1. Re: Syncje berries and spam flodding...580125 Jun 20, 2008 8:49 PM (in response to 525847)I would love to know how your settings are in SyncJE and anything else you may have done to get it to sync at all. We have yet to have a successful sync through SyncJE.
I realize this doesn't solve the mass email problem but any help you could give would be appreciated. If we could get ours throwing emails left and right, it would be great progress!
2. Re: Syncje berries and spam flodding...525847 Jun 25, 2008 10:04 PM (in response to 580125)We 'solved' the mass email problem and syncje is now working. Basically, we found the following:
a) url redirects don't work - you must use the direct path (and port) to the fcgi
b) We followed Oracle's docs on how to set it up, in particular the leading period and punctuation (I believe it's ./Calendar/Events)
I will get back with the details of the mass emailings - I don't have a berry but been helping others in configuring them.

Why does my form become taller than necessary when submitted?Asked by beendare on April 28, 2013 at 03:53 PM
Hi - I have a form at SuperLoveTees which gets much taller than necessary when the form is submitted. Is there a way to fix that?
The issue makes my post-submission page look really ugly. Although I could fix this by sending the submitter to a separate confirmation page, I would rather not if I don't need to.
JotForm Support
The Thank you page template have that default height set, and unfortunatelly that is causing your TY page to appear to have some additional white space due to the default height.
Have you tried editing the TY page html source code, and add the "height" attribute? (see image below)
Please try this. Inform us if this still did not make any difference.
Hi (and thanks),
Yes, I already tried editing the height of the thank you page (in the style of the text's containing div); however, that didn't help.
After reading your response, I changed the "thank you" response to be a separate webpage in order to take it entirely out of the equation.
Even with a separate thank you page, the form still doubles in height as the form is being submitted (and before taking the user to the thank you page.
If you try the form again, you will see that it still expands in height (and takes you to a thank you page)
Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
JotForm Support
Hi Bradford,
When I test submitted again your form, it redirects to this page
But I think this is not what you meant of the height expanding... it is rather when you click the submit button, there is a brief instance the form move and expand in height.
Can you try removing the added div style code...(see red underlined text)
Think this code is making the form move and reposition prior to submission.
If still does not work, please try re-embedding the form using this iframe code

The iframe code should prevent any script conflict issue.
Please try this, and inform us if still not resolved.
Hi - removing the
 code didn't fix the expanding height issue.
The iframe didn't expand (because of the iframe's fixed height), but the submit button was pushed down and out of view if the form input fields had errors (like must enter name, not a properly formatted email address, etc.).
I decided to add a height tag to the div that has the form in it. It works similarly to the iframe, but the submit botton is still viewable with errors (although it lays over the top of the div below it if there are 2 form input erros).
I'm okay with my kludge fix for now, but would really appreciate a better solution.
Thanks again,
JotForm Support
Hi Bradford,
I think the previous iframe code I gave is lacking a bit. So, I used the defautl iframe code provided by JotForm this time... this one.

Seems to work when I tested it on this test page.I also did not include anymore the div style. You can view the test page source code to see how I did it.You may want to try this solution also.Hope this help. Please inform us if you have further inquiry.Thanks.
Hi & Thanks again! I really appreciate your dedication to helping me resolve this issue.
Your fix works, as did your previous iframe fix becuase it defines the height of the form area. The issue with your fixes is that when there are errors in the form input (see attached screen grab of your mock site), the form expands to display those errors, which then pushes the submit button out of the iframe (or div).
My goal was to have an div that expanded as needed to accomodate the error messages (although alowing this expansion resulted in an aproximate 50% increase in height upon sumbit). If you can give me a fix that doesn't define the height (and expands to accomodate the error message) that would be great.
If not, I will just use the fixed height and adjust the position of the form to work good-enough.
Once again, I really appreciate your help.
JotForm Support
Auto-adjust height isn't possible with iframe.
How about making the error position absolute so it doesn't affect the fields position on error state? Or you can removed the error messages instead and leave the fields border color red which still indicates the fields are required.
If you like you can use the following CSS codes.
For absolute position so the fields wont move,
.form-line-error .form-error-message{
position: absolute;
top: 35px;
height: 15px;
However, if you'd like to removed them, use the following code.
.form-line-error .form-error-message {

Thank you!

* TI cuts EPS view to $0.51-$0.55 from $0.52-$0.60
* Cuts rev view to $3.36-$3.50 bln from $3.41-$3.69 bln
* Says Nokia was to blame for sales shortfall
* TI shares recover from 5 pct drop (Adds analyst comments, share price update)
By Sinead Carew
NEW YORK, June 8 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments TXN.N slashed its earnings and revenue forecasts and blamed the shortfall on major client Nokia's NOK1V.HE ailing cellphone business.
The chipmaker's stock dropped 5 percent initially. But it later recouped losses and went up slightly after the maker of chips for everything from cellphones to cars reassured investors that all business units -- apart from wireless -- were meeting expectations.
TI had warned in April that revenue from wireless baseband chips -- the main chip in cellphones -- had been hurt by weak sales at its biggest client Nokia NOK1V.HE, which has had a tough time competing in advanced phones. [ID:nN18221973]
Just last week, the Finnish cellphone maker, which once dominated the global market but has since been eclipsed by the likes of Apple Inc (AAPL.O), warned its second-quarter phone sales would be sharply below forecast. [ID:nLDE7500RE]
"Investors are relieved Nokia's all it is," said Williams Financial analyst Cody Acree, especially with TI having declared plans to shutter its baseband business by the end of 2012.
Barring the hit from Nokia, everything else remained on track for a strong second half, Ron Slaymaker, head of investor relations, told analysts on a conference call.
While baseband chips had still represented 12 percent of revenue in the fourth quarter, that metric would drop to about 6 percent of revenue this quarter.
Some analysts argued that an accelerating decline of the baseband business might be construed as good news. Investors would get a clearer picture, and sooner, of TI's growth businesses: the embedded processors and analog chips used in all types of products with electronics components.
"This is one of those times when bad news is good news," said Gleacher analyst Doug Freedman. "The sooner Nokia's business is out of the numbers, the better the investment community will be able to see the core growth,"
TI's lowered quarterly results outlook comes as the chipmaker continues to recover from earthquake production disruptions in Japan. But on Wednesday, executives said that its recovery efforts in Japan were proceeding along with its expectations.
The company, which plans to buy National Semiconductor Corp (NSM.N) to shore up its footing in analog chips, said it still expects to take a 5-cent hit to its second-quarter per-share earnings -- as previously announced -- from Japan-related costs.
Executives added that some of its customers in the automobile industry continued to grapple with supply-chain issues related to the aftermath of the quake, Japan's largest on record.
TI forecast second-quarter revenue of $3.36 billion to $3.50 billion, well below Wall Street expectations for $3.55 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Analyst estimates were at the mid-point of TI's previous target range for the quarter.
The company also cut its earnings per share forecast to a range of 51 cents to 55 cents, compared with its previous target of 52 cents to 60 cents per share. Analysts had expected earnings of 57 cents per share -- a penny above the mid-point of the previous target announced in April.
TI shares rose slightly to $32.80 in late trade after closing at $32.67 on New York Stock Exchange. (Additional reporting by Noel Randewich and Edwin Chan; editing by Bernard Orr)

Different Mango Packs for Pimples, Acne, Spots, Blemishes: Every girl desires beautiful and young looking skin. A flawless and radiant skin is indeed is the aspiration of every woman suffering from the skin issues. These skin problems can be pimples, acne, spots, blemishes, patches, dryness, redness, pigmentation and ageing. In summers, the major skin problem every next person facing is acne. It is the effect of excessive oil production in the skin. It draws in dust and sweat and locks the pores which lead to pimples on the skin. Mango is a seasonal fruit which can help in the pimples and acne problems. Moreover, mango also helps to treat the open pores and impart a fairer look to the skin.
Why skin problems occur?
Skin problems occur due to many external as well internal factors such as deficiency of nutrients, low hemoglobin, lifestyle, lack of sleep, stress and any disease. Whatever the causes are, the results are really worst to watch. The skin starts looking dull and lifeless, it brings down the confidence of oneself.
Don't worry, you can easily control the acne growth and its re occurrence at home by following my natural homemade mango remedies. Mango recipes for pimples are very beneficial in curing the acne. Let's see how.
How Mango is helpful for skincare and pimples?
Mango is one of the favorite fruits of all ages. It is sweet, fresh and less tangy in taste. This yellow, juicy and pulpy fruit gives various benefits to the skin. Mango is the king of all fruits not only because of its taste, but besides for its essential nutrients. It is also rich in anti-oxidants that repair the skin cells and boost the blood circulation in the body. Regular consumption of mangoes can reduce the lack of vitamins and essential fatty acids in the body.
How mango is beneficial to remove acne?
Mango contains Beta-carotene helps in unclogging the skin pores. When the pores unclogged, the acne growth stops gradually. It is also a good source of vitamin-A, vitamin-C and fats that rejuvenates the skin and increases its radiance. It slows down the acne accumulation and decreases its effect like dark spots on the skin. Application of mango packs will give a flawless clear skin which is free from the acne and pimples on the nose, chin, cheeks etc
Mangoes will also help to makes the complexion brighter. Therefore, these mango packs can be skin brightening packs as well.
Mango Face packs to get rid of pimples
Curd and Mango pack
Curd is a combination of anti-septic and anti-bacterial attributes. It smoothes out the skin and leaves it soft and supple looking. You can use mango curd to make the skin flawless.
To make this mango pack, take 2 teaspoons of mango pulp in a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of curd in it. Whisk the ingredients well and apply it gently on the face. Remove this face mask after 20 minutes with tepid water. You should use that daily so that the skin stays pimple free. Moreover, this mango facial pack will help to improvise the dull and shallow skin complexion.
Mango Pack with Neem
Neem consist of anti-bacterial properties that keep the bacteria away from the skin and stops its re-occurrence. Mango and neem will act on the bacterial growth and curbs them, Hence this mango pack will also keep the skin glowing. Neem can also be used in the powder form or the paste of the neem leaves.
Combine 2 full spoons of mango and Neem paste each in a small bowl. Mix them well and apply this face pack on the affected area. Rinse it off with cold water after 25 minutes.
Mango face pack with turmeric
Turmeric treats acne by applying its natural anti-septic properties. Mango and turmeric may heal acne marks and its occurrence very quickly. In fact, you can also lighten the skin complexion and reduces the sun tan on the face also with this mango pack for pimples.
Take one fresh mango and peel out its pulp. Put it in a small bowl and whisk it well using a spoon or whisker. Apply this face mask on clean face using your fingers. Massage it for 20 minutes and wash it off with chilled water.
Mango pack with tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is extremely rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It also nourishes the skin deeply and gives it a natural glow. Moreover, tea tree oil treats acne spots and controls acne growth.
Peel out 1 fresh mango and slice it in two parts. Take out its pulp using a peeler and put it in a separate bowl. Now add 1 full spoons of tea tree oil in the same bowl and mix both the things really well. Also add a few drops of lemon juice in it and give it a final mix. Cleanse your face using a cleanser and then apply this anti pimple mango face mask all over the acne area. Rinse it with water after 30 minutes.

Abrams ; Corcoran Gallery of Art PP New York; Washington, D.C. YR 1999 SN 0810945533 9780810945531 088675058X 9780886750589 AB "This book documents the plight of homeless men, women, and children in cities and towns across America - and points the way to lasting solutions." "The safety net that once protected the vulernable and aided the ill has suffered from many pressures, but has not disappeared. Programs exist, and people of energy and commitment are working to construct new ways of confronting and overcoming this persistent crisis." "To end homelessness in America, we must begin to see "the homeless" as individual human beings, rather than a faceless, nameless crowd." "With this necessity to see in mind, Philip Brookman, Curator of Photography and Media Arts at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and Jane Slate Siena of the Getty Conservation Institute have invited 13 eminent photographers - some artists, some photojournalists - to meet homeless citizens in their makeshift dwelling places, and in various forms of interim and permanent housing." "Nan Roman's essay provides context for these images, describing the present state of the crisis and offering concrete, practical solutions, while Tipper Gore's foreword offers a personal perspective. The photographers' captions describe their impressions of the situations they recorded and poems, some by members of the Writers' Forum at the Miriam's Kitchen Breakfast Program in Washington, D.C., infuse the book with the voices of homeless men and women."--Jacket.

Morning Roundup: Tom Cruise May Accept New "Mission: Impossible"; Lil Wayne's Dental Delay; Miami Gets Ready for "Jersey Shore"
Tom Cruise May Accept New "Mission": It's been four years since Tom Cruise last brought Ethan Hunt on the big screen, and now the actor is expected to again suit up as the agent in "Mission: Impossible IV." "Lost" executive producer J.J. Abrams, who directed the last installment, is set to produce the new "Mission" for a Memorial Day release date in 2011. [MTV]
Lil Wayne Jail Sentence Delay: In addition to his lyrics and tattoos, rapper Lil Wayne is known for his blinged-out teeth. The New Orleans rapper had been expected to be formally sentenced Tuesday in New York City for a gun charge, but he has now been allotted a few extra days of freedom to visit Miami for dental work. The rapper will now be sentenced on March 2; he reportedly has agreed to one year in prison as part of a plea deal, but good behavior could cut that time down. No details about the medical work were disclosed, but Weezy, as he's often called by fans, has an estimated $150,000 worth of diamonds on his teeth. [San Jose Mercury News]
"Jersey Shore" in Miami: The MTV reality television program "Jersey Shore" has already sparked controversy in the Garden State. Now there are reports that Snooki, J Woww, The Situation and the rest of the gang will make the beaches of Miami their home for the summer for the next season of the show in May. The cast is said to be headed to house on Lincoln Road in South Beach. If so, the question is, will they keep the name? [Miami Herald]

Hair stylist
I'm looking for an experienced stylist near Macon, GA that would be willing to trade services or be paid in simbi for hair cuts and maybe even a dye job.
I'm not sure what I want, but at present, I have long, dark brown hair that goes down to the bottom of my ribs. I'm interested in anything mid to long length that is easy-care (I hate investing time in anything but sleep in the mornings).
Let me know if you think you can help me out!

About Janelle Anderson
Hey ya'll! My name is Janelle and I'm used to wearing a ton of hats. I've been in so many roles at once that I actually burned myself out. So, I'm starting over with less! Now, I work as an administ...rative assistant for a great guy that lets me use my skills for fun (and by that, I mean work) and to help empower others to do what I love. My favorite hat to wear is "puppy mom" to that cute little Border Collie in my photo. Her name is Echo Isabella and she's the silliest, best thing. She was a rescue in Sept 2015, so we're still learning all of each others' quirks but she's my favorite. I love almost all things art, but couldn't imagine living on a "starving artist" salary, so I never pursued them . I'm thrilled to get to utilize those skills & passions to help YOU! (and help myself with the cool things you guys do!) Be sure to check out my offerings and see if anything would be ideal for you!show moreOpen to other proposals

text: For some months now, we've been talking about the iPhone 5S, with the presumption that Apple's next phone will be a modest step up from the present model. We might have been wrong with that thought.According to Stuff, a spy shot of Vodafone's inventory has been sent over to them, which lists '4G iPhone 6' as an upcoming product. That, of course, offers two interesting pieces of information.First up, it now looks like the next iPhone will be the iPhone 6 rather than the slight upgrade of an iPhone 5S. In addition, it looks like the phone will play nicely with Vodafone's yet-to-launch 4G network. That's likely to be a huge selling point, with the current iPhone 5 only being compatible with the EE 4G network right now.Apple's WWDC event kicks off on 10 June, with the possibility of a launch of the rumoured budget iPhone with plastic casing, along side the first glimpse of Apple's completely redesigned iOS 7 operating system.As for the iPhone 6, there's no news of a definite launch date, but we heard yesterday that after rumours of delays, parts are already arriving at manufacturers, with production kicking off as soon as July.Source: Stuff

As three division teams were winning 10 or more games last season, we often discussed the possibility that the NFC South is the best division in the NFL. That topic is always going to be open for debate.
But here's one thing I think we can say with certainty. The NFC South had a more exciting and interesting 2011 draft than any other division. From the Carolina Panthers' decision to take Cam "Mr. Love Him or Hate Him" Newton to the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints making big trades to get Julio Jones and Mark Ingram to Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers tumbling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round, this draft was filled with huge storylines and intrigue all around the division.
Let's take a look at the highlights of the NFC South draft:
The Saints played it safe with their first-round pick and took defensive end Cameron Jordan. That filled a big need that could become bigger if Will Smith eventually has to serve the four-game suspension that has been hung up in the legal system for a couple of years. But what the Saints did next was the real key to their draft.
They traded back into the first round to take Ingram. The cost was steep. The Saints gave up their second-round pick this year and their first-round choice in 2012. But next year's first-round pick could be deep in the 20s or 30s if things work out the way the Saints envision.
They already had a trio of role-playing running backs in Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory. Each of those players has certain things he can do well, but none of them is really a complete back. There also are durability concerns because all three were hurt at different parts of the past season, and the Saints ran out of running backs in their playoff loss to Seattle.
Ingram is a do-it-all back and history has shown that, unlike rookie quarterbacks and wide receivers, first-year running backs usually can step right in and make an impact from the start. Ingram already is drawing comparisons to former New Orleans running back Deuce McAllister, and I don't disagree at all.
Although I knew for about a month that the Panthers were pretty much set on Newton, I had my doubts that general manager Marty Hurney actually would pull the trigger when it came right down to it. Hurney and the Panthers have a long history of playing it safe and have taken the conservative approach for the past decade.
There's nothing conservative about choosing Newton. He's the classic boom-or-bust prospect. There were character and background questions, but the Panthers looked into that and didn't see anything that made them back off Newton. There also are questions about Newton being able to adapt to an NFL offense after playing only one year at Auburn in an offense that's nothing close to a pro-style scheme.
Even the Panthers aren't sure how Newton will adjust to the pro game. But they're so sold on the athletic ability and Newton's upside that they were willing to step totally out of character and take a leap. If Newton is what the Panthers hope, they'll be able to compete again in the NFC South. If not, this is the kind of move that can get a general manager, who survived a 2-14 season, fired a few years down the road.
The rumors started flying a few days before the draft that the Falcons were looking to jump into the top 10 and get a receiver. But most people, myself included, kind of dismissed that notion because moving that far up from No. 27 would be too expensive.
The cost was incredibly high, but the Falcons did it because they wanted an explosive receiver like Jones. They gave up their first-round pick this year, along with their second- and fourth-round picks. They also had to include their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012. That got them to No. 6, where they gladly took Jones.
The stunner here was the cost. But it appears the Falcons are going for broke, which isn't a bad move when you're coming off a 13-3 season. Atlanta added Jones to a passing attack with Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez and Matt Ryan, and Michael Jenkins and Harry Douglas as role players. By the way, the Falcons also traded up in the fifth round for Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers. He's the kind of speed back the Falcons need to pair with Michael Turner and Jason Snelling. I don't see how this offense can add much more to get better.
Go out and get a pass-rushing defensive end in free agency, and the Falcons truly could be a Super Bowl contender.
Of all the later-round picks, I think Tampa Bay's selection of Tennessee tight end Luke Stocker (the Bucs traded up to get him in the fourth round) is the one that could have the most impact. On the surface, the Bucs have a very good tight end in Kellen Winslow. He's got knee issues, and the Bucs do a nice job of resting him most of the week and getting him on the field on Sundays. But there's not a lot of depth behind him.
Jerramy Stevens was released last season after his latest off-field incident, and role player John Gilmore probably will depart as a free agent. That means Stocker has a chance to get some playing time pretty quickly. He's not the receiving threat Winslow is, but Stocker can catch some passes. More important, he's a strong blocker.
His presence should allow the Bucs to pick and choose their spots for putting Winslow on the field. Stocker can handle some of the obvious running downs and could even prompt the Bucs to use more two-tight end sets, which could add another dimension to the passing game for Josh Freeman.
More than anything, Stocker provides a nice insurance policy in case Winslow's knees really flare up. He's a guy who can do a little bit of everything that a tight end should. Yes, the early part of this draft was about defense and that was the correct move for the Bucs. But this franchise is built around Freeman, and this is another example of the Bucs doing everything they can to make sure their young quarterback has a strong supporting cast.

Gigi Hadid Would Like Internet Trolls to Stop Shaming Her Body
When you're a supermodel, things aren't always as peachy keen as they seem. Just ask Gigi Hadid, who took to her social media outlets today to let everyone know that being upheld as the standard of beauty in our society isn't what it's all cracked up to be – you still get unwanted haters. Hadid has been affected by negative comments she's been getting on social media lately, particularly about her body.
"No, I don't have the same body types as the other models in shows. No, I don't think I'm the best in any given show. Yes, I have a unique walk but I know I have to improve. No, I'm not the first or last model of my type in this industry," she wrote. "You can make up all the reasons as to why you think I am where I am, but really, I'm a hard worker, confident in myself, one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for change."

In the spring of 2013 Phil began work on his first novel, Blood of the Summoned, combining his fascination with history and his love of the fantasy and horror genres. His desire to tell the story of the fall of Anglo-Saxon England, one of the most captivating chapters in world history, was Phil's inspiration for setting his vampire tale in the actual time and place that inspired the fantasy worlds of Westeros and Middle Earth.
Blood of the Summoned takes you back to the last days of the Anglo-Saxon age and weaves a terrifying, new twist on traditional vampire lore seamlessly into the fabric of actual world events to create a paranormal historical thriller that is as fascinating as it is frightening.

Missing Progress: The TimelinePosted by Overkill on October 31, 2011 at 4:13 am under Uncategorized
Hello again.
It has been a while, it would seem. I've been rather silent about my work here lately, and although I post a lot of my progress on Twitter, it would be nice if some of this was also documented on my website.
Here is a timeline of sorts!
- More work on NES rom stuff, mainly just doodling mockups for an RPG scene.
Rough doodles. Playing with the idea of sprite layering to create interesting effects, and using tiles to create enemy artwork:
More fleshed out, fussing with the background pixels. In particular, the grass has been improved greatly, added water and an incomplete skyline. Slightly more refined and tile-aware, although obviously a mock.
- Started thinking about how to make a crappy map editor for my NES RPG project.
- Generally distracted by work.
- Molasses NES prototype. A simple sidescroller metasprite loader, tilemaps, and basic tile-based collision. Doesn't handle off-screen obstructions gracefully (wraps to other side of the map):
- March 6, 2011 – First official release of nel, an NES 6502 assembler (version 0.1.1). Written in D, supports many features that typical 6502 assemblers don't support, has a fairly flexible syntax that can be parsed with recursive descent and minimal ambiguity. Does multipass so symbol scopes can be handled intelligently, and a separate linker tool isn't necessary.
- March 16, 2011 – Let's Play Magna Braban started. Intentionally low production values. Typically recorded during late night, after a few drinks ingested.
- April 18, 2011 – Got the idea to possibly demake Eversion as an NES game (with Zara's blessing). Toyed with the possibility of converting some of the sprite art, kind of:
- April 18, 2011 – Finished Let's Play Magna Braban. Great art and music, funny story, too bad the programmers apparently overlooked the fact that full inventory access with no restrictions is horribly broken.
- April 19 – 20, 2011 – Started and finished Let's Play Gradius III. Apparently the enemy patterns are still fresh in my head.
- April 25, 2011 – Started and finished Let's Play Vector Knights. Vector Knights: You'll Die A Lot: The Game.
- April 26, 2011 – Started Let's Play Banana Nababa. As ustor put it, "Drunken banana nababa. You are a madman."
- May 1, 2011 – Attempted Ludum Dare 20, but realized I was out of time. But I made a timelapse of the development. I kind of had fun learning Flashpunk, and drawing weird Earthbound-like characters:
- May 10, 2011 – Wanted a scrolling map system, so prototyped a scroller demo to go along with nel:
- May 11, 2011 – Converted a lot of Eversion artwork to NES specs:
- May 15, 2011 – Made a tool for converting Eversion's SHINY engine maps (Verge2 .map files) into a raw byte format I could easily load on the NES.
Made my scroller demo bundled with nel use the first level maps from Eversion instead.
- May 9, 2011 – Continued Let's Play Banana Nababa. Beat the third boss, after taking a second attempt.
- June 3, 2011 – Started Let's Play La-Mulana. Was inspired to replay this after La-Mulana Wii's release date was announced in Japan.
- June 16, 2011 – Created a backloggery account. It's a tad depressing how many games own and haven't completed yet.
- June 25, 2011 – Played around with making NES scrolling and tile copying faster during vblank interrupts, so more tiles can be transferred per frame.
Turns out the absolute fastest way (provable by cycle-counting vblank routines) is to copy opcodes into RAM to generated unrolled tile copy loops from your main game loop. Then you can just call that code during vblank. This wastes a lot of time in your main loop, with a lot of extra work needed to buffer tiles that wasn't there before. It also requires a sizable chunk of RAM — 15 bytes to setup
@ppu.ctrlcopy stride, 10 bytes to tell
@ppu.addrwhere to locate the copy, and 5 bytes per subsequent tile copy to
However, if you do this, you get a decent savings. It allows for some pretty large tile copies to be made on-screen, and could be used for 2-axis scroll or quickly processing a game with destructible terrain that can regenerate.
The unrolled loop looks like this (although written as individual opcodes):
a: get #stride, put @ppu.ctrl // Set stride by clobbering the PPU ctrl. (5 bytes / 6 cycles) Vblank code will need to reset this afterwards. a: get #addr_hi, put @ppu.addr // Write address high to address register (5 bytes / 6 cycles) a: get #addr_lo, put @ppu.addr // Write address low to address register (5 bytes / 6 cycles) a: get #tile, put @ppu.data // Write first tile (5 bytes / 6 cycles) a: get #tile, put @ppu.data // Write second tile (5 bytes / 6 cycles) a: get #tile, put @ppu.tile // Write third tile (5 bytes / 6 cycles) // ... and so on. return // Done! (1 byte / 6 cycles)
The actual code to generate such unrolled loops is somewhat more frightening. I won't get into that.
Using that general method of buffering things, I made an updated Eversion map scroller, as well as a screen-wipe effect demo.
- Moved to a new apartment!
- Got a job offer out of country! Suddenly, need to find a new place, and fill out paperwork!
- Wrapped up my old job!
- Dungeons of Dredmor came out!
- Very little work was done.
- Home for a week!
- Vacation!
- Home for half a week!
- August 18, 2011 – Second release of nel, the NES assembler (version 0.2)!
Now with if statements, while statements, repeat statements, enum declarations, more flexible ROM sizing and relocation statements, a scroller demo. Other fun. See the documentation!
- Moved to California. Slept on an air mattress.
- Work started!
- Vaguely remember working on this, amongst all the chaos:
- Bank card!
- Mattress!
- Desk!
- Real furniture!
- Tired. No games.
- Still tired.
- Someone contacted me out of the blue to work on GBC homebrew! The actual project is ongoing, in secret. But here are nondescript test programs of some minor things, to tide you over:
- Suddenly, TIGJam 4 appears! This was lots of fun. Met many inspiring people, saw a ton of cool games, and I was inspired to work on things again!
I got the C++ for Plum, my Lua game engine compiling in MSVC 2010 on my newer netbook, then I spent time converting Molasses's old Verge maps into tiled maps. Managed to make my Molasses Meow demo work after rejiggering the Lua code from my Verge project. And the reception during demo night of TIGJam made me feel like I should probably see this through. Things were good!
Here, have another screen:
I've been brainstorming ways to improve the map design of Molasses Meow. Basically it boils down to sparser powerup collection, and more interesting environments to interact with. Taking an idea from Star Tropics, I was thinking of having fairly simplistic button-hitting puzzles. You bump into buttons on floors, ceilings and walls, and then something simple happens as a reaction to that.
Also came up with an idea that goes with the enemy capture system. Basically, after capturing guys, you'd bring them to an ominous looking room and crush them into tetris-style puzzle pieces. Each creature type would map to a unique piece. You'd then use those pieces to build a tower to the final area, in the outer reaches of space.
That brings us to today. It is barely still October, but I'm still working on stuff. It goes slowly but steadily. This is a rather long timespan to not post on my site, but I'm hoping this mega-post makes up for that lack of posting. Maybe future posts will be of somewhat more sane length.
Until next time,
— Overkill
Man so much beautiful artwork! Your style is genuinely unique, and I'd love to see any of these projects finished.
Finally! I knew my incessant whining, cajoling, and jeering would eventually make you post. Sorry about that.
Good to see you back in the game. :D
I want to echo what Jasper said; your art has come a long way, and just keeps getting better. I'm jealous of what you accomplish with such limited palettes! Keep it up, man.
Thanks for the comments, guys! :D
All of this positive feedback is encouraging. Things are slow-going, but I will see about completing at least one of these projects.

Reader: Every Ignorant Redneck in Denver Complains That the BBQ Sucks
Wayne's Smoke Shack, our Best Barbecue in the Best of Denver 2015.
Wayne's Smoke Shack
After we served up our summer 2015 edition of the Ten Best Barbecue Joints in Denver, readers quickly weighed in: Where was Golden's Tin Star? Longmont's Georgia Boys? Or Jabo's, which had made the summer 2014 list? And then there's Robert, who thinks Denver doesn't have any good 'cue. Responds Martin:
I hear this all the time...then I eat down South and have some terrible BBQ there. We have good BBQ here...just gotta look further than one or two places.
Adds John:
Every ignorant redneck in the city complains that the BBQ sucks. Is all these people eat BBQ and Catfish?
Says Sudz:
Oh, puleeze! The bum BBQ rap is the same as the "no bagels, pizza, green chili, burger, burro, haute cuisine" or whatever tired putdown omission by some whiner who hasn't taken the time to search out what's available and instead prefers to wax on about how good it was whereever the cave was that they crawled out of. I've had plenty of solid BBQ of varied styles in Denver and found it far from lacking.
What do you think of the barbecue in Denver? Of the ten spots that made our list?

I just got my RMHD a few months ago, and I'm not used to the gallery's UI. It is displaying my pictures from everywhere on the phone (both on-board and SD card storage). I'm talking music videos from my isyncr folder on the SD card, and cashed photos of workout exercises on the phone's storage.
How do I filter the photos to just the ones I want to see, like camera, downloads, and the like? I can't find a settings option in the gallery where you can do this. I know about the trick where you add a period in front of the folder to prevent it from displaying, but some folders are still displaying (for example .folder1>folder2>photo.jpg). the stuff in folder 2 will still display. Is there another way to hide EVERYTHING under a particular folder without going to the folder just before the picture (there are a lot under .folder 1)?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide! Let me know if you need any more description for the problem.

We have developed a unique numerical laser model by use of a commercial physical optics software package. The experimentally measured lasing threshold, slope efficiency, power output distribution, and phase front have been derived. This model is particularly powerful for monitoring the effects caused by thermal distortions encountered in power scaling lasers. Extrapolations have been made through parametric studies to predict changes required in the laser design that would optimize the performance of the laser.

Sermon Illustrations
The Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, W. Wiersbe, p. 184
William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was brushing his mane-like white hair when his son Bramwell stepped into the room. "Bramwell!" he cried. "Did you know that men sleep out all night on the bridges?" "Well, yes," the son replied. "A lot of poor fellows I suppose do that." "Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself to have known it and to have done nothing for them!" his father retorted. And when the son began to talk about the Poor Law program, General Booth waved a hand and said, "Go and do something! We must do something!" "What can we do?" "Get them a shelter!" "That will cost money," replied Bramwell. "Well, that is your affair. Something must be done. Get hold of a warehouse and warm it, and find something to cover them. But mind, Bramwell, no coddling!" That was the beginning of Salvation Army shelters.

Adrian Lyne
Jump to
At once hailed by movieg rs and reviled by critics, filmmaker Adrian Lyne was an Academy Award-nominated director and producer of such erotically-charged features as "Flashdance" (1983), "Nine ½ Weeks" (1986), "Fatal Attraction" (1987) and "Unfaithful" (2002). Lyne's films were balanced carefully on the line between art and exploitation - while impeccably polished and produced, his pictures never shied away from depicting the darker - and more titillating - aspects of human sexuality in graphic ways. Although popular with audiences, his films were routinely dismissed as glossy, empty-headed Hollywood product. Lyne responded to such criticism with more arthouse-oriented fare like "Jacob's Ladder" (1990) and "Lolita" (1997), making him a filmmaker harder to define that critics would care to admit.

Washington (AFP) March 13, 2013
Most American teenagers use their phones to access the Internet, with one-fourth of them going online mostly on their mobile device, a survey showed Wednesday.
Some 78 percent of US teens have a cell phone, and 47 percent of those own smartphones, according to the survey by the Pew Internet Project with Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.
It found 74 percent of teens have mobile Internet access and one in four are "cell-mostly" Internet users, more than the 15 percent of the adult population in this category who go online without a desktop or laptop computer.
Fully 95 percent of teens are online, a percentage that has been consistent since 2006, the researchers found. But the patterns of Internet use have changed as more users go mobile.
"In many ways, teens represent the leading edge of mobile connectivity, and the patterns of their technology use often signal future changes in the adult population," the researchers wrote.
"Teens are just as likely to have a cell phone as they are to have a desktop or laptop computer. And increasingly these phones are affording teens always-on, mobile access to the Internet -- in some cases, serving as their primary point of access."
Tablets are also gaining ground, with 23 percent having access to one of these devices, the survey found.
The research, which interviewed some 800 parents and 800 youth from the ages of 12-17, found that teen girls are especially likely to be cell-mostly Internet users: 34 percent, compared with 24 percent of boys ages 14-17.

Katz 4 Keeps, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization located in Ponte Vedra Beach, was created for the rescue of abandoned and unwanted felines. The kittens and adult cats are sheltered and medically and physically cared for in preparation for adoption into "4-Ever Homes."
Founder Mary Boushie began rescuing cats in 2003, soon after moving to Ponte Vedra Beach from Los Angeles. By 2005, she formed a more structured rescue operation and to date Katz 4 Keeps has rescued and placed over 400 cats and kittens. Most of the rescues have been adopted by individuals and families in Ponte Vedra Beach and Jacksonville Beach, but their cats come from across Jacksonville. Katz 4 Keeps does not "charge" an adoption fee; however, donations are appreciated, and necessary, to supplement operations.
Boushie has chosen to pursue this path in recognition of a profound need to help cats who are victims of our 'disposable' society. The cats she rescues come from all education and income levels and it is her belief that the perceived 'cat population program' isn't the 'fault' of the cats; but instead the fault of people who don't take responsibility to spay or neuter their pets. Katz 4 Keeps wants to be part of the solution.
The new facility located A1A North in Ponte Vedra Beach is limited in the number of cats they can handle at any given time. Currently they are capacity – relative to the number of volunteers working with Katz 4 Keeps. Boushie is actively seeking volunteers who would like to be a part of the Katz 4 Keeps program.
Who can volunteer?
* Katz 4 Keeps requires mature women, who tend to be disciplined when working independently. Volunteers are 'teamed' for efficiency and security.
* Volunteers need to be 17 years or older and willing to commit to a minimum of 1.5 hours each week.
* Volunteers can be high school students needing to earn community service hours.
Students 12-17 years old can be included in "The Luv 'Em Up Bunch', a cat-socializing organization where kids can visit and play with the cats and ALSO talk with visitors who may be interested in adopting one of the felines.
Kittens and cats come to Katz 4 Keeps from various sources: they're found on the highway or local streets, in dumpsters at restaurants, grocery stores and apartment buildings; on hotel properties and the beach. They're left in boxes at veterinary clinics, and they're abandoned in apartments or houses when people leave. They're rescued from abandoned cars or found under cars at convenience stores (where people drop them hoping someone will pick them up). Sometimes kittens are brought in because they may be very sick or injured, but . . .they're always grateful than they can help them.
All the kittens and cats in the program are tested for feline AIDS and feline leukemia (not communicable to humans or canines, but communicable within the cat population, mainly through fighting). They are then tested and treated for intestinal parasites and fleas; given a bath, started on inoculations and either spayed (female) or neutered (male). It's quite a process over several weeks, but very rewarding when Boushie watches a "forlorn," or border-line "feral" cat or kitten with no expression, transform into a beautiful, happy and healthy adoptable cat. Several families return for a second (even third!) cat.
Katz 4 Keeps has a passionate team of volunteers, currently 30 women and men. They are responsible for cleaning the cats' cages and interacting with the cats 24/7, 365 days a year. Realizing that cats respond positively to the love expressed by children, there is a program for children 12-17 years of age called the "Luv 'Em Up Bunch". Their responsibility includes holding and caressing the kittens and cats, encouraging them to play and interact with humans. Each child completes an application to enter the program, receive a 30-minute orientation and sign in when visiting the facility. The program has been accepted as an avenue for earning community service hours for various organizations.
Boushie states "Sometimes I can't remember how all this started, and sometimes it's a bit "daunting," but in my heart I know I'm in the right place and doing the right thing. I have the support of a wonderful husband who respects what I have chosen to do at this stage of my life, and a wonderful team of volunteers who believe in our mission".
To rescue abandoned and unwanted felines and medically, physically and emotionally rehabilitate them in preparation for their "4-ever homes."

If we canonicalize inside of APR, then we lose information. There are only a few ways around this, and they are require the use of either global memory or thread-private memory. That is all very non-portable, which means that in all error conditions, we not only have to call the original APR function, but also an APR function for thread-private memoryh. > Canonicalizing the errors returned by APR in the routines of special interest to > Apache (and there are maybe half a dozen or so) works acceptably in the sense > that the information lost in these special cases is not significant. However, > the hack violates the spirit of APR and the principle of least astonishment in > that Apache may begin making code path decisions on return codes to routines > that do not canonicalize their return codes. No routine should be canonicalizing their return codes. It is just that simple. By canonicalizing in some routines and not in others, things break, and this horribly violates the principle of least astonishment. > We are paying dearly in code cruftiness for the decision to not lose > any error status inside APR (and, BTW, we are still falling down here > in the current APR design as Jeff has pointed out on multiple > occasions). I would prefer an APR design that canonocalized I thought we had solved all of those problems. Jeff, where are there still problems with the APR error values? The code cruftiness is just not an issue. We make like ten calls to apr_canonize_error in all of Apache. Dean raised this one a while ago, and we all basically agreed it wasn't an issue. > apr_status_t to Unix/Posix errno values and provided a facility for > retrieving operating system specific errors in an auxillary call > (e.g., apr_get_last_error() or apr_get_os_error()) in the cases where > the info is needed. This is outside the mainline path so should not It isn't necessarily a question of it being a performance hit, and it is MUCH cruftier than what we are currently doing. As I said above, this would require either global or thread-local storage. Everytime we wanted to report a platform specific error (read: most times ap_log_error_core is called) we would need to use thread-local storage. The ap_log_error code is called far more times that ap_error_canonize is currently called. > cause a performance hit. Obviously, you need to save the data in > thread local storage in the threaded APR case. Again, this shouldn't > be a performance hit at all in the non-error case and performance in > the error case is just not relevant. I thoroughly disagree that this is not relevant. It requires a call to APR's thread local storage stuff throughout the server. This also requires adding a key variable to some structure in Apache. I haven't got a clue where it would be added, I guess we would need some thread structure that we could hang off the request_rec, but that won't be enough.
