PhotoPearls for linux

-
On my birthday a friend gave my the PhotoPearls set. The application which generates the images is only for Windows But I was able to install and run it with Wine. After a while I got stuck when it required a printer to print the generated image. Since i really wanted to try this i had no choice but to write my own application, gPearl. It runs on all platforms that support Python and the Python Imaging Library. More information about the project can be found on the project page.

Hi,
I found this old blogpost but the links are dead. Is it possible to get a copy of the gPearl app?

Hi,
I created a gist for the file and updated the link in the post. Hopefully the application still works :)

Hey, thanks a lot for sharing. :)
I wanted to be able to easily sum the number of beads needed of each color for multiple images, so I added that ability.

I put the code here: https://github.com/letharion/gPearls hope you don't mind. :)
There's no license at all on the current code, so I picked GPL-3, please let me know if you don't like that as the majority of the code obviously isn't mine. :)

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 ! Lazy loading of tables and performance optimations by Jason Axley 2010-08-02 1.3.0 ! Better ie6 support, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16655 Fixed parameter name typo, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16819 2010-07-08 1.2.0 ! Fixed a few bugs and added reinit and recalculate functions to the table. 2009-10-19 1.1.0 ! Better compatibility, better tested. There are still some problems with IE6 that i would like to have some help with. 2009-10-15 1.0.7 is out! With all fixes made

Seascape - OpenVR adaptation of a 4k intro

-
Image
At Revision this year I competed in the 4k intro competition with an intro called 'falling'. Because I've been doing a lot of VR related stuff lately I decided to convert the intro into an interactive VR experience(?). The original shader is a single raymarched scene which means that demo is very demanding on the GPU. But you can provide a scale factor for the framebuffers on the command line to get acceptable framerate. The binaries are compiled for Windows 10 and can be downloaded here . I suggest putting on some nice background music like  Röyksopp  for maximum effect. If you're not that into VR you can go over to Shadertoy and watch the intro instead,  https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dcSDN .
