.NET 4.5 – Visual Studio 2012

So, I got myself a copy of Visual Studio 2012 Pro.  It’s pretty nice, except for the shitty all-caps menus (which you can turn off with the registry hack located here).  I really didn’t have any plans on moving Gorgon v2.x to .NET 4.5/VS2012 until I saw this:

The future.

I recently played around with my own library (see an earlier post about the sun effect) and I found it… well, lacking.  In my day job I do a lot of framework/library code for re-use amongst my co-workers and I’ve learned a great deal over the last few years of doing that professionally.  There’s a [...]

Issue… where’s my tissue?

I became aware of an issue with the FromStream method on the Image object a few days after I posted the new installer.  It’s been corrected and put in the SVN repository. Please note that it is not included in the 1.1.4119.34319 installer, and won’t be until I release a new version.  Sorry about that, [...]

Facebook

So, I’ve started to transition some things over to Facebook.  This may not go over too well for some people, but life is hard, you’ll get used to it. I’ve moved the screen shots over to it, and ported the important parts of the wiki to the notes section. It’s not a replacement for the [...]

Wiki

Ugh.  Fucking spammers.  I’ve removed the ability for anyone to create an account on the wiki due to these asshats.  If you absolutely need to create/update a wiki page and need an account, contact me on the forums.

Spam bots

I’ve noticed a significant increase in spam bot registrations over the last few days. I’ve purged the accounts that I believe are bots, and added another step to the user registration to weed these bastards out. If your account has been removed, and you’re a legitimate user, post a comment on this post and I’ll [...]

How to annoy me.

Just a quick notice.  I think it’s great when I get questions about Gorgon.  And I do my very best to answer what I can as accurately as I can. However.   I do NOT want questions about how to use libraries created by other groups/people.  I have no problems explaining Gorgon’s inner workings for [...]

Hate. VB. Hate. Database.

Work is overrated, I don’t recommend it. I disabled comments because I’m just getting pummeled by spammers and no legitimate comments.  So I say fuck it and fuck you spamming cocksuckers. If you have an urgent need to discuss Gorgon or whatnot please use the forums.

Intel needs to STOP making video cards.

Because they’re TERRIBLE at it.  Yesterday I got a bug report about Gorgon displaying nothing but corrupted garbage on an Intel 945 Express chipset.  Of couse my alarm bells when off when I read the word “Intel” and I immediately set out to find someone else to confirm this.  Of course, finding someone with these [...]

Quicktime is a whore

Quicktime is garbage.  It’s ugly, slow and useless.  But more than that, it hijacks some file associates and MIME settings. Tonight I spent about 2 hours trying to make Quicktime let go of the PNG MIME association.  Why?  Because every time I opened a PNG in IE7, the fucking thing would launch quicktime and use [...]

Blogs are for idiots.

And thus why I did this.  Plus I’m wanting to move away from my gamedev journal, it’s… yeah, it’s just fucking bad. So from here on, all Gorgon related announcements will appear here and my rants, which are just fucking awesome, will appear here as well.  Any future projects will have announcements here as well. [...]
