Procedural modeling: L-System Tree

Just sharing my L-system on tree creation. First time I did it in Dynamo (http://dynamobim.org/), around 6 months ago during my internship. This time around I am taking Computer Graphics module, so I did it in OpenGL for my lab assignment, although I only use tapered cylinder and ellipse-based cylinder as per assignment requirement.

Android Home - Intent

Finally I figure out what makes an Android home/launcher an Android home/launcher. You need the intent to be so. The intent is android.intent.category.HOME. With that, your activity will be a home.

Ceasing of Android Home Sample Development

GitHub
Home

Bad news. I am ceasing development on Android Home Sample. Reason being I found it very hard to update it to follow recent SDK since the basis of the code is very old. I could redo the whole thing, of course, but I find it would be better if I make one from scratch. I might be making a new repo for the launcher from scratch soon. We'll see :)

For version 0.4, I added high score system. I was chasing for speed, so from software engineering view, I broke the architecture. I could not get past one problem.

Namecheap for GitHub Pages

So I was looking into custom domain for my GitHub Pages and I asked my friend which custom domain service he is using. He is using Namecheap¹. I bought the domain and was configuring it when I was lost O_O because I am new to this and GitHub help does not have specific instructions on this. I googled and found http://davidensinger.com/2013/03/setting-the-dns-for-github-pages-on-namecheap/.

Hopefully it will work :)

Update:
Hoo Haa! It works :D Go visit my site! www.hansadrian.com

Sticking with Blogger

I think I am sticking with Blogger. I found syntax highlighting system for Blogger. You could find the post about it at http://mlawire.blogspot.sg/2009/07/blogger-syntax-highlighting.html. I will update the codes in this page with the syntax highlighter. I apologize for the upcoming layout changes every now and then because I want to update the blog design.

Installing Jekyll On Windows. Ouch.

It is getting very painful to do code blogging here. No code marking, syntax highlighting and blah blah blah. I am thinking of using Jekyll to blog. And yeah, I thought I could straight jump into it but apparently not.

For those of you thinking of doing the same, here is my way. Note that I already installed Python in my computer.

1. Get Ruby and RubyGems - follow instructions from https://forwardhq.com/support/installing-ruby-windows
2. For syntax highlighting, install Pygments - follow instructions from http://zduck.com/2009/installing-python-pygments-on-windows/
3. Now, install jekyll - run gem install jekyll

That's all that I have done. Hope Jekyll would be great!

For version 0.3, I added a boost logo next to the logo counter to make the GUI more user-friendly. You could get the image I used as GUI texture below.
