Keeping with tradition, Viewr 2 is released completely comprised of code. 190 lines of it to be exact. Many revisions, mostly being the fade effect between photos, along the ability to pause, play, and skip ahead. Also a few more customizable features, such as delay, link url, and controls. Another good upgrade: a preloader. Pictures still may be a little jumpy at times, but at least they wont be eight second loading. I will post source and file as soon as I finish documentation. viewr
Viewr Beta

I have, for the first time, created an account at Flickr‘s online photo service for myself, and decided to do something with the monstrous API I now have at my fingertips. My first invention is Viewr, a slight disappointment. It has something different than other flash programs using this API, a small size. Viewer is barely over 1kb and is entirely made of code, not a single object or layer. In seventy-five lines of code, it becomes a very customizable photo viewer for up to a hundred photos, searchable by user, photoset, or tag. It is not very pretty and can only be placed in a perfect square to work properly, so if you would like to try to make it better, I can post the code. Find it Here: Viewr.swf
Xbox Hacking- Firsthand

Today I decide to try something I have always wanted to, but was never able to because of my parents or brother. Xbox Modding. I wanted to do everything myself, besides the programming, so I quickly set off to break into a broken controller to see what was inside. Finding exactly what I had expected, I promptly went for a solder gun and USB cord that I could use to have a USB flash drive in the controller. By cutting the cord from one controller and putting it onto the other, I then had two cords coming from the same place, one without wires on the end. Stripping the end, I decided to test it before I soldered it to the female USB. In a few seconds, I effectively burned out a 1 gig USB drive ($60). At that moment, I had the thought that it wouldn’t be as bad to burn out a $6 xbox memory card. Brilliant. Cut and splice and there you have it: an 8mb USB flash drive. It was even easier to make a USB-Xbox cord. A few Action Replay files later and I now have a softmodded Xbox. Now all I have to worry about is getting the warranty filed on the flash drive. One day, I will finish the controller port, but for now, it is too much fun playing Super Mario 64 on my Xbox.
No Excuse Not To Have A Mac

Windows users, your time is gone. The Macintosh BootCamp beta was released today, eliminating any reason to keep a faulty PC around. BootCamp allows any intel Mac running 10.4.6 or over install and run the WindowsXP operating system, separate from OSX, on the same machine. This allows full access to any and all windows programs, while keeping the speed and reliability of your Macintosh partition. The windows fix for Macintosh has been around for over a year, PearPC. So now you can go ahead and buy that new iMac you’ve had you eye on. NOTE: Windows, being what it is, is still susceptible to viruses. They will not, however, affect your Macintosh partition.
