Folder Creator	26 Jun 2009
A friend asked me if I knew a program that would create a range of folders from 003 to 010. I didn't know any so I decided to make one since it was pretty simple. Here you can see the result of a hour or so of work in this thing. I also included the source for those of you who might be interested.
More programming garbage	24 Jun 2009
Not that their garbage per se but I didn't have any category where to put this stuff. This time I bring you some more regular expressions to catch c++ comments and to clean up some HTML stuff. And the Ogre Exporter for Maya 2009 (32 bits version only). Enjoy!
Monkey Island is back!	02 Jun 2009
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! That's right, you are not dreaming. Ask someone beside you to pinch (or punch) you if you don't believe me. The greatest game of all time is coming back to us by the hands of LucasArts and TellTale. Not only we'll get a remake with neat features and graphics of the first adventure in the Monkey Island series, we'll also have new 5 episodes. Check the official page of the The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland/ the new screenshots and a video of the people involved in the project. While at LucasArts headquarters, you can also check this related merchandise: http://store.lucasarts.com/catalog/category.xml?category_id=1301488 New series! TellTale will be continuing to deliver us great adventure games and after reviving the classic Sam and Max, they'll revive the mythic Monkey Island. We'll get 5 new episodes (http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland) starting in 7 July and it seems the "creator" itself (aka Ron) was also involved in these episodes. You can pre-order it now and if you want a discount coupon for the TellTale store, here's one: 3PD-XNB-8Z7-M2K Ron Gilbert has also commented this in his blog where he talked about some interesting things about the design/production of the first game. Check it here: http://grumpygamer.com/8280380 I thank you LucasArts and TellTale for bringing this great game to life again. (As if it was dead...)

The car miniatures from the last post gave me the idea to build a simple 3D application that you can see in these two links: high resolution and/or low resolution. I hope you like this interactive experience sponsored by ZPX :)
Mini Lego	30 May 2009
I had this one posted a while ago but forgot to post it to the RSS's :/ A while ago a friend of mine bought some legos of a new collection called creator. I liked a little car that came in one of these sets and started building other car models, with the pieces of this car. Now here's a challenge I propose: how many car models can you do with 10 Lego pieces? Check the link to see some :)
