  • Uru Complete Chronicles Fly Mode

    Okay, so I was looking Myst Uru pictures on Google, and saw that it was possible to get into the big volcano in New Mexico. Plus a bunch of other places that I had never been. Well, I started looking and discovered that it was due to a developer tool called Flymode! Now with the […]

  • Back from MS and Other News About New Website

    Okay, so we’re back from Mississippi (actually almost a month now). We got back on August 7, and I haven’t gotten back to this thing until now. It was REALLY FUN!! On another note, I’ve started two websites. Google Webmaster Tools says that linking between sites increases publicity and ranking, so here we go: http://ppsstudios.brinkster.net and http://www33.websamba.com/ppsstudios/. Brinkster […]

  • Up2Date

    Heading down to Mississippi in a day (actually, more like 18 hours) to visit friends. Everyone thinks we’re crazy, going at a time like this, when it’s all hot and stuff, but we felt we needed to get it in before school started. Actually, it’s so close to that deadline that they were planning to […]

  • Connected

    How freaking connected can you be in the web? I’ve got a Google account with a ton of subscriptions there, and a DeviantArt account (which I haven’t touched in a year, but am now). So I just uploaded a ton of my difference backgrounds. I’ll add the “pastie” at the bottom of this window. Basically […]

  • Photoshop Flaming Text

    Photoshop Flaming Text

    This tutorial, by far, takes the cake as the best tutorial I’ve seen yet showing how to setting something on fire. The two techniques I’ve seen in the past are: Difference Clouds Coloring with erasure and coloring Smudging a blurred layer of the text and coloring three times But this tutorial is different in that […]

  • The Far Side

    The Far Side

    Yesterday, I found this awesome Far Side comic. It’s based after the Lone Ranger (of which there are a few Far Sides). At home, we’re watching a bunch of the old western serials and the Lone Ranger has really been a joke.

  • jFrame

    A JFrame is a little more than just a regular java app. You must extend and import a bunch of graphics classes included with JDK. To do this you need the following:

  • Programming

    So I got a JFrame app the other day for a plugin on a program. I found out how to change variable values in a text file without a recompile of the java class. Here it is (I did not include the preliminary java declarations/import classes, but they must also be included as usual). The […]

  • Online Picture Storage

    Well I’ve been storing a few of my online pictures in MSN Groups. But that wasn’t very good. It wastes a whole group, and I don’t like MSN that much. So I’ve moved almost all of my web pictures to PicasaWeb. Since Blogger stores all uploaded folders there anyway, I figured I might as well […]
