ŠPONGIA, web, flash, and why i wasnt writing.

So its official now!!



Today at lunch has been released the ŠPONGIA's topic. It's a puzzle game, which has main her, and this hero should talk on player.
If you don't know what ŠPONGIA is, skip this part. It is Športové Programovanie Oči Neodpudzujúcich Grafických Interaktívnych Aplikácií, Sport Programming of Eye-not-repeling grafical interactive applications, or simply ŠPONGIA (that means SPONGE) and it is named after PONG. This contest is organized by SMND and this is second vintage. Difference is that time for creating is not old 10 days, but 18 and there are two another schools (GJH and GAMCA, with SMND creating the 3 most advanced slovakian schools for Math and Informatics) and Mindek will not come ;). Jury will have for desission whole week (and not just half an hour).

Here is report from ŠPONGIA2006 with the games, here photos from the event and here is unofficial webpage.
About ŠPONGIA2007, everything is here smnd.sk/mikey. As you can see I'm in digital tribe team, that has another 4 members, and im there as 3d graphic. We are fighting with another 12teams and our product we need to give to judges until Monday, 22. October 12AM. Presentations will be at 29. October.
I can't say anything about our game yet, but you will see, and hope, you will like :)

Now i will explain why i didnt write for such time. Its simple. I dont have time.I was preparing for ŠPONGIA and now the ŠPONGIA started. The school started, and i must learn. I was making web (which i finished, too) so please visit sometimes yreg.co.nr. And i started to learn Flash. In Flash i made just one animation about famous school legend yet. And i visit a collet internet radio, but from it i cant give you any messages yet. It will be informational/fun and its for cadets of SMN, teachers and parrents. Im program director.
And i want to do one RPG in Flash with Aleks (code name pieneskejp) but thats far far away now. As you can see, im not bored. I think i wrote everything i wanted, so bye :)

Konfluence

So, the school started, and here is my first fiction of this schoolyear. Our quest was to write fantasy apograph/recountal . I wrote work about artificial world habitated by beeings that human lifted from animals.
It is not my idea im describing world of Paul J. McAuley, where happens his saga about Konfluence. Of course i wrote it, its not just a copy or short version of book and some events i thought. But it is not fully original and not just inspiration. Its apograph. Imagine apograph of Prattchet's Flatland on 2pages. It's not copy, but no own work to. And thats probably destiny of apographs.

Read, its not long.

Google PageRank

PageRank is an algorhytm for rating the relevance of web sites designed in 1987 by Larry Page and Sergey Brinn. It is the base of Google search engine.

Algorhytm uses strusture of hypertext links as each other "recommendations"of webpages. The rating is not computed just from number of comming links , but from ranks of recomendating sites too.

If we wanna compute PageRank R(a) of site a, we could use scheme that looks like this:

where Ba is group of all pages linking on a, and Nu is number of links going from u. Basicly every site gives its rank to pages, that it links.

Problems with PageRank computing are closed site structures, on which links goes, but doesn't go out. For example two joined sites with link from outside on one of them would during the computing acumulate and will not release anything. This creates some kind of "trap", that Page and Brin calls "sink". Becouse of this is PageRank even more difficult, becouse it stops this sinks.
If you wanna compute Google PageRank for your site, you need to use Google Toolbar. But it is still not completely exact and it works just with IE or mofo. It looks like this:



PageRank is trademark of Google, Inc. and algorythm is patented (Patent USA 6285999) by Stanford University.

For webmaster is importing just that as height is your PageRank, as big importance gives Google to it. As height is importance, as height is the page placed in search result.Of course thats not the only criterium, Google has about 100 of them. Another advantage is that GoogleBot brows the sites with bigger PageRank more often. Google actualize PageRank in cca 3moths intervals.

We must admit that this is all hust a theory and noone without the deepest employers of Google knows for what purpous exactly PageRank is.

Opera & Skype

Opera
People that don't know me personaly, will probably think, that I'm using web browser Mozilla Firefox (Mofo, or FF) If you would say that two years ago, you would be right. However, my favourite browser is Opera, shes not such known and common, but in my opinion many time usefullier (for personal use). So why everyone uses Mozilla? Reason is simple. Opensource. Every bit advanced user of Windows quickly finds out that Internet Explorer (IE) is a piece of shit. Versions under 7 did not have tabs (for me the most neccesary feature on browsers), version 7 has tabs, but is slow and panels and buttons takes too much space , so there is less space for the page, you are viewing. All this peoples, which left explorer got into trend "windows is for noobz, yaya opensource rullezz!! flower power!" and grabs opensource software Mozilla, becouse many companies recomend it. Google recommends her on every step (with google toolbar for firefox or get firefox for secure browsingetc.) All linuxes have it biult in and people then feel "cool" before that "stupid pcmans with stupid IE" Opera has many advantages and i will write some of them.

- Tabs (Its strange that i must count this but many userts even in this age uses browsers without tabs.)
- Saving of space - compare window of opera and other browser, you will see the difference ;)
- Speed - Opera definitaly the most fastest web browser on the world. (accoarding to many international tests).
- Full screen - after pressing F11 you gets into full screen mode without anything else, then page
- Speed Dial™ - on every new tab you get 9 huge buttons with favourities
- Integrated search - for example when i enter 'g bread' im redirected to google search with keyword bread, when i enter 'i bread' i got images.google of breads when i enter 'w bread' i get wikipedia article about bread (in my home language)and 'we bread' returns wikipedia article about bread in english. On 'en bread' it gives me english translation of this word (of course i will not write 'en bread' but for example 'en chlieb') via internet dictionary.
- Trash Can - There are stored all closed tabs until closing. Like history but much much much effective.
- Wand - Mozilla and IE ask everywhere if you would like to store your login infoprmations, password or other datas. However it never works. In opera yes. just press ctrl+enter and you are logged in.
- Delete private data - rýchlo a jednoducho na pár kliknutí
- Everything others - pop-up blocker, bit torrent client, Fraud protection, Improved rich text editing, Widgets, Thumbnail preview, Transfer manager, Mouse gestures, Keyboard Shortcuts, Notes, Security bar, Cookie control, IRC chat, Drag and drop and Zoom

Opera is maybe not one of most known browsers for PCs but is very frequently found on Mobiles, PDAs or even on Wii.

Of course there is OS X and Linux versions and releases every few months.

Skype
Skype is, (not only) an instant messanger like ICQ, too. I dont like ICQ for its client and several other things and i have all people on Skype, so why use it? This cant be objective revue, i did not used Jabber, AIM, Yahoo and MSN (not counting Meeboo thats something completely other using just their protocol) but i could say that skype is good. Its nice, it works, it has low requirements. what more you want? I will not talk about phoning becouse i dont use it, but based on what i know they are wonderfull. Wanna call on Australian mobile for 20 cents per minute? Use Skype.
