NVScene 2008

August 30th, 2008

So earlier this week, NVidia hosted a big convention called NVision, part of which was NVScene, a demoparty.

So, here’s a small taste of what was released there. The top 3 for each category at the party. Remember, normally these demos are generated in real time, and etc etc, just captured here for those without a powerful PC/don’t feel like downloading the binaries.

4kb - 1st

4kb - 2nd

4kb - 3rd

Demo - 1st

Demo - 2nd

Demo - 3rd

There’s actually two winners for 3rd:

Sadly, my Capped.TV Kiosk wasn’t used, but you can download and see it on Pouet.net

NVScene & Capped.TV

August 23rd, 2008

Kiosk screenshot

Capped.TV Kiosk. If you’re headed to NVScene or NVision, stop by the demoscene hall and check it out.

And that’s my work of the month. ;)

Edit: Yes that’s my only bit to NVScene; was unable to get a demo together after working the past few weeks on the kiosk. I’m sure no one wants to see Rob is Jarig encapsulated in a time-delay fake prod anyway… [Hey, will someone release a 4k version of it already? ;)]

IIS + PHP 404 hack for Wordpress

July 30th, 2008

Finally decided to fix and re-release this little code snippet.

You can have fancy urls for wordpress in IIS without any need for a url rewriter. Then again, this is really the only way I know to do fancy urls in IIS..

Anyway, simply take this code:

<?php
//404 hack
//by the mickelphin

//Get the end of the url
$urlstub = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strrpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],”:80/”)+4);
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $urlstub;
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $urlstub;

//Attempts to repair corrupted get data, iis bug
foreach ($_GET as $id => $data) {
$_GET[substr($id, strpos($id,"?")===false?0:strpos($id,"?")+1)] = $data;
}

require “index.php”;

?>

And insert it in a file called 404.php in your blog directory.

Then open up IIS’s config and move to your blog directory. Open up properties for that, and go to the Custom Errors tab. Click on the first 404 entry [and only the first], press edit, change it to url, and put in ‘ /[your blog directory, if any]/404.php ‘.

Ok on out. In wordpress, change your permalink style to exclude index.php. ie simply: ‘ /%year%/%postname%/ ‘ or whatever.

And have fun. I’m using it now.

If you have any issues, feel free to leave a comment.

Amiga Demos

July 17th, 2008

Let’s go back a bit shall we? Back to when I randomly posted Demoscene Demos on here.

Here’s a few demos by The Black Lotus, done for Amigas. Of course, the amiga they were using is fairly well modified with extra ram and etc, but meh.

Captured in WinUAE, so both have a fairly high framerate then on the real machine.

This one was ported to Atari Falcon. Here it is running on the machine [once again, fairly well modified]
