http://blog.zrax.net Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:25:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Ok, I know, It's been a very long time since I posted anything here.  I have been pretty busy lately, though, so I haven't had much of a chance to post anything here.  However, progress *has* been, er, progressing on the libPlasma and PlasmaShop fronts over the past few months.  ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=18 Due to some of the very common confusion about PlasmaShop's support for decompyling python files, I've decided to release an update that should make things both easier and a bit clearer. Now, extracting a PAK file gives you the option to immediately decompyle the extracted files, and also automatically ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=16 Ok, I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted anything here, but I figured I should give a little background as to the current status of PlasmaShop, libPlasma, and all those other related things ;) Due to several issues, including lack of real cross-platform-ness and some limitations and annoyances ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=15 I admit it, I enjoy reading xkcd. Furthermore, I admit that I frequently find myself relating to its comics.  But this one deserves special mention, I think.  So, after reading it, I decided, apparently like many, to check google for the phrase "died in a blogging accident".  Only, instead of ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=13 Ok, so the Hex Isle support isn't really "complete", in that the syntax highlighting support isn't really done, but nonetheless, it does support it now.

Want something holiday-flavored? Try Acordian Hero: http://www.noinc.com/holiday06/flash.html Go on, you know you want to... ;) http://blog.zrax.net/?p=12 So, apparently there was a bug in PlasmaShop 2.2.0 with the creation of new .PAK files (and possibly even with adding files to existing .PAK files) that would corrupt your .PAK and give you an error message. Robert pointed this out to me today, and it should now be fixed. ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=11 Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted anything here...  I'm really not much of a talker -- much more of a listener usually.  In any case, there's a rather nice update in the world of Plasma today:  As some people out there know, I've been working for some time ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=10 So apparently, newer Ubuntu builds (7.04 and 7.10 are tested at the time of this writing) include a PS/2 kernel "fix" that breaks virtualized mice, such as those used in VirtualPC and VMWare. I discovered this today while trying to build such an Ubuntu VPC; thankfully, the end is ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=9 Well, if nothing else, this semester certainly promises to be an interesting one... So far, it's the first time since 6th grade that I haven't been involved in my educational facility's top choir; which is kinda disappointing in some ways, but honestly, ask anyone else (there are lots of ... http://blog.zrax.net/?p=8
