Fedcon 2011 – Day 5

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
Monday 02.05.2011

I woke up around 10, ate breakfast (sliced bread + German nutella for the win). Packed my crap and checked out. I didn’t have the tickets back home, but I checked in online and sent the pdf file to the hotel receptionist which printed the tickets. I liked staying at the Avidon, which is a really nice hotel, but it was a 20 minute walk from the convention which was a bit bothersome. Also I didn’t find the droids I was looking for :(
After getting my tickets I spent about an hour or so, using the wi-fi to write up this blog post in Google docs (but knowing myself it will probably take weeks until I managed to put it on my blog), chat online, read news (apparently someone got a critical hit on Osama Bin laden, and he failed his saving throw).
Apparently they buried Osama at sea, and if homeopathy is true, I guess this means all the seawater on earth in a while will be medicine that cures terrorism! way to go guys!
Took some pictures of the half-life black mesa train skytrain and some airplanes at the airport before getting on my flight home.

I’ll upload many more pictures from the convention soon, so many cool costumes this year. Just have to get them organized in picasa before uploading them

Double Rainbow Illusion

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Richard Wiseman just put up a rainbow illusion on his blog, the only problem with it: It wasn’t double :/

I added a second rainbow, and it works great.. Also there is an added effect (for me at least) where the outer rainbow appear to shake after staring at the dot for about 15 seconds.

Wiseman is a psychologist, and if you like illusions and other psychological optical effects, you should definitely follow his blog http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/ and on twitter: @RichardWiseman

Update:

I just copied the colors of the original rainbow, but of course for each new layer of rainbows, the new layer has the color ordering reversed. (thanks to Pepijn for pointing out my mistake)

Trekwar sensor system

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I haven’t had much time working on Trekwar lately, but I’ve recently made a prototype of the sensor system:

I’ll have to add this, as well as fog of war when I’m done with the fleet management tools which are almost ready.

Blog Action Day

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

What would happen if every blog published posts discussing the same issue, on the same day?

I signed up for blog action day, and I’ve decided to donate the 1000 kr (177$) I get from working October 15th, to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. I also wanted to donate to the Ferrets First animal shelter, but I’ve donated some to them before, and will probably donate a few hundred dollars for Christmas anyway.

Blog Action Day

Join the Blog action day, and post on your blog about environmentalism on October 15th. I also encourage everyone to donate the days earning to a charitable cause :)
