Revisiting the snowflake theme, in POV-Ray. Source file here.

A random path of large and small cylinders, evenly rotated around the y-axis six times and mirrored to form a symmetrical snowflake.

Trying out texture options, I stumbled upon normal { facets size 2 }, which turns the smooth cylinders into these neat crystal-like shapes; makes me want to reach into the monitor and grab the whole thing, spin it around, feel its weight...

Past snowflake inspired experiments:
- DHTML snowflake generator
- Java-based snowflake generator

Lucasarts isn't what it used to be. Once one of the most respectable game companies in the industry, it's selling out to 'cheap' arcade like titles scared out almost all of their talents. But it's nice to see that they're supporting a new Full Throttle, it was one of their last titles that really rocked :)

Continuing my self-imposed no-photos-for-one-week rule, I decided to rediscover POV-Ray (freeware raytracer) a bit. The current version has some features I never tried before, like isosurfaces (this rock is one).

It's still great fun simply placing objects, playing around with shapes/parameters and seeing what happens, especially now that I have a PC that can generate images like this in a couple of seconds. When I first tried POV-Ray ten years ago, scenes like this took two hours to render.

I made a PHP-version of that random entry javascript, and added it to the end of the left-side Contents menu; so now you can click, click, click for continuous randomness (inspired by Knurpslog).

Great idea to make it a PHP-script! A source of inspiration again. I just happen to learn PHP right now, so again I took the freedom to build one myself, just to see if I could do it.
Thanks again for the idea!

4. posted by milov at 10:07 on April 21, 2003

I had originally intended to just add the js version to the menu, but that would have required defining a template marker for the total number of weblog entries.

So I figured, why not do the whole thing server-side. It's easier anyway, the MySQL query is simply:
SELECT e_id FROM entry ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

5. posted by sep at 20:32 on April 21, 2003

Thanks! I didn't knew there was a random function for MySQL. I think I'm going to make a random entry thing too (if you don't mind) ;-)

4. posted by milov at 22:26 on April 16, 2003

I categorize my photos per month... my local photos dir has subdirs 2001-05, 2001-06 and so on to 2003-04, resulting in a 'managable' amount of 2000+ files in each folder.

And the total size of photos I post online each month is less than 1MB, so it hasn't that big of an impact on webspace.

5. posted by Tuuur at 23:33 on April 16, 2003

Q. How can I use the registry to include all file types in a file system search under Windows XP?

A. To use the registry to include all file types in a file system search, perform the following steps:

1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex registry subkey.
3. Double-click FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions, set the value to 1, then click OK.
4. Close the registry editor.
