Weird occurance with Windows?
Was trying to Install the DirectX SDK, after having isntalled Visual Studio 2015, as part of setting up http://gameplay3d.io/ . But it kept failing, at frist because something was keeping it from writing to a particular file. Apparently Explorer was the culprit for some reason, so of course I ( Read more... ) -
Nice job Youtube.
I'd switched my Youtube account's email address so that it used my Hotmail account, at least a month ago I think. Now, however, when I try to log in, it tells me my username or password is wrong, and fills in my user name as the gmail address I'd removed from the account. I even reset the password to make sure, and the request went through on the ( Read more... ) -
More cellular automota stuff
Well, the probabilistic cellular automota program I linked to earlier is down for an unknown amount of time, and aside from ALPACA, which I can't get to work, I can't find anything else that involves introducing chance to a C/A system in such a way. As well, I can't find anything else at all (aside form ALPACA) that lets you implement a set of CA ( Read more... ) -
Minecraft, Celular Automota, Ect.
Earlier, I was plying single player Minecraft, flooding some valleys and looking at the grass die off, when I thought about how it would be neat if Minecraft had a thing like Conway's Game of Life. Looking at how stuff works in Minecraft, I figured an attempt to make Conway's game of life in it would end up being probabalistic. Looking up ( Read more... ) -
A quick reminder for myself.
In Saurbraten, you can toggle viewing materials in edit mode with the M key. This is paticularly handy when trying to build underwater things, since with materials mode on the selection cursor is a pain to use underwater. And who doesn't like water levels in their video games ( Read more... ) -
Crazy dust things
The way tiny bits of dust and stuff in the air around us all the time, but usualy aren't visible is something I find pretty interesting. A few days ago, I was out on the back porch watching dust fade in and out of view at it passed in fort of the spotlights. Looking at the dust, I've often tried to keep track of a single speck in an attempt to ( Read more... ) -
Computer Things and Things
When I found out a while ago that Geocities was closing tomorrow, I went and checked out my old website I had hosted there. It doesn't have anything that great, with not much interesting and a few broken links here and there. There was even a couple alternate versions of the index page, and a pair of images I know I'd just uploaded for personal ( Read more... ) -
Longer than I thought since my last post.
First off, if anyone reading this plays Spelunky, I've mad a custom level for it called Rescue TimeI haven't practiced driving very often, but I've driven to the dentist, a store that we get pizza at, the place where I get my hair cut, Sheetz, and my dad's house. I also got to drive in the rain last Friday, and in the late evening/night at that ( Read more... ) -
A big post
A short while ago my brother took me to a farmer's market for the first time, which was pretty cool. We didn't stay very long, but we got a pair of soft pretzels and some beef sticks, and saw a few things we might want to get next time. Later, my brother went and got me a crate of homemade root beer, which needs to sit for a week or so before it's ( Read more... ) -
Driving school and such.
I started my driving school lessons this week. They're going very well, and aside form missing a day due to a misunderstanding of the schedule, I've done very well. I've done nicely on the tests so far at least, even getting all but one of them right on the second one despite missing the first half of studying for it. I'm sure I'll be able to get ( Read more... )
