Keywords: Direct volume rendering, texture mapping, splatting, ray marching, octree, kd-tree, memory management, GPU. …
Yesterday my new phone arrived: a Motorola Atrix 4G, which should be a real upgrade from my trusty old HTC Wildfire. I bought it for €239 in an iBood sale. Advantages were the big screen, dual-core processor and 4G support. A possible contra was the doubt that any official Ice …

(Updated 2015 with qBittorrent examples and Tor Browser Bundle instead of Vidalia) So, here’s a guide several people have been asking me to write. Let’s just put a big fat disclaimer above it first: I’m just writing this because I think all internet traffic should be considered equal, and I …
I thought it was a bit of a shame that this song wasn’t released yet. I’ve used the audio from 2 video captures (#1, #2) taken at the concert in Moscow on 14/10/2010. The enter vocals are taken from the remix which appeared on the Atlas Air EP which was …
About a month ago, I bought a HTC Wildfire. It’s a budget Android phone, which packs a nice set of features (wifi, gps, …). The pre-installed build of Android, customized with HTC Sense is not bad, but on a device with a relatively weak CPU, it’s a shame to see …
