my motherboard is a better sound unit, not to mention it has 8.1 channel audio, I just wanted something separate from on-board)
• TV Tuner Card: ATI All-in-Wonder 650
• PSU: ThermalTake 700W

Those are really all that are worth mentioning, I am using my old dvdrw & floppy drives, nothing special about them.

Now, here is some pics of my rig! I should also mention; I just realized I am not great at taking photos! That or for the life of me I can not seem to fix the horrible common blur problem I am having with my camera. Anyway, enjoy!

Well, I’ve not posted much lately, but I really want to get back to it.

I was forced to tend to this blog because the amount of comments on one of my post’s has become really large, well large enough to make the page take a while to load, so I added this very nifty WP plugin called Paged Comments. I highly suggest this, very very handy.

I have been messing around here and there with Flex/AS3 and FisixEngine. But not nearly as much as I would like. I had a brother that passed away in October, and so I haven’t been very social, and haven’t been posted enough!

I promise to start posting more!! Honest!!
