due exams I haven't been able to program for quite some time now. I really find this annoying but the mayor assignment is to be written in VB.NET, a language I really like but which really stops me from using other languages -_-
the assignment is in dutch, but for those who can read it it goes like this (the rest could use google...

Crawler is going to be getting a backend

Icon Leave Comment
Lately I have been going through a rather large push to do three things. Index as much of the web as I can with 1 50mb/s connection, parse the content and make it searchable, and create a nice back-end for these operations. Thus far the project is going quite nicely. I had to move away from a hosting provider and start hosting the crawler from...

Icon Leave Comment
Before we begin, let me point out some benefits of using raid 1 mirroring. First, your mp3 files won't have their meta tags jumbled up and mangled by typical hard drive corruption. Also your movie files won't suddnely stop playing past certain points due to corruption. Umm... your exe files won't randomly give you errors about not...

GraphicsGale Sprite Drawing Tool

Icon 3 Comments
This is a tool you hear lots of game hobbyist mention that helps you animate sprites. For a pixel-drawing application, almost any paint program will do, but this tool in particular helps you animate the sprites better. You can see the animation being played in realtime as you edit each frame allowing you to finish off and perfect the movement.

Check it out:

The good news, some of it works. The bad news, it seems browsers will do things Their Way™ for the time being. Let me know if you find some other way to style the element.
