Last UpdateMy Comics Page has at long last received an overhaul. I've uploaded the third batch of the hundred+ comics I drew in high school. If you're curious, help yourself. You can also see a collection of Photo Galleries I recently uploaded.
For your convenience, my Amazingly Stupid Stuff has been divided into 2 convenient categories... the artsy stuff (writing, photography, cartooning) and nerdy stuff (programming, anime, etc). Of course, there's a fair amount of overlap between the 2, but I hope you'll forgive me. Finally, if you're looking for my blog, it isn't here.
Jubei is a simple multi-emulator front-end I wrote in Gtk-Perl. I use it to manage MAME, Snes9x and Dgen ROMS, but it is extremely flexible so you could easily use it to manage any game you wanted. I intend to eventually use it to power the arcade cabinet that I have been slowly building from scratch. Use at your own risk.
Linux What? You haven't heard of Linux? It's an operating system created by Linus Torvalds, and a band of hacks scattered accross the globe. You can check out My Linux Page if you want some more information, or My Stuff if you are looking for code that I've slapped together over the years. This includes the home of the amazingly outdated ascd, asmixer, asmodem & ascdc (a series of Afterstep and then WindowMaker docklets) as well as some screenshots and configs for some of my Afterstep and Enlightenment desktops.
Slashdot
I guess I should
just fess up and take the blame- I created
Slashdot a long time ago,
and now it seems to have grown into something pretty amazing.
Come on down and check it out for news about Linux,
Open Source Software, Legos, Games, Star Wars, Science,
Technology and pretty much anything else that falls into
the "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters" umbrella.
Java Invaders if you came looking for Invaders, then tough beans. Sun asked me to change the name because it contained their highly protected top-secret, we'd tell you, but then we'd have to kill you word: Java. They own Java now. Look out StarBucks. Too bad- it used to be a cute Space Invaders Clone. I was always sorta worried Atari would bitch- who knew Sun would.
Raytracer
I wrote a cheesy raytracer for a
Graphics class back when I was still
a part of that whole college education thing. I have here a few
of those stereotypical chrome-sphere-rendered-over-checkerboards
online to prove that I once actually did some math.
Random Tidbits Rob's Amazing Hex Triplet O Matic helps idiots like me to get hex codes for background colors- course, which in 1996 was actually helpful. Rob's Amazing Movie Generator will generate a plot synopsis for blockbuster guaranteed movies. Rob's Amazing Poem Generator which will write poetry for you, seeded by either a web page, or by /usr/bin/fortune. It's the easy way to cheat on your literature homework.
AnimeFu
has been an entertaining side project for fellow BlockStacker, Kurt The Pope and I. The site is a fun
little site for Anime lovers, based on the Everything 2 engine. Its still
under development, but its getting quite nice. Feel free to join up,
and read and write reviews for your favorite Anime titles.
Duckpins Behold my first feeble attempt at the world of Computer Animation in the form of Duckpins. Created during Jan-Feb of 96, I wrote, produced, directed animated edited and catered a 60 second CGI short. Download. Watch. Laugh (please?).
Hamster Havoc Following up a smash hit like Duckpins is no easy task, but I'm the only person obsessive enough to try. During the summer of 96, Rob Malda Films brought Hamster Havoc to to net. You can see exciting stills or even download the whole dang clip. It's the story of a boy, a hamster, and- awh nevermind. Who am I kidding? It barely has a plot. Download it- I think its funny.
"Literature?" Only in the loosest sense of the term... those who consider me a writer are probably legally blind. Regardless, here are several short little things I've written over the years... Perhaps they will amuse you. Nerds, Unix, and Virtual Parenting. An essy about my Obsession with Juice. Here are my comments on one of those Penis Enlargment Products that actually mailed physical mail to be my mailbox. Kurt arrived at the Solution to all Traffic Problems. Next is a short story about Diablo 2 entitled Level 84 Barb Kills Again. Lastly is my report on the Rascist Mr Potato Head Statue. These days most of my literary ramblings end up at my Slashdot Journal.
Cartoons I've scanned in and posted a small collection of Cartoons that I drew during high
school. It's a desperate attempt to convince myself that I'm more than
a Code Jockey- underneath this pocket protector clad exterior beats the
heart of starving artist. Anyway, you can view these various works of
mediocrity that I am so ashamed of, that I've placed them here for
public ridicule.
Photography. In 1997 I took a photography class. After 7 years, I got my hands on a film scanner and brought the negatives into the digital realm. If you are interested, you may partake in the glory of my education wasted. The archive includes a few dozen of my favorites including sequences from the one and only time fired a gun, pictures of my 1997 neighborhood, the mess that we lived in known as Geek House 2, and of course many pictures of houseguests and roomies from that fine establishment.
Finally...
If you're really bored, you can read more than you ever could want to know About Me.
