Fixing Inkball to work on Windows 10
NB: Following my advice is a breach of the EULA one accepts when they install Windows, so it is assumed that you understand this before reading any further. A while ago, I re-discovered the Inkball game, which I found bundled with an early release of Windows Vista, namely, the Ultimate version. After trying it on […]

3D Renderings of a Planter Box
I’ve tested out rendering a planter box with Blender. The box was modelled myself. As you can see in the rendered images below, I tried different lighting and different environments to get a desired look. This is subjective, and can take some time. When I rendered the last ones, the first three, I preferred them […]

In this article, I argue that you can re-use existing API’s to provide a web browser runtime instead of bundling one with each application you ship. We can now see […]

Calculating a real-number FFT with FFTW3
In this article I’m going to explain how to calculate a real-number based FFT using FFTW, providing the source code. First, though, I will introduce some important concepts. Then I will provide code with comments within it. I will also provide a header containing sample data from a single channel sound file whose frames have […]

Re-doing my website: How I Did It, and What Happened, and What Next
Out with the old, in with the new. My old website, that used a Python CMS and ran on Apache on an older version of Debian, is out, and has been replaced with WordPress and Docker containers running on a newer version of Debian 10. Boy, that was a process; deploying Docker containers in production […]
