Guinness – my NSLU2 server.
Guinness the NSLU2
I finally got round to setting up my NSLU2 box which is now sitting behind my TV. It is running Unslung 6.8 beta and I have connected to it a 500GB WD Passport drive that I got for about £50 at the Gadget Show Live a couple of years back.
I hope to use this as a SVN server and of course as its intended use - as a NAS box to hold videos. I am sure there are 100 other uses for it but that is my lot for now.
SpaceDebris v1.2
So this morning I was bored and I decided to make a couple of fixes to my Android app "SpaceDebris" (Link). Fairly simple idea, clear the area of Asteroids as quick as possible avoiding the Satellites.
I made this app as a pure adventure into how getting something onto the Marketplace worked also how to write a game on Android. To date without any advertising it managed to be downloaded 410 times although there are only 39 active installs of it now. Still 39 people who I've never met before in my life have my software installed on their phone. That is pretty cool.
This guy might be appearing in a future game 
So with that I am making another game as my winter project. I am currently working on the graphics at the moment and nailing down exactly the mechanics of the game but overall I think I am onto a much more interesting game and fun game.
Blender Renders (Hand)
This is my first hand ever. I based it on my own hand and modelled it in Blender. Still working out the kinks and I plan on using it in a competition I am thinking of entering. It has taken me about 2 hours to get it to this point but there is still much more to do.
As I said I am planning on entering a Blender Guru competition (URL: http://www.blenderguru.com/new-competition-the-future ) so I hope to do a lot more work on this hand and make it proportional and more ... eh handy looking.
I have to say thus far I am quite happy with the results given this is my first ever body part... yes Ok the index finger looks a little like a penis but it could be worse!

So,
Another blog. I always see other peoples blogs. Think "I should really do one" and then don't.
