Happy new year everyone!
Here is a neat little animation, made by 300,000 candles.

After seeing a cool demo from the ClockMaker blog, I was inspired to try and recreate the effect. My attempt is not very impressive, but I did manage to figure out how he did it. Although much of this is from his sourcecode, I just thought I’d post a simplified version and put little comments and stuff.
And oh, Merry Christmas to all!

My PC died earlier this week. It took with it all my files and experiments, but no worries, I have uploaded some of them here and I already learned from all of them. I also don’t have the latest files for my website now (which is getting cold), so I guess I should just start a new one. But, the worst part is, I only have a Mac to work on now, which doesn’t have FlashDevelop
. I either have to try to work on FlexBuilder or just be idle for a few days (or weeks!) until I fix my PC or maybe get a new one *sigh*.
This must be the coolest thing I have seen. An R2-D2 projector with iPod dock, next-gen console connectivity, CD/DVD player, and a whole lot more. It comes with a Millennium Falcon remote control, and it is fully mobile. I WANT! But it costs $2,995. *sigh*
Check out the video and prepare to wipe your drool off your keyboard.
Got the new blog up and running now, with code highlighting, plugins and a new theme.
So, now that I have my own host, I’ll get to building my site now.
Just bought a new host. I’ll be transferring this blog there.
http://www.mindfock.com -> nothing there yet.
http://www.blog.mindfock.com -> the blog.
I’ll still be posting here for a few days or weeks while I get the new location going. I am pretty new to all this.
I hope everything goes smoothly.
