Do tell?

Yahoo Pipes, as well as Google Mashups and MS Popfly are part of that oh so fun line of toys that form part of the mashup scene. Mashups are a trendy way of saying "data collection and repackaging". Its the type of technology used to do silly things like tell Google Maps to plot a hundred points on a map based on two XML feeds and to automatically scour Flickr for all images of destinations listed in the feeds.

Anyway. The feed I put up there takes the RSS feed to the Weekly Awards, Daily Awards and 20 Most Recent Submissions, and compares the name in one of the fields to the list of names you input, and only displays the ones that match. Currently I'm building a bizarre one for my site that rips news articles and journal entries and Twitter and a few other sources to make a ticker news feed

AS3

Am I the only one who does everything in AS3? I prefer it a lot. Might have to write a tutorial or three for you LOOSERS.

Someone give me an incentive to finish my game...

I'll join in this race.

How am I supposed to breath with no AIR?

So... Adobe AIR... fucking... ROCKS!!! I'm using an AIR app for Yammer and it's so freakin' awesome. So much so that I've been considering trying to work with this web developer to develop AIR based shopping carts that clients can browse on their desktop. I'm also thinking about trying to make an actual deployable video game using AIR! I'm excited. I mean, I was excited back when I heard about it, but now that I've actually seen it, not only am I more excited, I'm super motivated right now.

The excitement overtook me, I'm sorry.

does AIR use the graphics card? That's the only thing that would switch me to it.

Otherwise I'll just stick with my plan to switch to c++ w/ openGL

I got it to load a png file today. Spent 4 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working. I did cout on every byte in the loaded data, and it DID have data in it. The width and height loaded fine and there was enough data and when I outputted it in hex it was the colors that were in the png. I looked over all the rendering code and whatnot.

Turns out I forgot to do glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); Smashed my head against the table. Now my head is bleeding and I can see pieces of my brain.

For certain things, it does (like window transparency calculations).

Anyway, AIR is really good. It's not really meant for games though. It's perfect when it comes to application development, especially in the area of widgets that need to access the internet, because ActionScript 3/Flex offer great XML capabilities.

Most of the API stuff is done on the gfx card from my knowledge, rather than dumping it on the CPU. Still not as good as some other stuff, but it's a step in the right direction.

Make sure you eat the brains for yummy goodness.

Knowledge from where? AIR is just a wrapper for Flash and Flash does not use the GPU. In fact you're faster off antialiasing in AS3 than leaving it to the native code.

2008 stats

so I was talking to Tom, and he was talking to me about stats from 08, and I thought it would make good discussion to bring this up. So Meet n' Fuck Leila was the most popular piece for 2008, beating out Metal Gear Awesome 2 ..... its really amazing that that series makes such a killing on the site. I mean do you know how mind boggling that is.. that even Egoraptor wasnt able to compete with the allure of Meet n' Fuck.... i know animators complain and shit but im starting to think that as much as they complain.. they are secretly jerking off to it. or at the very least voting 5...

You read way too much into things. Also, make an engine rather than talking about it so much xD

So it was you running regexp queries bumping up the views of any flash with "meet n fuck" in the title D:

that's assuming you can use regexp with mysql >.> Im suuure you can. Sure.

It's just what i've been told, i've not used air much, so i can't go on my own knowledge.

OMFG

330,000 views?!!??!?!?!

I just saw this now because bmk was lamenting it's existence, but originally I didn't even click into the movie screen because the icon was sprite.......... who tells their friends about a movie like this and who comes back and watches this movie a 2nd time, or a 3rd time, or a 10th time??? I really don't understand why this is so popular, I can't imagine in my head the 14 year old that likes something like that so much they watch it multiple times. And I would think, after years of these mario sprite movies being perfectly identical in their content and graphics, the popularity of them would die, or at least diminish a little bit, but no, they persist.

Since I have no money to spare, I can't buy a copy, but that looks brilliant. I love the style of artwork and your details are absolutely brilliant. The one thing that I have to criticize was that her chin seems to be leaning more to one side than the other.
