First contact with Meego in a ExoPC Slate
16/02 21:14
First of all I must thank Intel for the oportunity of going to their AppLab.
In this lab we got introduced to MeeGo and to AppUp, they showed us how to program a couple of simple apps with their SDK 1.2 and we got an ExoPC with MeeGo to develop on the device.
This post is dedicated to the ExoPC with MeeGo and to the first impressions it gives to me.
Lets start with the hardware of ExoPC Slate, the fabricant fabricant web says this tablet has:
-Multitouch capacitative screen of 11,6 inches (1366×768).
-2GB RAM.
-Intel Atom Pineview-M N450 1.66 GHz – 64 bit support
-Intel GMA 3150 BROADCOM Crystal HD 1080p
-Webcam 1.3MP
Weights 950g and is 295 x 195 x 14.0 mm.
For more data: fabricant web.
The tablet (has only one button).

Edit video recorded with the TDT .ts
15/12 17:27
I needed to edit a video recorded with my TDT (saved in .TS format in my case). I used Total Video Converter to change the format to an AVI to edit it with another program (I normally use Virtual Dub for these little things).
Total Video converter is a paid app, its trial versión puts a watermark in our converted video, but if you are not too lazy you will find a solution to that.
How to get rid of the rust of your rusted stuff!
05/12 22:40
My flatmate has some rusted scissors and he wanted to get rid of the rust of them and he said that sinking them in coke would work. After googling a bit I’ve found a “home-made trick” that adviced to rub with an aluminium foil ball wet with coke. And it works!

Achron RTS with time travelling!
30/11 19:07
Achron its the first (that I know) RTS with the chance to go back in time and re-do whatever you did or travel to the future to create more troops and send them back in time to help you fight a past battle.
Does your head hurt of only thinking about it? The game developers say its designed with ease of use and simplicity in mind. Its easy to use but hard to master.
The game is in his Alpha state, wich means thats not complete and that they are still working on a lot of stuff but you can pre-order the game and play with the version that they have running at the moment. Before the publishment of the game there is going to be a public beta. I think it will be soon, they want to have this game in january of 2011 in the market.
By the way, it will work on Windows, Mac and Linux :) (or at least they are trying!) They are working on tools to make the users able to produce maps and anything you may think for the game for having a nice community around the game.
Watch some videos (after the bump) to understand better the game:

Kinect OpenSource Driver!
12/11 16:35
I reblog (a bit late probably) that there is already an OpenSource driver for Kinect, that thing of the XBOX360 for playing without controller… but that has a lot of possibilities in other areas like robotics.
Here you can watch a video of his autor:
Here you can find an interview (in spanish) with Héctor Martin Cantero, the autor of this publication: http://www.elmundo.es/blogs/elmundo/mundoplayer/2010/11/11/el-hacker-espanol-de-kinect-se-trata-de.html
And here is the web of the project.

Can I run X game on my computer?
12/11 16:12
A friend told me about a web that tells you if your computer is able to run some specific game (minium requirements. Its very easy to use, you just need to acces from Internet Explorer (no plz!) or Firefox, choose the game and push the “CanYouRunIt?” button. It will ask you to install a little Java package or an ActiveX control to analize your pc, and in some seconds you’ll have the results.
The web is: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/
