Monster coloured

September 30, 2011, 12:56 pm

I realised that the black and white interface I have been building is a bit dull for Kindergarten age kids. I decided to make things a bit more interesting with a purple, blotchy skin tone for the monster.

I am looking forward to animating all my frames again and seeing the new colourful version moving around. Because I am using layers in Inkscape to generate my animation frames, the process of getting all my images was pretty painful (many files in three resolutions).

To solve the problem I need to write some code to automate the frame generation process. Once that is written, I will post it on Github.

Facebook's announcement of a timeline feature is pretty cool, but it reminded me of another service that has been around for a while. Memolane takes all your Social Media stuff (not just Facebook) and sticks it in an awesome, embeddable , interactive timeline thing.

Numberline Concept Art

September 9, 2011, 4:36 am

Concept artwork for my current iOS project. It is a little app to teach young children simple arithmetic, but I want the UI to include some fun, cartoony animations, so the bulk of the work is here.

I haven't ever done cartoon animation before, so this has been a big learning experience. Still very amateurish, but I feel like I am making progress. Here are my first two attempts at getting my monster to walk:

Still a long way to go ...

StackOverflow DevDays

September 1, 2011, 1:40 pm

Cancelled

It looks like DevDays have been cancelled this year. There is a post mortum on the StackExchange blog.

I have felt privileged to be included in the organising committee for the StackOverflow DevDays on the 25th and 26th of October this year. I am proud of the awesome collection speakers we have pulled together and am looking forward to hearing from all of them.

Also, the 25th is my birthday, so don't forget to bring my present. I like unicorns. Just sayin.

If you have more than 5000 rep on SO you will have seen the ads on the site, otherwise you use the code 'blog' for a discount on your ticket.
