Mephisto Working Again

Well, after some big headaches trying to recover from a mix of my provider – Bluehost – silently updating my server setup to Apache2 and my Mephisto installation just “automagically” failing without me doing anything, I managed to get the time and patience to refresh the installation and now everything works again!

My apologies to the people who have tried to access some pages that became unreachable during this period.

Let’s see if I have the time and patience to keep this weblog more regularly updated.

The Art of Business Card Designs

One thing I have yet to do is create my own business card: shall I make it understated or overstated, monochrome or colourful, vertical or horizontal, serif or sans serif…

Anyhow, while looking for inspiration I stumpled on this page, full of really creative ideas: Cool Business Card Designs

imgtype=face

Google Image search has a little secret feature, if you search for a person and add imgtype=face to the url, it will only display faces!

For example, search for “john” faces:
http://images.google.com/images?q=john&imgtype=face

I wonder what other hidden features exist in Google search…

And it looks like they can have other uses: someone decided to turn one into a harddrive casing, result is just brilliant:

iusethis

Recently I found out a great site where people can list the applications they use, iusethis.com. It’s a bit like the concept of Digg applied to applications. Each application has a badge showing how many people use it, coupled with a description and eventual comments from users.

MacIago is also there, here’s how its badge looks like:

New Release of MacIago

After more than 50 000 downloads and 4 years of development inactivity, I’m working on a small update for MacIago. This new version will have the choice several board sizes and a slightly improved artificial intelligence. I’m also planning to release its source code.

This game was originally meant to help me learn Objective C, and I never thought it would become as popular as it did. It got translated in 7 languages, and it became specially popular in Japan, closely followed by the US.

For this new version, I’ll again need a couple of strings translated, so if you would like to help, please send me an email.
