This is a piece of music i wrote and performed for GGJ12. We didn't end up using it other than to showcase it, so here it is as well. I also have an 8 minute epic time stretched version I can upload.

Dream Escape Post Mortem

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 22:27:00 GMT

Dream Escape, it was originally supposed to be an LD game but it ended up taking too long for reasons outlined herein. Written from scratch in Java, I built a framework that allows flash-like recording of paths and associations with a set of images to create animations. The animations are controlled via time, key presses [...]

Songs of Robin: Brave Will Stutely

no_email@example.com (sir_flexalot) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:23:00 GMT

This is the first of my new Songs of Robin album project, "Brave Will Stutely". It features the thoughts of a man being led off to hang for his crimes, fearing the end and then miraculously rescued. It is based on another of my songs, when I have time I will sort through and find the track.

Prelude to the Grail Quest

no_email@example.com (sir_flexalot) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 16:35:00 GMT

Acoustic Piano with a rare reverb vocal take. I don't usually do voice effects but since I have a cold I had to do something to clean it up a little bit.

Flower of Knights

no_email@example.com (sir_flexalot) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:28:00 GMT

Sir Lancelot Du Lake as the Flower of Knights. I have a cold so i'll probably redo the vocal track soon. Remix edit to fix level issues, new vocal track still pending my cold getting better.

Here I list some common serious PC problems and the easiest/most likely diagnosis. Typically in these cases the quickest way to fix it is to google the error cited by the system, and/or the XKCD flowchart using a different machine that is internet connected.

How to: fix daylight savings time

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 11:43:00 GMT

If we are moving the time from one hour forward to one hour back, the only sensible conclusion is that the correct time is in between. Set the official time to 30 minutes ahead/back and just leave it there for good.

How-to: fix a Mortgage/Foreclosure Crisis

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:32:00 GMT

1. Buy up all of the mortgaged/foreclosed houses. 2. If a family was going to lose their home, rent it back to them at a price they can afford. The good PR will make up for your direct financial loss. 3. Take all of the properties off the market. 4. Maintain them until the market [...]

Antique Lap Desk DIY

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:38:00 GMT

If you want to make your own lap desk, I highly recommend one of the following dimensions. Listed below are the specs of my grandfather’s lap desk, which transforms a 3/8″ piece of plywood and a chair with arms into a very functional desk, much more so than even the best kidney bean lap desks [...]

The Internet License Test

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:57:00 GMT

License version 9.8.10 This is the unofficial licensing test for using the Internet. If you pass this test with 100% right, you have an unofficial license to operate the Internet for consumer purposes. If you cannot pass this test with 100% right, you need to seek technical assistance to use the Internet and you should [...]

How to make a trillion dollars

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:03:00 GMT

1. Save every penny working multiple crappy jobs until you have enough to go in on a franchise. 2. Reinvest every dime from that into additional paying investments. 3. With each investment, expand your income and purchase more investments. Live as frugally as possible during this time. 4. At 1 million, start purchasing riskier, higher-profit [...]

Interacting with Illogical People

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:17:00 GMT

Life gets a lot easier when you understand two very important rules: 1. A large percentage of the population operates their lives outside of the world of logic. 2. No one operating outside of the world of logic is capable of understanding a logical argument in any context whatsoever. Is this a harsh, cynical analysis? [...]

Customer Service as Prevention

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:43:00 GMT

Many businesses looking to save money will cut corners at customer service first, as it seems like a waste of money. If the business sells X, then anything not directly selling more units of X can be seen as overhead. Customer service appears to fit into this category, but customer service is actually a preventative [...]

More time travel weirdness

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:15:00 GMT

A number of shows have appeared on TV lately about time travel. Let’s assume for a moment that I have an actual time machine like the ones in the movies. Time travel into the future based on physics is really just a distortion of the time traveler’s perception of time, and you can’t get [...]

The invention

no_email@example.com (info@devinmoore.com (devin moore)) — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:41:00 GMT

Like many creative people in the technology industry, I have frequently worked on different inventions. Some are good ideas. Some are practical or even efficient. Others are abject failures. But what if one of these was the invention? What would it be like to decisively solve one of the ultimate puzzles of mankind? Here is [...]

Opera Unite and the Open Source Web Renaissance

no_email@example.com (admin) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:04:00 GMT

The new Opera Unite platform provides a web server through the web browser. The promise of this app is to provide services that negate the need for a single server in order to connect multiple people, i.e. collaborative spreadsheets or updating applications similar to Facebook, etc. Assume for a moment that there were an open-source Facebook-like [...]

Mandatory Follow-ups

no_email@example.com (admin) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:04:00 GMT

As more of Information Technology is automated away from manual processes, the manual follow-up has now become mandatory. Many of the messages generated by automated processes get ignored, and thus system administrators may have to condone false negatives in order to get something done during their day besides browsing through tons of automated messages. Until [...]

Information Security as a Speed Contest

no_email@example.com (admin) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:15:00 GMT

The only impenetrable security is that which at a minimum prevents any use whatsoever. Systems that allow any access are susceptible to at least one form of intrusion: falsified access credentials. The purpose of information security is to slow down a break-in or use of stolen information to the point where the perpetrator can be captured [...]

Lethal Buried Assumptions in Tech Project Timeline Estimation

no_email@example.com (admin) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:57:00 GMT

Technology project timeline estimation is the lifeblood of all information technology and related consulting efforts. However, several buried assumptions invisibly affect the estimation process and can cause projects to miss timelines and go over budget. Being aware of these buried assumptions allows padding for the respective risks, but nothing will prevent the risks from existing. The [...]

Impossible Effects

no_email@example.com (admin) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:31:00 GMT

I saw a great quote today, page 4 of the Computer Science book “Concrete Abstractions”: Are there effects we can’t achieve no matter what process we specify? (p.4) Sometimes a program or process can look like it is working during development, but then more and more signs emerge that the process is somehow flawed and it will [...]

Screen Space Wasted by GUI’s Revisited

no_email@example.com (admin) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:08:00 GMT

This topic presents itself to me every few times I use a computer. Why do so many GUI’s waste screen space? Sure, there are instances where you’d want to cleverly space everything out for legibility, or to better define what commands go with what controls, but many GUI’s take this to [...]

H1-B Visa Cultural Confusions

no_email@example.com (admin) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:57:00 GMT

I think there may be a large cultural misunderstanding with how H1-B visas are used with certain foreign workers. In the former USSR and as I understand in the Commonwealth of Independent States, it may be illegal to be unemployed. I think that there may be some misunderstanding for foreign workers [...]

Documentation in code during coding

no_email@example.com (admin) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Documentation should be a pre-coding activity — documentation is a detailed design of what you are going to build, i.e. a blueprint for the program in human-readable language that describes the technical details of the program. Adding in documentation after a program is written when no specification or design exists for the program [...]

Culture Clash in Information Technology: Don’t Take “yes” For an Answer

no_email@example.com (admin) — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:34:00 GMT

First of all, there are general translation errors that can result in code errors based on misunderstood requirements. This causes some issues, but the majority of issues come from cultural differences. In India and some other countries, it is considered disgraceful to say “no” to a boss, so certain groups have [...]
