Stuff: A news aggregator in 3d

http://anomalousunderdog.herobo.com/Unity/Stuff/

A work-in-progress 3d RSS reader, similar to the RSS Visualizer in Mac OS X. More than this, its planned to also slideshow showing Twitter tweets, time of day for different countries, images from a folder/website (demotivational posters, wallpapers, etc.), text from a folder/website (word of the day, etc.), weather data, and even perhaps video podcasts.

I originally envisioned this to be displayed in a large LCD screen in our office.

HHHhUUUUuRRRrrrRRrrRRRRR! A RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR POLYCOUNT

Your framerate is your life. In HHHhUUUUuRRRrrrRRrrRRRRR, you fight badly created 3d models in a never-ending effort to bring your framerates to an acceptable value.

HHHhUUUUuRRRrrrRRrrRRRRR is a non-work project I'm making in my free-time. Only a work-in-progress main menu intro animation has been uploaded so far. Check it out here: http://anomalousunderdog.herobo.com/Unity/Hurrr/

Back To The Oct 29 2099

Check it out, my first try at uploading something to the Unity Asset Store. Its pending review but here it shows the preview of what it'll look like back... to the future!

Random Random Word Generator updated!

Its now called Random Name Generator to make it more specific.

Method 3 is added, making a word that follows some rules based on the last letter chosen.

Recently I got "Narlet", which I think is a very good female name.

Random Random Word Generator

I made a random word generator a very long time ago when I was a kid.

The first one was made in Visual Basic 6, now I made a new one as a web page, also using this opportunity to learn jQuery and jQuery UI.

Its going to spout out nonsensical words that likely don't exist in any language (however, just now I got the word "Sayako" which I think is a Japanese name). I used it to help me make up names for my stories.

Method 1 generates a word out of all English letters without any pattern. Method 2 tries to be more refined by alternating between a consonant and a vowel when choosing letters.

A little story: One time in the first version of this program, I just kept on clicking the Generate button rapidly and it spewed this sequence of words:
(a bunch of random words)
I
AM
(then a bunch of random words)

Did my computer gain sentience, or was God talking to me?

I don't always get doubles, but when I do, check 'em

So I tried downloading Fist of the North Star demo on PSN. After I chose Download in Background, it put me back to the cart list with the option to download that same game still available.

Baffled, I thought the initial download request didn't work so I chose to download it again. Still the same, so I quit PSN Store and looked at my download queue.

What the flying fuck is this? There's an option to pause a download but no option to delete it as far as I can see.

EDIT: Ok, turns out "Cancel" aborts the download, and not cancel as in exit from the options menu.
