Space Station 13 and VLC – Together At Last

October 27, 2014 Development N3X15 0

A while ago, I wrote a simple media distribution system for use in Space Station 13, based on a very old and broken system by D2K5, designed to play remote media for all players in an area. The idea was to have player-interactable jukeboxes and radio stations. Most popular SS13 servers now use this system, and players have become familiar with muzak floating through the hallways while breaking open their friends’ heads with toolboxes. – MORE

Whistle While You (Look For) Work

October 9, 2014 Personal N3X15 0

At the moment, my life is in a weird limbo.

The suddenness of getting hired in the middle of my last year of college had thrown a lot of things into whack, and it took me several months to wind down after getting put back on the market. I still wake up in cold sweats, having experienced a plethora of weird dreams involving a collision of interests between college and work (such as a major release and a final exam on the same day). – MORE

More Blog Work

October 8, 2014 Uncategorized N3X15 0

I’m going to be working on the blog over the next few days, mostly working on trying to make my resume more prevalent and making the site itself less funky looking. The theme’s great overall, but it has some derpiness, mostly with the front page layout and how thumbnails are handled.

Also, let me know if you’d like to see something on the site. – MORE

Fun and Adventure with Ruby, Redmine, and Lighty

October 8, 2014 Server Stuff, Tutorials N3X15 0

For those who don’t know me all that well, I’m a lighttpd fan. I use it for serving web data from all sorts of systems: PHP, HHVM, Python, and even Lua have run on my servers, and all through lighttpd. However, there’s always been one big outlier who just doesn’t get along with everything else, and that has been Ruby. – MORE

HHVM on Lighttpd – Walk in the Park

September 7, 2014 Server Stuff, Tutorials N3X15 0

Just switched this server (dedi.nexisonline.net) to HHVM, a recode of PHP by Facebook. The process went smoother than expected, although I switched the ChanMan/testing server to HHVM a while ago, and therefore had some prior experience.

Unfortunately, HHVM has rather piss-poor documentation on how to get it running on Lighttpd, which is fairly odd, considering they have docs for Apache and nginx. – MORE

September 5, 2014 OpenBYOND, Personal N3X15 0

Eyesight is still recovering from my migraine cluster, but managed to get some banners and theming done for this. I didn’t want to do anything too fancy, but this green is killing my eyes, so I might end up screwing around in the CSS.

Going to try and get some parser work done tomorrow for OpenBYOND. Shouldn’t be too difficult, as the older C++ project still has some Flex rules I can cannibalize. – MORE

Oh god a blog

September 5, 2014 Personal N3X15 0

I realize I haven’t had a portfolio for a long time. I’ve been meaning to get to it, but with all of my other projects going on, on top of some particularly hellish ocular migraines, my release has kind of been put on hold.

So, without further adieu, my partial portfolio is now live. I hope to have some decent pictures up soon, and a better design once I feel artsy. – MORE
