If you like MPlayer, run Linux and you want to play movies in your Firefox browser, I can heartily recommend MPlayer Plug-in (click image above).

In case you're wondering how I tested the plugin, I went through my database looking for an embedded video.

July 2, 2006 DESCRIPTION A graphical network config tool for AltSciOS. This tool is in development and is mainly a theoretical discussion of how a network configuration tool should work to allow the easiest and quickest use.

AltSciOS is currently in development and is written in Python. It was built for the PDA of a video game, called Hack Mars. It works very much like other Posix OS (Unix, Linux, and BSD). The back end looks very different, though.

Although AltSci Net does not currently exist, a suitable replacement currently exists called Tor.

What could be more boring than a 3D box rendered in Blender with a stupid material and shader? Post processing said box in Inkscape, possibly. But this fine morning (night, whichever it is) I found that both tools are doing amazing things in just the place I need them. Blender's shading and import have improved quite a bit in the latest release, which means I can import all my assets from Hack Mars to Blender. The animation works perfectly. My assets from AltSci Cell are already in Blender and now that I know how they import and export animation, I can do more work in that area. One of the main reasons I gave up on Hack Mars and AltSci Cell (both projects are on indefinite hold awaiting interest and investment) was that I couldn't import, export, or create content in Blender. That's a pretty sad state of affairs compared to MS3D (which I haven't used since the end of Hack Mars dev).
