Unibody Macbook 2009 – NVIDIA 9400m support for PhysX
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Since 9400m has 16 CUDA cores, newer releases of PhysX system software do not support hardware acceleration on it. In newer releases, NVIDIA demands 256MB of memory on the GPU and 32 CUDA cores.
Shaman Odyssey: Tropical Adventure
Saturday, January 16th, 2010
A new game from Cateia Games has been released. I’ve worked a bit on the Mac port, and I think our developers and artists have done great work. Game is fun and enjoyable; grab the demo and see for yourself.
Sandlot Games (Windows)

Note: I work at Cateia, but I’m not directly and personally involved with either Sandlot nor MacGameStore. There are other distributors and I’m not discriminating intentionally. This post does not represent opinions of Cateia or other employees. I just want to spread the news 
Printscreen et al. on Macbook in Windows
Monday, December 21st, 2009If you’re bootcamping, you may have trouble issuing some standard keyboard commands. For example, Print screen. Because there’s no printscreen key on Mac.
To do printscreen, press Fn+Shift+F11
More information on other keys can be found at Apple’s knowledge base: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1167.
Disclosure: Previously this page has read “Fn+Shift+F4″. I have no idea how I came up with F4. Mea culpa.

Linkage time: ‘How to stop the irritating “Updating your computer is almost complete – Restart Now?” message’
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Here’s again something interesting I found on teh intarwebz:
How to stop the irritating “Updating your computer is almost complete – Restart Now?” message
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations you can configure how often it will nag you. The maximum is 1,440 minutes, which is 24 hours, so put that in and you’re on the road to peace. Unfortunately, this setting only takes place on a reboot so you have to go one step further to get it to take immediate effect. Open the command line again and type gpupdate.exe /force and press ENTER.
This should help you concentrate on work more easily
P2PVPN 0.7
Saturday, October 10th, 2009Anyone looking for a piece of software similar to Hamachi, but open source free software - take a look at P2PVPN. It uses torrent trackers for finding nodes, it works on GNU/Linux and Windows and individual nodes do the forwarding. (This also means at least one node in network needs to be able to accept connections but that can probably be arranged.)
Now, since this is a blog with programmer’s thoughts, I’ve taken special interest in this program’s source code; especially in how it manages to use OpenVPN‘s TUN/TAP driver under Windows. You see, TUN/TAP devices under GNU/Linux reveal themselves to be just simple named file descriptors you can write into and read from. But how to do it under Windows? This seemed like it might be another one of those things where you can venture around the net for days looking for an answer, but luckily, there was no need for that.
P2PVPN’s got two versions of its low level code for accessing TUN/TAP devices, one for GNU/Linux and one for Windows. They are written in C and are Java wrappers for accessing the devices. Windows version has 280 lines of code excluding header, and GNU/Linux version has 111 lines excluding header. They are a must-read tutorial for anyone wanting to write some code that has to do with virtual network devices and VPN. P2PVPN’s licensed under GPLv3, and the TUN/TAP Java wrapper code is licensed under LGPLv3.
Wolfgang Ginolas did some great work here. Anyone that wants to try something new aside from Hamachi, or wants to write their own VPN software, should take a look at P2PVPN.
