Designed a new website for DMDB WebCommuncatie (dutch)

Working a lot on sculptypaint, a 3D model editor/manipulator. Sculpties were introduced in Second Life around 25may 2007, and a lot of people are looking for easy way to create 3D models, since most 3D software packages are a pain to learn to a lot of people.

Started to adjust some of my shockwave animations, since the latest shockwave plug-in update; my mouse position/calculation is handled different then before, with some nasty interaction result, the only solution now, trying to fix most of those movies I created in shockwave for the last few years.

Just finished this commercial webdesign-job for a dutch info/commercial site: www.zorgverzekeraars.nl
This site gives information about the new 2005 changes for the dutch healthcare system. (and will be online for about 4 months)

Created in 5 days (@ 8 hours); design, coding & 42 html pages. All of the navigation & design is controlled with one stylesheet and one javascript. (accept for the homepage). Making it very flexible to add or change; the text, global design or the navigation.

Although it`s just a 'static' website, no database or serverside scripting, using javascript to change navigation or design, gives a lot of flexibillity, just edit this javascript-file, and the whole site, including all the html-pages will change on the fly.

This pixel-lab need a makeover as well, since the design & code hasn`t been changed for the last 3 years. Well if I`ve any time, I will.

2004/11/24

Just (almost) finished this site: www.outsiderseries.nl
"The Outsider Series" is an art project in the form of a television series, internet and promotional campaign. Through the project, Peter Distol gives his amazing mother, Tanya Distol, an audience to share her adventures with. By telling her story, Tanya reflects a mentality and a larger group of people. The goal of the project is to reach that group. Bring spotlight to, encourage and even literally help them.

Been busy doing different stuff, like thinking/coding about a new design for this lab. xhtml/xml this time?! No more tables?! pure div`s?! dynamic javascripted menu`s etc.

Still doing vj-gigs all around, and the party 2004/01/09 utp-utrecht(nl) rocked :)

Started in diggin into & building some vj-software this time based on the free dev-c++ from bloodshed.net. I had stop working with SDL, because it doesn`t support dual screen/window support. So digging into ms-window stuff, and trying to find the same alternative thing for my 'new' debian linux-box. (and it will go opensource, somewhere in the future.)

new! > processing @ the pixel-lab

quoted from proce55ing.net
Processing is a context for exploring the emerging conceptual space enabled by electronic media. It is an environment for learning the fundamentals of computer programming within the context of the electronic arts and it is an electronic sketchbook for developing ideas.

The software is currently in a prerelease stage, but bug fixes are being made as we head toward a more complete "1.0" release. Processing will be free to download and available for Mac, PC, and Linux.

Processing is an open project initiated by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It is currently developed in the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab, the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, and by a group of distributed developers across the Net.

atty Another 'portret' series v.002 is online, this time 'atty' (coding; java)

I also put another older experiment in the 2003 section called 'alper' (.exe coding; c/openGL) although it really needs a fast graphic card to perform ok.

Almost everyday I`m hanging around at test-portal (14-31 august in Amsterdam).

Busy preparing stuff for test-portal that will happen from 14-31 august in Amsterdam. I will perform with the open digi party/offline collective.
