Today we were with my girlfriend to see Bizet’s “Carmen” at the Cracow Opera – celebrating one of your special days. The opera didn’t move me as much as Rigoletto did, but it still was a great spectacle in 4 acts. One has to say that the scene was heavily and very creatively used, as [...]

Zen points directly to the human heart,
see into your nature and become Buddha.
- Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768)

For those who don’t know about zen coding (where have you been guys?) here’s a little sample:
Instead of writing:
<form class=”form-comment” id=”comment”>
<fieldset>
<input id=”myid” name=”name” type=”" />
<input onclick=”hideMe()” type=”" />
</fieldset>
</form>
You write

form.form-comment#comment>fieldset>input#myid[name=name]>input[onclick=hideMe()]
and hit [TAB].
To understand zen, you must understand yourself. (yet I also [...]

It’s an increadibly tought time now at my Uni, lots and lots of exams, stuff to hand in etc… One of such things is this simple blender animation which I have created with my friend Tomek in order to pass Graphics class:

Yeah it’s simple, rough anc certainly not the next Katedra… ;-) But as a [...]

I am currently working on a simple but still quite fun/interesting (as is any project with a new framework :-)) webapp using Google Web Toolkit (it’s basically Google’s JEE framework for creating RIA). The webapp is an online crossword generator. The goal is to provide crosswords online and allow users solving them online with a [...]

Yeah! It’s time for another great JUG meeting. I’ll have to go quite far this time, as it’ll be in Poznań and that’s about 7h by train from Cracow… but at the very moment I saw who was going to be there, that is: Geertjan Wielenga (whose blog I’ve been reading for a long long [...]

Some may think that today is only special because of Christmas, for most people that’s right I guess. But 25.12.2009 is even more special to me this time as today is the 1024th day I’ve been together with my girlfriend – now that’s a fun “coincidence‘ (if you believe in such things ;-)
Merry X-Mas and [...]

As any JEE interested developer I’ve heard lots of praise aimed at JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. And then it became open source… Of course I tried it out right away and was shocked how brilliant it was. Some days ago version 9.0 was introduced – still with both an open source and an normal proprietary license. [...]

I’m learning Numerical Analysis right now and a friend of mine found some really nice PS files by dr Marian Bubek ( http://www.icsr.agh.edu.pl/~mownit/mownit.html ). I was really happy to see some *.ps but some people from my fellow students started complaining that they’d rather have pdf’s and not ghostscript files (who knows why they’d do..?). [...]

With this simple box i’ve learned a little about the “wave” property in blender. This, a little subsurv and smooth subdivision can actually be quite OK for creating a simple ribbon like the one below:The final render looked like this:

My first blender animation:

The wine doesn’t look nor feel nor even behave like normal wine but it’s just my first animation so there’s still time left for me to improve… ;-)
