Batch Image Resizing

Image
I was quite surprised not to find any Resize Bunch of Images function in Windows Vista. I was used to the Image resizer powertoy for Win XP, which added this exact functionality to the explorer context menu. Anyway, I found the solution: VSO Image Resizer!! Its free and it does the trick (except for the context menu thingie, but that's fine enough).

Console Event Handling

Today I was looking around fro a way to intercept exit events for a c# console application. I found out there is no 'simple' way to do it, you have to import a win3d API function as explained HERE . I need to do this for my Edanarion server application. Server should be shut down gracefully through a console command, but it should also take care of shutdowns through console window closing.

Edanarion News

Posted some new screenshot of Milestone 9 (Prometheus). You can find them here .

Pre-Alpha

The intial version of my site is up. It still lacks content, but the style and layout are completed. I'll start creating project pages as soon as I can. Layout & theme has undergone major modifications from its original version (the Primitive Element) one. I got a 2-column flexible layout out of a 3-column fixed one. Experimenting with it I learned quite a lot about CSS and table-less layouts. The site has been tested only on IE 7 so far, I definitely need to run it on other browsers to see if the layout remains stable.

Here It Begins

I started working on my own site. Finally. I'm trying to use a consistent style across the site and the blog. I'm satistfied with the result so far even if it can still be tweaked a little bit. The current theme is a mix of the PrimiteElement theme from Free CSS Templates and the Minimal Dark Blogger theme.
