Neon v2 goes open source!

After more than a year since the last “news” on the Neon v2 website, some big news indeed: Neon v2 has gone open source! (First read about here: “Neon v2 goes open source” by Soledad Penadés). Neon v2 being the software that I use for mixing visuals, of course, which is why I’m excited.
This happened [...]

From the Endless Distractions department…
A short animation created, initially, in Mozilla Thunderbird. I promise, it’s true! I was typing an email and wanted to put a devil smiley, but didn’t like the way the first one I typed looked. What’s the “usual” smiley for the devil? Websearch, distraction, see something stupid about a Ninja turtle [...]

London VJ Meerting, Wed 6 August at T-Bar

London VJ Meeting – 6th of August 2008 from vjdrmo on Vimeo.
Hmmm… of course I only appear in the clip tooling about in front of the camera hooked up for video feedback, trying to make something interesting happen. I’m not so sure it was working. ;o)
I don’t think I will make it to the 27 [...]

Cops and robbers

I went to Notting Hill this evening, ostensibly for the Notting Hill Carnival, but by the time I arrived the carnival had already finished for the day. I met up with the friend I went to meet, had something to eat and a chat with him and his friends, and afterwards we went into The [...]

Wheels in motion

Wheels, maybe cogs. Went to a meeting las night about a monthly Sunday afternoon/evening gig starting up at Vibe Live (above Vibe Bar) in Brick Lane next month: Sound on Vision, a visuals-heavy night for VJ / AV / etc stuff with some music, with a focus on the visuals. Sounds right up my alley… [...]

Possible Ars Electronica travel plans?

The Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, looms. It runs from Thu 04/Sep to Tue 09/Sep. I’m thinking about going, and see there is a Central Europe Couchsurfing meeting, Czechsurfing, happening just a few days afterwards in nearby Prague from Fri 12/Sep to Sun 14/Sep. Prague is also close to Berlin, a place I’d really [...]

pb-embedflash tests

This post is for testing the pb-embedflash plugin for WordPress. Expect nothing to work, be surprised if it does. At the moment it seems that IE can display stuff and Firefox can’t… maybe a version problem. I’ve had issues with the Adobe Flash Player install, and there are possibly issues with Firefox 3.

Site upgrades, photo galleries and more

There should be an image gallery just above this: some still captures of the visuals I mix. There should also be a couple of random images in the sidebar.
Over the past few days I’ve been tidying up the contents of my webserver. The other day I noticed that the gallery was broken, and it took [...]

This is a beautiful example of the use of Processing. Not by me, unfortunately, but I hope to be able to make animations like this soon! Nice track by Boards of Canada too. A great result from a nice inspiration.

Processing sample: Esfera mod by spxl

subpixels.com goes 3D… realtime 3D, that is!
Processing.org released a new version of Processing over the weekend. I’ve downloaded a copy, fired it up, and had a play with one of the OpenGL samples that comes with it. I’m not a Processing guru just yet, so just made [...]
