Well, Merry Christmas all. I wish you a happy holiday and a great new year. I should have the next version of Identd up on the site within a few days. I’m just getting out of finals mode right now.
As a sidenote, if you’re looking for something to do over the holidays, check out two of the comic pages I read regularily:
I’ve discovered a snippet of HTML that freezes IE 4.0 solid (but not Netscape) on my Windows ’98 machine.
WARNING: THIS MAY CRASH YOUR BROWSER. SAVE YOUR WORK BEFORE PROCEEDING.
If you’re brave, you can take a look at it here. Those who do try it, please email me ASAP with your browser name/version and whether it froze or not.
Take a look at my first full POV-Ray scene. I could probably add some stuff to this one, but I think I’ll try applying the huge amount I learned to something else. If you have any comments, I’d really like to hear them. I’d like to start work on learning how to make better textures and materials. You can also take a look at a neat water scene I put together (or the second version).
BTW, Andrew Clinton has what I consider to be one of the most beautiful renderings on his page. You can see the image or go to his gallery page.
Thanks to help from Chris Dillon, I’ve found some places where Identd can be improved when used with an NT network. There are some new features that should make administration a little easier.
You might find that calling the undocumented /GOSERVICE command from a UNC path can cause big problems. It seems that Windows doesn’t load the entire program into memory, so when you log out and back on again, it tries to somehow reload the other parts of the executable and craps out. I’ve added a new, documented, /INSTALL switch which should fix all this. Look forward to v1.4 in a few days.
The bug can be reproduced with the following sequence of actions:
For those of you using Windows ’95, ‘98 or NT, try out my Identd server. It’s great for those of you using mIRC or eggdrop (the standard IRC bot) on a Win32 system.
I’ve been hard at work setting up the #i740 channel on EFNet. If you want to stop by, irc to any EFNet server (I use irc.chat.org) and type “/join #i740”. There’s a bot set up there for answering a number of faqs.
As for HP-IDE ‘99 that I’ve been promising, it looks like school is going to overwhelm this project for now. I may be able to get a basic usable version up by Christmas, but we’ll have to see how things go. Thanks for all the support, guys!
I’ve put together a comparison between the i740 and the 3dfx video cards I’ve current got installed in my system. If you’re looking for the better card in terms of quality and price, the results may surprise you…
I’ve got a Pure3D LX 3dfx and an Eontronics Picasso i740 card installed in my system and I ran some Quake2 benchmarks. Here are the results:

If you are looking for some of the old content, it’s not up and ready yet. Email me and I can send whatever you need.
Also, please note that SATURN.DOC is now SATURN.TXT to prevent the frustration of having Microsoft Word load under Windows.
Welcome to the newly renovated Fuzzy Logic homepage. I’ve reorganized the site to make it easier to get around, more browser compatible and generally better looking. The content you’re looking for will now be in one of the categories to the left. If you’re looking for the xpilot, crypto, my projects or javascript content, they’ve been lumped into “Miscellany”.
Enjoy the new site and please email me with any comments!
