No thinking no erasing 10 min. max – just free flow drawing whatever hits your mind, the key is not stoping but just drawing whatever – even if it makes no sense

Good music helps too, I just discoverd Two Door Cinema Club and was listening to it while drawing – good stuff if positive energetic music is your thing

Random Doodle August 2011

So after watching Suckerpunch (which featured a pretty cool cover version of where is my mind) and currently reading Fight Club I got inspired todo yet another fight club based artwork.

Btw. Images with mirrors are a pain in the ass to draw (I did fuck up concerning some perspective issues but whatever )

Also the image has an original resolution of 6299×5466 so I had to seriously crunch it down to even be able to upload it

Fight Club - Where is my mind?

So after watching Donnie Darko (yet-again) yesterday I got inspired to do some Darko related doodling.

I couldn't be bothered to ink it so live with it

Love or Fear? Which path do you choose?

I got inspired todo some wacom sketching again and wanted todo something olboy related in a Frank Miller inspired style – I got a little wild in the end and wandered of the Frank Miller style, apart from that I am not completely happy with how it turned out  but it's ok I guess, I'll definitely do something oldboy related again tho

Just want to make sure this doesn't get lost. Thanks Tim!

PhoneGap and Netbeans

We've recently been looking at writing apps for phones (it's tough to resist a bandwagon), and we found PhoneGap. It's a framework that lets you write apps for most of the big phone platforms (iPhone, Android, Blackberry etc) in nothing but HTML and JavaScript, and still get at things like the camera. I haven't got far enough with it to really judge it yet because it's made to be used in Eclipse, when I actually really wanted to code in NetBeans, and setting that up is a right hassle. After doing that, I figured the internet might want this answer too.

If you're writing phonegap stuff it's generally easiest to make separate projects for each platform, write the one platform and then pass out the HTML/JS to the others, and write each native bit separately. With this in mind the following instructions are for setting up a Android project, but I imagine it's not too difficult to work out the iPhone steps. At least, I hope so, I'm going to have to do it at some point.

Download and set up the Android SDK. Instructions are all on that page, you can ignore the Eclipse stuff, you need to do the platform stuff.
Download phonegap (I'm using 0.8) and extract it.
Build phonegap. This didn't work for me, so I followed the instructions here. Essentially there are a few typos, and you need to put two semicolons in the right places.
Copy the [phonegap dir]/lib/android/phonegap.js (or min.js, or both) to [phonegap dir]/android/assets/www.
Install nbandroid, a NetBeans plugin for android projects.
By this point you've got all the bits you need to get everything working, and it's just a matter of getting a project made and building in NetBeans. Essentially you make a NetBeans android project, and then splice it together with the [phonegap dir]/android folder:

Make a new android project somewhere, through NetBeans.
Copy the res folder from phonegap/android over the res folder NetBeans just made, and build the NetBeans project. This should create a new R.java
Copy the phonegap/android/src folder over the src folder NetBeans made.
Inside NetBeans go to the Projects window -> Source Packages -> com.phonegap.demo, select all the files, right click and go to Refactor -> Move. Move them into the package that the rest of your project is in.
Copy the libs, assets and AndroidManifest.xml from phonegap/android to the NetBeans project.
Add the jar in the libs folder you just copied to the libraries of the NetBeans project.
Run the Android SDK Manager program and make a new Virtual Device.
At this point the project should build, and running it should start an emulator up, and eventually try and run the demo program. Unfortunately, the demo program will only come up with '…index.html file not found', or similar, because NetBeans doesn't correctly tell the Android SDK to get the Assets from the Assets folder you copied and put the in the apk (Android app package). To fix:

In your NetBeans project open nbproject/build-impl.xml and change the line saying '' to ''
Go into nbproject/project.properties and change 'assets.dir=' to 'assets.dir=assets'. En route, add 'assets.available=true'
Enjoy!

Finally received my atmolight stuff by http://atmolight.de/

Awesome, just wanted to quickly post additional stuff to the basic checkout the boblight code, ./configure make, make install steps:

Some of the boblight tools look for libboblight.so in /usr/lib/ however its copied to /usr/local/lib/ by default so to resolve this symlink it:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboblight.so /usr/lib/libboblight.so

Next we need a proper atmolight.conf in /etc/ I used the one provided by carsten for the windows version minus the parameters the latest build complains about.
Don't forget to change the output on your end (its going to be /dev/ttyUSB0 unless you have some other serial USB stuff connected to your mediacenter).

Now start the daemon

sudo boblightd

Next in order to get the light color to match the display you need to run boblight-X11.
I currently run it with the following parameters which appears to look good to me

boblight-X11 -o saturation=2.5 -o value=10 -o threshold=20 -o use=1 -o interpolation=1 -o autospeed=1

If you want more intense colors tweak the saturation value to your desire.

If you experience random blinking/flashing of the rgb stripes and use an nvidia card make sure to disable flipping @ the nvidia-settings

I only spent an hour setting everything up and getting it working since its friday and I obviously need to head out soon but this shall do for now

Quick note from me as I am playing around with sencha touch and sass a little.

In order to compile the sass files,

compass compile

Resulted in generating a compile folder and not recompiling or considering the config.rb file at all.
Solution as hinted here is to add it to call it directly or add it to the PATH thus doing:

/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/compass compile

while inside the folder with the config.rb and the .sass file – finally resulted in a proper compile.
