A few weeks ago Digg had a post on how to google search for exposed webcameras. The cameras typically had pan, tilt, zoom and focus control. Being the Jitter nerd that I am, I immediatly wrote a quick patch to pull in and control a webcam via a jitter patch. It worked, but jit.uldl has […]

Ive updated my variant of superDraw to use some of the new jitter 1.6 features (render to texture support and jit.gl.imageunits). Really powerful. Ive attempted to make my own nebulae-ic imagry like Spore - but rather than any actual interesting mathematical genesis, im just fiddle about with […]

Marlon pointed me to Spawner - an genetic/evolutionary graphics toolkit by Derek Gerstman, which is now out for Jitter (Windows only for now). The source is available, so I am attempting to compile it for OS X (yeah right.. like i’ll get that to work..). Spawner can produce some pretty nice imagery if you are […]

Quartz Composer < ---> MAX/MSP Jitter Cocoa interface is a cocoa app that lets one open up a Quartz Composer patch and send it via local (or non) UDP Sockets (via OSC) to Jitter. Pretty goddamn impressive. Unfortunately I do not see a download link, but it looks real enough. This could open up […]

Ive been coding up some nice additions and fixes in Visor. Alcor from blacktree (the makers of the amazing quicksilver alternative ui to Mac OS X) has accepted my code into the main SVN source. Fun.

Update: Ive actually edited the code and the icon a bit. The terminal session now ’slides’ out as it slides in, and the icon is more.. ahem.. terminal-y. Original Code and all of the hard work is still by Alcor..

Im trying to no longer post about Mac related stuff, but ALCOR from […]

I saw this today and was a bit annoyed. I recently purchased an Icom IR-3 and the DD9000 seems to have a greater upper range to capture 2.4Ghz RF video (the Icom can only capture channels 1 2 and sometimes 3, not 4 or above). This seems like a much better solution for picking up […]
