The iPhone camera does not take very good closeup photos. So I decided to see what sort of photos I could get if I attached a "macro lens." Well, I didn't have one so I used the tiny magnifying glass on my Swiss Army knife. It worked perfectly!

Download SquishDDS 1.1.3Changes (v1.1.3, 2009-03-25):Bug fixes: Better handling of premultiplied/unpremultiplied alphaDue to this fix, I've removed the premultiply alpha user option. Squish should automatically do the right thing in most cases, but let me know if there's a case it can't handle.Mipmap export is limited to the TIFF format, for now. PNG mipmap export has subtle bugs that I hope to

As Celestia 1.6.0 nears release, here is a list of what's new in the Mac version:Bundled data files for planets and stars (CelestiaResources) moved inside the Celestia app bundle. This simplifies installation - just drag and drop the app, no need to copy an extra folder. Nothing has changed for advanced users who wish to create their own addons; Celestia will continue to look for custom extras

I have resumed development on Emu48 for Mac OS X, an emulator for HP calculators. The new version will use future-proof OS X technologies such as Cocoa and Quartz and native Intel support is planned. No downloads are available yet but please visit http://emu48mac.sourceforge.net and consider making a donation to support the project.

Mac OS X installed on my eee. My very own "hackintosh" is running Tiger 10.4.9 on a 4GB SDHC. There's about 300MB free even after I installed Xcode 2.5! Sound, PhotoBooth, and GMA 900 acceleration are also working, but networking isn't due to the lack of suitable drivers. Luckily eeeXubuntu that's installed on my other drive (the internal ssd) has working wifi so I'm set.Yes, I would have

Very impressive and cute.FreebiesEven more impressive were the freebies that were included with the Japanese model. A 1GB flash was advertised as being included, but there was definitely no mention of a free 4GB Class 6 (20MB/s) SDHC card being included too! (That's not including the 4GB SSD that's

A 0.9kg, 8" ultra-portable computer is a lot more useful to a geek than a 2.6kg hunk of aluminium at twice the space and 3 times the weight! Especially if the speeds are just about identical. (And don't get me started on exploding batteries and burning power adapters...)I just pre-ordered an eee pc - a cheap, ultra-portable, ultra-moddable laptop. After seeing the new MacBook Air - thin, but

Happy New Year! It's back to work after a short vacation.Oh yes, and heaps of coal to Japanese immigration for successfully getting their hands on my fingerprints. Now all it takes is one wrong button click, and I can be discriminated against, or accused of being a terrorist.

I'll be away from Japan until the first week of next year, visiting family back home. I guess the Japanese government will finally get their hands on my fingerprints (and God knows what else) for their anti-terror files. I signed a petition against this mandatory scanning of foreign devils residents, but I guess PM Fukuda has more important stuff like golf-playing defence ministers to worry about

I moved to a new blog on blogger.com (Google). The old blog required too much maintenance - now Google can take care of 90% of that. Also Flickr photo blogging integration comes for free. Maybe all this added convenience means that I will actually start updating my blog from now on!
