This is the personal site of electronics enthusiast, freelance web developer and professional geek James Waples.
Poking around about somewhere is the Wallpaper Gallery, along with some Tutorials and jQuery Plugins to boot.
I put my work/tutorials up for free in the hope that it may one day help someone, somewhere, doing something productive.
If you find any of my work useful or helpful, please consider donating via PayPal, or Flattring me using the Donate and Flattr this buttons respectively. Thank you.
I've had a couple of chat robots add me on MSN recently. I hate their creators (if you can call a script kiddie in eastern Europe anything more than a mindless ape) with a passion, but the robots themselves are fun to fuck about with.
The first one was a delight to talk to. The algorithms used to sniff out words are, as expected, absolutely rubbish. Just writing robot over and over again prompts the same response.
For my first encounter with the enlightened, take a look at the log here, and for the second have a squiz at this one.
I haven't done much to JamWaffles recently (apart from remove the comments system due to too much spam), but here we have an update to the OpenGL WaveFront loader tutorial.
There is now a complete header and .cpp file explanation, as well as a downloadable project (scroll to the bottom). The current state of the tutorial only loads geometry and normals, but it's a good start!
The jQuery plugins page has a new addition; Mr Slyde! Mr Slyde is a jQuery slider input plugin. It's much the same as jQuery UI's one, but not as bloated or crap.
