G4 didn't kill them folks

Last year when G4 engulfed TechTV and destroyed it, many of us mourned what was the death of a close friend. TechTV's flagship show The Screen Savers was first revamped into a pseudo-technological show, and was more recently completely destroyed and replaced by a trendy teenager-targeting "entertainment" show called "Attack of the Show". When The Screen Savers was at it's peak, it featured what I thought was the greatest tech/geek information/entertainment bunch I'd ever seen. Well, that optimal Screen Savers team is back together publishing a weekly audio podcast called "This Week in Tech". TwiT as they call it is a very entertaining and, more importantly, informative radio show that features content similar to the old Screen Savers. Check it out!

Also, Kevin Rose, another former Screen Saver who's also on the TwiT cast, has also launched his own television podcast called systm. Check it out!

The OSP Complete Archive is out!

I'm pleased to announce the release of "The OSP Complete Archive". This CD-ROM contains every game that's ever been developed by OSP Enr. as well as prototypes and cinematics of never-released games. The CD-ROM is available from cafepress.com and costs 14.99$. The official website is up so you can check it out. If you see any broken link or whatnot please let me know. Thanks!

Check out Ubuntu

I was recently toying with a great number of Linux distributions for a very specific task. The task was to turn my old 350mhz computer into a Samba server without really learning Linux (that'll come later). While installing and uninstalling a variety of distros I stumbled upon Ubuntu. It was love at first sight. This distribution is highly evolved (it can be updated as easily as Windows XP). It looks absolutely gorgeous and through it's very helpful website I managed to get it to do exactly what I wanted with a minimum of command-line interventions. If you're looking to get into Linux, I highly recommend Ubuntu.

Back from the dead!

Welcome back to christianboutin.com. Although it may look similar from the outside, the site's core has been completely redesigned using php (instead of javascript). The result is a better, faster-loading and easier to maintain site. This means I should update it more regularly than I used to. It took me three days to learn php and reprogram the entire site. About a week to enter all the data from the projects database (the old data was really messed up to work with javascript). I still have a lot of work to do in the Projects section, so if you go there understand that it's still in a flux. The resume is also messed up. It was made using Microsoft Word so the html it produces isn't compatible with Mozilla. Expect a new version soon.

Thanks and welcome back!
