Things

Hmmm… here is something interesting. I wonder if many scripts about great computer programmers will be submitted…

In totally non-Jujusoft related news, Xbox is amazing! I was totally blown away by the hyper-realism of Wreckless, with sequences and shots that look totally prerendered. It seems a bit of shadow buffering and glow effects can create a realism that’s almost tangible. Omazing! Incredible! Rallisport Challenge looked very nice as well, in a surreal almost painterly way. Go read reviews about these products and then buy them!

Added some lovely cute funtionality to JujuTool today, at Richard’s suggestion. JujuTool will now render text to a bitmap using a command line. What the hell for? Why lots of things! I use it to display the date and time in giant bold letters on my desktop, and Richard will use it to keep track of IP addresses and machine names (he has to deal with networks quite a bit). It’s like active desktop (does anyone use that?), only it’s in-active!

Hey, I worked out what the deal was with cookies going wrong! I didn’t realize that not only are they site specific but by default they are folder specific! (How clever of me to finally RTFM). So now cute tricks like the following can store settings across a whole site, which means that you could easily set up a user-control panel for customizing the pages based on a user’s preferences.
