Sky Panda makes the "What's Hot" list in iTunes!

Sky Panda makes the “What’s Hot” list in iTunes! #Corona #Ansca #SkyPanda

Do you plan on updating Sky Panda for iPhone with Retina Graphics?

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 11:28:35 -0500

Working with a graphics designer to clean up most the graphics. I’ll be sure to put both hi-def and regular images in the next release!

The android version will continue to have the low res graphics because most android models can’t handle the higher (mostly fps problems).

Any other feature requests? I’m open to all feedback!

Thanks!

Some screenshots of a game we pushed today to the Android.

Because this is our first game, our 2d engine (and the game in general) have a few bugs but we’ll keep updating it for those of you who have paid :-)

I’ll post a few screenshots right after this.

You can see the link on appbrain here:

My Node.js Amazon S3 library has been pushed to GitHub

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 03:49:00 -0400

You can get it at http://github.com/nuxusr/Node.js—-Amazon-S3

Supports http 100-connects, progress % on upload/download, md5 signing, streaming, reduced redundancy, and more… from the README:

What this library is good for:

Send files of any size (although S3 is currently limited at 5 gigs)
- file upload and downloads are streamed with a progress event fired during writes.

Minimal memory footprint and very efficient
- Streams files from disk to socket -- using nodes drain/pause/resume to only stream what socket/stream can take

Uses net sockets on PUT requests to support 100 Continue (especially usefull for large files)
- the body is only sent after amazon approves the signed header

Creates MD5 of content (optional)
- ensure your data isn't corrupted during transmission

Supports amazons new REDUCED_REDUNDANCY storage (cheaper but less reliable)
- see unit tests for examples

Supports specifying acl
- see unit tests for examples

secunia.com/ security report -- Apple leading with most vulnerabilities.:

Just goes to show the misconception people have about apple products being the most secure: ”Oracle (including Sun Microsystems and BEA Logic) ranked #1 in four out of five years overtaken by Apple in the first half of 2010, with Apple consistently ranking higher than Microsoft. Despite increased investments into the security of their products…”

Node.js - Evented I/O for V8 JavaScript

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:54:00 -0400

Node.js - Evented I/O for V8 JavaScript:

I’m implementing a little project in this framework and so far it is going awesome. It’s young but the devs on FreeNode (#node.js) are talented and quick answer — there is nothing like an open-source projects where you can talk directly to the devs. Check out the last years http://jsconf.eu for some videos on this server-side JS framework.

I’ll post some examples later. If you want some links to help you get started here are some that I have found helpful:

http://github.com/isaacs/npm - the package manager you’ll want to use

http://wiki.github.com/ry/node/ - a listing of some modules

http://github.com/grippy/node-s3 - An S3 library

http://github.com/visionmedia/jade - a haml inspired template engine

http://extjs.github.com/Connect/ - middleware for handling your static files

http://wiki.github.com/visionmedia/express/ - makes routing easy (very similar to sinatra if your a ruby person). There are tons of options here though including a few ports of python’s django.

yet another day of coding on the Mundia.com team

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:20:00 -0400

Today was mostly cleaning up some of the work we’ve recently done. In the last month we’ve implemented bulk photo importing (from various sources), photo tagging, and linking both photos and tags to relatives in your family tree. With the fast pace of new features, there is tons of cleanup for this week.
