I stayed up yesterday night to watch the match, and the sleep lost was well worth it. A quick goal by Deco had me worried that Chelsea would lose, but a stunner from Lampard solved that problem. Gudjohnsen struck back at his old team, but a 93rd minute goal by Drogba(he is now scored 5 goals in 4 matches) put the match on a draw, enough to ensure chelsea goes clear and a small chance of Barca getting eliminated at this stage.…

Here is a simple KDE ambigram I made in Inkscape. KDE is a perfect word for ambigramming. Not only is it a rotational ambigram, but a flip one too as well as a mirror ambigram. How cool is that! …

Lasermania is complete! I frantically coded the evening day before yesterday and yesterday morning in a 'flow' state and now Lasermania is working properly with no known bugs right now (though I am sure more will emerge). The mirrors reflect fine, its fast and responsive and about the only thing left is designing fun and interesting levels for it. The first 4 are done but I am trying to think of harder ones.…

Recently KDE celebrated 10 years of its existence. And they have been an amazing and fruitful 10 years in which the linux desktop scene has changed radically. KDE has been the major reason for this. In 10 years it has come from a clunky looking blocky desktop to an elegant piece of software which makes proprietary desktops sweat. KDE has been untainted by bureaucracy and controversies, has a good record as far as open source software is concerned and is expected to gather even more accolades with KDE 4.…

KDE 3.5.5 is expected to be released tommorrow atleast from what it says in the release announcement which is as of now unpublished and which i got from another blog. The news is already on LXer so lets hope it does happen tommorrow. It will be good if it can boot even faster than right now Technorati Tags: kde 3.5.5, kde, linux, free desktop …

Lasermania finally has something to see moving. Its this game where you have to arrange specific mirrors in proper places to guide a photon from emitter to reciever. Its written in pygame/python. In the screenshot you can see the photon(red dot) to the right. The emitter now fires a photon, drag and drop works(almost), only the mirror logic is left. …

Yesterday I had a really bad half and hour when for some reason the very bad thought of leaving school/college after 12th came in my head. After studying there for 5 years, having so many good friends, people you like, a large campus to have fun in, the countless hours spent playing football or doing lots of cool stuff in the labs, it all suddenly came back to me and stayed with me until I slept.…

For some reason my blog on xmgfree.com is gone, along with my posts. So this is my new blogspace. So I haven't posted in a really, really long time. This is because I have been busy and never got much interested in posting what I was up to. So anyway in programming my newest game is on the path to completion. Its written in Python/Pygame and is a puzzle where you arrange various mirrors to guide a photon of light from the emitter to the reciever.…
