Day[9] – A Moving Story of a Pro-Gamer [Video]

Day[9] is a Starcraft2 commentator and a professional gamer (among other things). I have been following him for sometime watching his ‘casts’ of games. He just posted this video on Youtube (although its an old episode), its an incredibly moving tale of his journey through gaming to becoming one of the top players in the world. More than that he relates it to how his family have supported him through his passion and giving him belief to do what he loves.

If you enjoy gaming or know someone that enjoys gaming I cant encourage you enough to watch this video. Its quite long but I strongly encourage you stick with it till the end!

If you liked Day[9]‘s quirky style of humor of  or are interested in watching some more of his casts you should checkout either his Youtube channel or his BlipTV archive.

Post To Tumblr Version 0.3

Just made a quick little update to my chrome extension “Post To Tumblr”.

In this update I finally worked out how to catch bad username or password returns from the Tumbr API. Basically it just involved me using the ajax rather than the post jQuery function and using “async:false” like so:

$.ajax({
		  url: 'http://www.tumblr.com/api/write',
		  type: 'POST',
		  data:o,
		  async: false,
		  complete: function(transport)
		  {
				if(transport.status == 200 || transport.status == 201)
				{
					 postingNote.cancel();
					 var postedNote = webkitNotifications.createNotification('images/icon48.png', "Image Posted!", info.srcUrl);
					 setTimeout(function() { postedNote.cancel(); }, 5000);
					 postedNote.show();
				}
				else if(transport.status == 403)
				{
					postingNote.cancel();
					var errorNote = webkitNotifications.createNotification('images/icon48.png', "Posting Error!", "Bad email or password");
					setTimeout(function() { errorNote.cancel(); }, 5000);
					errorNote.show();
				}
 
			}
		 });

In addition I have added some notifications to indicate when the extension is doing something.

I have made a little demo video below to show this off:

Chrome should auto update for you. If you dont have the extension yet head over to the extension gallery to grab it now!

48 Hours Later – Timelapse & Gameplay Videos

Just made these two videos. One is the timelapse video I took to show my development process and the other is to show off the gameplay for those that cant run flash (Linux) or dont want to actually play the game, just want to see what the fuss is about :P

The timelapse was produced using 2300 ish screenshots, one taken every 60 seconds by Chronolapse.

Enjoy:
