The Simpsons opening in Minecraft
FB: http://tiny.cc/c80fd | Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/CraftedMovie Here's our forum: http://craftedmovie.com Got the idea from you! Again! This is the video that took the most time in the decoration and skin making! Bouledeneige found and made a whole bunch of skins, thanks to him! (and thanks to Beardpuller for the acting part) Yo. Seems that people are mad at us because we didn't give credit to some people. The city is made by us, not by Minecraft is Awesome. But they did a better job than us, go check them out! And there is a skin named Fumblemore, from the YOGSCAST series (slighty modified by us for the yellow skin). Oh yea, the song, is the Simpsons theme. YES I KNOW, THE MAGGIE BLOCK IS HORRIBLE! And Marge looks like Mr. Potato!Last Dance || BarneyღRobin
How amazing was the premiere for BR? I can't get over that dance scene. I needed to make a vid and I thought that song was fitting pretty well and I love it so much! Nothing much to say there, just showing my love and support for Barney/Robin.iOS PhoneGap – Splash screen control
Unfortunately a splash screen is still needed to hide the white flash that is visible just before the UIWebView loads its content. Previously before PhoneGap 1.0, you had no control over this – sometimes your content just takes an extra time to load and you want to control the duration of the splash screen.
There are two steps to enable this, firstly – in PhoneGap.plist, change the value for “AutoHideSplashScreen” to false (by default it is true for legacy code). This will not hide the splash screen, and it will remain on screen indefinitely.
Next, in your code, you will have to explicitly hide the splash screen.
After the deviceready event has been fired, you can call this function anytime you are ready:
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
If you want to just delay hiding the splash screen for 2 seconds for example, you can do this in your deviceready event handler:
setTimeout(function() {
navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, 2000);
Oh yeah, we released 1.8!
We released Minecraft Beta 1.8! It’s the first half of the Adventure Update, with the...Create your own BBC QRCode
A few years ago, when I was working as an engineer on the BBC Programmes website, we started creating a QRCode for every BBC programme. Here's an example for Dr Who. A QRCode if you are unfamiliar, is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) designed to be read by smartphones.
Back then, these codes were relatively new to the public at large, and people had only really scratched the surface of the things you can do with them. It seems though that things have changed. You are now seeing them on the side of buses and on tube train adverts, as well as on posters and in magazines. This is great, and allowed me to unearth some extra work I did back then.
I had done some experimenting with embedding the BBC logo into QRCodes. This work never quite saw the light of day. But I'm happy to say that now it has! Albeit in a slightly different form.
I have created a little prototype web application that will convert any BBC url into a BBC QRCode. You can see an example below. If you have a suitable QRCode scanner, this will decode to http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd.
The url for the application is: http://qrcode.prototyping.bbc.co.uk
The generated QRCodes can then be downloaded and used on posters, websites etc. Anywhere in fact you need to graphically represent a url. Easy!
A few facts about the application. It is a simple Sinatra web application, running under Nginx and Passenger. It uses ImageMagick and rQRCode to create the QRCodes, and uses the Bit.ly API to create the shortened bbc.in url that is embedded in the codes. The application uses rack-cache and the individual QRCode pages live at unique urls in which the code is embedded in the actual webpage using the data uri scheme. This not only makes the page easier to cache, but also means that we can mitigate people hot-linking to the images.
Finally, you can get the source from our R&D Github repository.
