A blog about 3DGS, Nerds and a lot of other stuff

I guess, towards the end of this year, I’ll be getting up a bit more to blogging. Just for these few day’s at least. What a better way of demonstrating by talking about the new awesome contribution by DavidLancaster and his movement code contribution.

Note to self:

Always make a database and full filetree backup when upgrading Wordpress.

What I wanna say with that is, I tried to updgrade the blog from 2.6.2 to 2.7 and it kinda messed everything. I had to deactivate all the plugins and themes before I got to see anything but a blank page.

I hope Google picks this up in case someone else saw all those other Google results and still is wondering why his blog doesn’t work: DISABLE THE WP-STICKY PLUGIN, it causes a conflict, because the new WP version already has a built-in sticky function.

Happy Holidays!

Old Treasures

Who would have guessed, I found an old Song I wrote once, based on the lyrics from Don McLean’s “American Pie”. It’s quite old, even before Marco left Conitec. Intrestingly enough the song talks about “Marco’s Ghost” – a lil’ bit creepy. Anyway, read the entire lyrics after the jump.

I gotta admit, in the last time, there wasn’t much work done on Portico. I’ve been stuck between doing work, keeping over the water and in the little free time, doing something for fun… like: Playing Anarchy Online – I really got to admit, I fell back a little into the MMORPG addiction thing, gladly without forgetting doing work, but then on the other hand, Portico is not exactly work, it’s a hobby project and rather consumes money than make. And honestly at the moment finances are a little low, so I set the project aside to some little work here and there.

Now don’t take that as a “I don’t work on Portico anymore”. I do! Bust just not as my main occupation right now, too much going on in real life. But I will try to keep you posted!

Tuscture Science Song

A little fan-vid to Portico! Can’t believe I forgot to post that here – Seems like I still need some blogging experience ;)

Huge Kudos to David Lancaster!

I have just bought the domain “www.tuscture-science.com”. The Portico website will be going online there in a couple of days (or better said: as soon as I get to it). Also I have registered the official “Tuscture Science” YouTube channel where I will upload all Portico related videos in the future.

Well, not a hell lot of informative information there, but still better than nothing and saying every day “nothing new”.

Countdown…

….Clock.

Nothing really exciting new, but I integrated the “Countdown clock” to the “wake-up” chamber. Needs some shadow work still, as it yet appears quite flat on the wall, but that will be changed soon. For now, just giving my life sign that I keep my promise this time to continue to update the blog.

By the way: New code snippet coming up soon.
