Supermodel v0.2 is the real deal | Your time has been extended.

https://timeextend.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/supermodel-v0-2-is-the-real-deal

Your time has been extended. Time Extend, the racing game blog. Supermodel v0.2 is the real deal. Until very recently, if you wanted to play any of Sega’s Model 3 arcade games in the comfort of your own home, you were out of luck. Your only option besides owning one of the machines yourself was MAME – which, even in the off-chance you somehow got the damn thing to run, couldn’t really handle Model 3 emulation. Thanks to the efforts of Bart Trzynadlowski. Next post →. Racing Game Music of the Day.

Tech Ennui: "cupsd: Child exited with status 98!"

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2010/08/cupsd-child-exited-with-status-98.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Cupsd: Child exited with status 98! If you get the error "cupsd: Child exited with status 98! On your linux server, it's probably because cups was not running at some point and another process grabbed port 631, thinking it was a spare random port. Most likely it was rpc.statd, and you should be able to clear it by issuing "/etc/init.d/nfslock restart". January 5, 2011 at 2:36 PM.

Tech Ennui: April 2008

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Friday, April 11, 2008. Don Knuth had a problem. He wanted to write a book on programming algorithms, but wasn't happy with the tools available. So he wrote E. This feature allowed them to add a tweak to their text editor, which was the ability to. Many years later, and we have the World Wide Web (as opposed to Knuth's WEB) and we're still struggling to publish software in a way that's easy to read online. Knuth's stuff is gr...

Tech Ennui: February 2008

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Formatting documents for the Amazon Kindle. Today's Blog post is going to be a little different. Instead of preparing an article in advance, I'm going to treat this entry like a Wiki page and update it continuously as I make new discoveries…. For the moment, I've still to add some links to example pages and a couple of screen shots.). Now, it has to be said that text on the Kindle looks OK, but with o...

Tech Ennui: October 2007

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Saturday, October 27, 2007. Myer and Sutherland's Great Wheel of Reincarnation. Back in the early 70's, Myer and Sutherland (the latter of Evans and Sutherland high-end graphics fame) suggested that trends in graphics workstations (and by extension, computing in general) followed the ' great wheel of reincarnation. Applications moving to some generic cloud on the net.). Monday, October 15, 2007. I recently came into possession of...

Tech Ennui: July 2008

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Friday, July 4, 2008. Still crazy after all these years. Today I found - if not a bug, then at least a problem - with an old piece of software that is so stable it hasn't been modified in several years. I Googled for stream-based unzip code and did find a couple of implementations, but after major hassles compiling them, none of them would read this file. What I eventually did was this: there is a utility with info-zip called "fu...

Tech Ennui: PL/SQL integer division

http://techennui.blogspot.com/2009/09/plsql-integer-division.html

A blog for those who wonder why technology has to be so difficult at times. Tuesday, September 1, 2009. I've been programming PL/SQL for a couple of years now and I only found out about this 'feature' of PL/SQL today. Without actually running it, what would you expect this program to output? A PLS INTEGER;. B PLS INTEGER;. C PLS INTEGER;. DBMS Output.put line('18 / 5 = ' c);. To the nearest int, rather than truncating, down or towards 0. October 9, 2009 at 11:39 PM.

PicoDrive

http://notaz.gp2x.de/pico.php

Yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for some ARM based handhelds. This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind (such as PDAs, smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X of course). The critical parts (renderer, 68K and Z80 cpu interpreters) and some other random code is written in ARM asm, other code is C. The base code originates from Dave's (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC. PicoDrive was actively d...
