Proof of Concept: TwittBot

Well for the last few evenings I have been working on this little proof of concept. One of my work colleague Ade (@6t8) came up with the idea "someone should make a game that you can play over twitter". Well after abit of excitement and talk I decided to have a go at coding this idea. Once I had started I realised that it could be possible to do alot more with this, so I decided to make the project a little more generic and turn it into a pluggable bot for automating twitter.

After a few evenings work however I decided that this project was going to take up a bit too much of my time, especially when I had so much other work to do. So I have decided to release what I have done and let other take it and develop it if they wish.

Tilt-Shift Video

This is the first time I have heard of the photography technique known as "Tilt-Shift". I dont know why but it appeals to me on some fundamental level :P

Paul Oakenfold's Urban Soundtracks

As I enjoy both trance music and audio books, so what could be better than mixing both together?

This is an interesting project by one of the master of electronica Paul Okenfold. Some of them work better than others, give them a listen and let me know what you think :)

Paul Oakenfold's Urban Soundtracks - Selected passages from narrated stories such as; Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher. Narration is mixed with music, mostly trance/electronica, to enhance the story. Heard on Galaxy FM

Acoustic Cover of Binary Finary's 1998

This is one of my favourite tunes of all time, glad someone has covered it, even if the quality of the video is crap. Hopefully someone one will do a better version :)

Niflheim & Flash Hacking

Stumbled accross this thing just now. I have heard of this method of flash hacking, but I didnt realise it was so easy to do nor people had actually made special applications to do it!



I guess I need to think of ways of hiding these critical variables within my code, or perform some sort of sanity checks perhaps.

EDIT: Quasimondo on Twitter informs me that "The Cheat Engine" appears to be the default tool of the trade for flash memory hacking.
