Adventures of a retro electro media hacker type person. Archive for the ‘Demoscene’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Monday, September 9th, 2013. Temporarily abandoning my plan to blog about all of my projects in chronological order, seeing as I’m now two years behind.). Is my new demo for Raspberry Pi and Novation Launchpad MIDI controller, written as an exercise in creating a coherent visual narrative on an oh-so-limited display. Music is by songster and zinc-vending. Which I think is kind of neat.).

Incredible value home Hi-Fi on the cheap with Tripath amplifiers | ruairi.me

Incredible value home Hi-Fi on the cheap with Tripath amplifiers. On Jun 25, 2013. Bull; 5:08 am. Sometimes I come across something that’s too good to keep to myself – and Tripath amplifiers are one of them. Typically these days home audio has pretty much moved completely away from systems based on separates (Tape deck, CD Player, Amplifier, Radio and Turntable) to dock arrangements, or possibly home theater amplifiers paired with a 5.1 surround setup. Thankfully a middle ground is possible by buying a C...

Mixed bag of updates! On Nov 5, 2013. I’ve neglected this blog for a bit I admit! Lots has gone on so I’ll summarise what’s been going on since August. Australia: I returned from my trip to Australia in late August – sadly I hadn’t had much luck finding industry specific work in Melbourne and had to take the difficult decision to cut it. What’s going on with Sundown 2013? On Jun 13, 2013. We are also looking for commercial. I am a proud supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Mixed bag of updates! On Nov 5, 2013. Bull; 2:02 pm. I’ve neglected this blog for a bit I admit! Lots has gone on so I’ll summarise what’s been going on since August. I returned from my trip to Australia in late August – sadly I hadn’t had much luck finding industry specific work in Melbourne and had to take the difficult decision to cut it short in order to not get myself into too deep a financial pickle! I did take the spare time I had to get MCSA certified however. Also, for those who are curious, TP-...

Ridge Racer memories and PPSSPP (PlayStation Portable Emulator). On Jun 12, 2013. Bull; 4:16 pm. Ridge Racer Arcade Machine. 50p would get me around 6 minutes of gameplay on this beast – it was so expensive at the time but the game itself was exhilarating – the bold colours, the 60 frames per second display, 6-shift gear mechanism and the pumping rave soundtrack. I’ve never been very good at games but I always liked to play Novice or Advanced with the ridiculous Rotterdam Nation. The only outstanding iss...

Sizecoding PHP for no particular reason. On Aug 1, 2013. Sizecoding isn’t just for the demoscene. You may have seen the wonderful JS1K competitions or perhaps many of the 4k entries from various demoparties including most famously Elevated by RGBA TBC (YouTube). I can’t code. I keep saying that but for some reason I like to play around with PHP, making simple scripts for. Ruairi (31), Irish-born, English accented and living in Exeter, UK for the time being.

My introduction to Light Jockeying and behind the scenes of a commercial nightclub. On Dec 20, 2013. For as long as I’ve been going to gigs and clubbing, I’ve always been curious about Light Jockeying and VJing. I decided to investigate further, and got in touch with an old friend from school who works part time light jockeying at a local nightclub. Technical Details A light jockey is someone who operates the lighting. Mixed bag of updates! On Nov 5, 2013. I’ve neglected this blog for a bit I admit!

Sizecoding PHP for no particular reason. On Aug 1, 2013. Bull; 2:33 pm. Sizecoding isn’t just for the demoscene. You may have seen the wonderful JS1K. Competitions or perhaps many of the 4k entries from various demoparties including most famously Elevated by RGBA TBC. But I did spend a bit of time making a PHP packer using the gzdeflate function. If you’re interested, here’s the code:. Php $z=fopen("index.php","r");fseek($z, 79. Provide it with an input.php. Nothing amazing but a bit of fun! Jan 28, 2015.

Tickets are priced at 45 for standard entry and 65 for a supporter ticket. You can also pay more if you’re feeling epic (it’s not unheard of)! We are also looking for commercial sponsors, so if anyone has any ideas do get in touch (ARM? Or you can also e-mail me there to arrange a bank transfer if you prefer. This b...
