After A Long Time

// August 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // 3dsmax, Maemo, Mobile, Personal, Python, Symbian, Uncategorized, Works

I’m just tired of writing articles that starts with “it has been a long time etc.”.Because i dont like writing so much.Anyway i’m trying to write as soon as i have free time.

So… There are a lot to write.

Lets get started with my first application for Maemo OS.It’s a simple application that calculate degree of a right triangle with a two given data.After a couple of “Hello World” application i just wanted to do something myself.Then this application came up.Infact this is not something new i generally use that right triangle angle calculator function when i learn a new programming language and if i dont have any software ideas.

And… It has been almost two months that i spent with The Nokia N810 tablet.I’m thinking to write a summary of my experiences with this device.Maybe that may help maemo beginners to use their devices with its all capabilities.

By the way i had a problem on my n95 8gb.It was always asking date and time after every restart.I had asked about this on so many discussion board.They said that i had to change its capacitor which saves date and time and i didnt do that.But however after a month it fixed itself i guess . It keeps date and time data now.

And.. i had a problem about 3d problem about my ATI video driver.It was causing errors in all 3d softwares such as 3dsmax , NaturalMotion etc. Last weekend i figured out how to fix this problem.i found  that error is happening on firmwares newer than 5.3.1. anyway …

You know i was going to interact my arduino with N810.After a long tiring hardship , I found that my hand-made arduino is not one of the supported devices and that project turned into a disappointment :(.This disappointment cost me about 15bucks , I wish I had bought that roll-up keyboard instead of that usb-serial converter .

By the way, I designed a wrist-case for n810 which I inspired by computer of the orion hacker in chuck the tv serie.I didnt make it.But i make another case to protect screen against stylus-scratches.Because it may cause serious scratches when you try to draw pictures or something in MyPaint or GIMP.

These are the issues of month as far as I remember.Also you can learn more about me from my twitter account.

Qr Code For Entries’ RSS

// February 22nd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements, Mobile, Web

hi everybody,

today while im reading articles from blog pages which i added to my google reader page, i wanted to add some of them to handy rss app. on my phone.but i need their rss urls.than i thought instead of writing them one by one to phone i can do it easier with qr code so i needed to convert those blogs’ rss links to qr code.here is the website to convert texts to qr code.it was became too much easier than it would be with phone’s keyboard.i know i could do that via bluetooth by sending links in a txt file.but i wanted to do that in an odd way this time.anyway…

So, i decided to make qr codes of my blog page’s rss links and put them to one of the blocks on right side.

sorry if  i made any mistake in english grammar coz im not a native-speaker.there may be mistakes.but i hope u understand what im sayin’

Hi everybody,

it’s been a long time that i didn’t write anything on my blog.anyway…

today i decided talk about reading book in your mobile phone.do you prefer pdf files word files or mobireader supported prc files?if u ask me my choice is prc files with mobireader.here is advantages  of mobireader

• u dont need to press a button after every line to skip to the next line.
• it provides settings like font , font size , background colour and lots of features like these.

i think these reasons are enough the prefer mobireader for reading book on ur mobile phone.so the most comfortable tool to read book on mobile is mobireader

also there is a converter for converting word , pdf ,html and txt files to prc format to open them on mobireader.and here is the url of the page to download mobipocket creator:

My First StopMotion ShortMovie:Save The Forests

// December 11th, 2008 // No Comments » // Mobile, Video FX, Works

You know the “Chicken Run” Movie which was about chicken that is trying escape from the farm.Yep, that’s what i’m talking about.

i was working on 3dsmax modelling while i was watching that movie.i spotted something that movie is 3d but it’s not looking like a computer rendered graphic.i searched around the web if there is any renderer plugin or smt. like for 3dsmax.

then i encountered another movie making method which is called as stopmotion.then i wandered and researched on that.and i found a software called as animator dv that make stopmotion movie making easy.

after first 2-3 practice.this short movie came up.

Save The Forests - My First Stop Motion Practice - video powered by Metacafe

infact that was not my point to make a video which says save the forests.u know southpark intro,which scissors cuts papers and characters comes up.i tried to make a movie like that but i noticed smt. that i was trying to make it with a piece of paper from notebook.but in southpark they were making it with carton material.so it’s hard to move papers per frame.

and there was scissors and a piece of paper on the table.then another idea come to my mind about making a movie looking like pacman but this time pacman will be the scissors and the enemy will be paper.

finally this short movie came up from this idea

nGun First Beta Version Released!

// October 24th, 2008 // 10 Comments » // Announcements, Mobile, Python, Symbian, Works

Accelerometers are becoming more and more ubiquitous, motion technology is everywhere, mobile phones, computers even washing machines now contain accelerometers and motion based technology is truly everywhere.

The nGun is the latest application for accelerometer equipped phones and it definitely isn’t the most useful one, it is not even aimed to be! This one is just for one, a little application that uses motion technology on a bit different way, another cool thing to show off and to impress your friends and colleagues with your mighty phone.

The idea behind application is quite simple, it detects two different movements and play the appropriate sound, something like the light sabre application. When you rotate your phone’s nose up it will play a gun shooting sound but when you rotate your phone to left it will play the clip charging sound.
