Zipped DAE Class for Papervision3D
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
In my on-going quest to improve load times when dealing with Collada (DAE) models in Papervision3D, I decided to write a DAE file cleaner (or optimizer) in Adobe AIR that will remove extraneous information from the DAE file that Papervision3D ignores anyway.

Replacing our dodgey fence with a hedge
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
We wanted to get rid of the ugly, rotting fence in front of our place, so we did some checking around and decided to get a cedar hedge put in, instead of another fence. Sure, they require maintenance and upkeep, but I think the benefits outweigh the work involved in keeping it up. It'll give us more privacy, cut down on road noise, and should stop a lot of garbage from accumulating in the previously unused corner of our lot.

This is the newly updated version of Heather and my web site.

It seems like a better gallery script than my old one (not hard), and it lets Heather update her own pictures and whatnot, so I figure I'll get all my old pictures, and Heather's new ones, imported into that in the next few days.

I know this doesn't relate to my normal site news, but I'm almost finished coding up a new web-based shared bookmark list for members of a forum (http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=13) I hang out in.

What a weekend!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
I had a great weekend visiting with my grandmother. Don't worry I got lots of pics, close to 40 I think. I'll try and get them processed and posted as soon as I can, but I'm a little wrapped up with two other projects right now.

A visitor from home
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Well, my grandmother has arrived for a two week visit in New Zealand. We picked her up at the airport on Thursday morning, and today she and I are going to Waiheke Island (just off Auckland) for a wine tour. Apparently they make some good wine out there, but I'll be the judge of that ;)

My apologies
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Sorry for the lack of updates to the site but I've been really busy with "real-world" stuff and haven't had time to do much that's worth sharing on the site.

Site tweaks and new features
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
I've fixed the clock on the main page to properly display the time - it was missing zeroes before. Also it's based on the 24hour clock, FYI.

New thingamajig added (that's the technical term)
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
For those of you that are not in NZ (ie. most of the readers), I've added a little time function on the homepage underneath the menu to the left, that will tell you what time it is here where I am compared to your local time.

Whistle while we work
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Well I'm working on Feature 5: Rossman Visits Cape Reinga, as that was the last long one I had on my old site. Hopefully it will be online by tomorrow!

Gallery Updated!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
The gallery (and Ross-O-Vision) has been updated with my photos from my trip out to Rangitoto. Also tried to improve the performance a bit for dial-up users. Let me know if it helped!

Rangitoto or Bust!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Well it was the former rather than the latter. I made it out to Rangitoto today, and I think I got too much sun <sigh> Prob will have a bad sunburn. That'll teach me to forget sunscreen.

Clarification!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
After having some interesting discussions about the use of DeCSS with one of my readers, I would like to clarify my position for all.

First Feature Added!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
The first feature has been added to the server. Sorry that it's not particularly thrilling and is picture-less, but I felt it was necessary to include it for completeness.

Whew - Pics all Imported and Gallery Finished!
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Ok, got the rest of the old pics imported to the site. Was a bit of doing but it's done now. The gallery is done as well and will be working on the features this weekend (i hope).

Almost forgot?
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
Whoa!! I almost forgot to piss off the MPAA with a sweet link to DeCSS. Since I'm not in the USA I don't have to worry about their silly laws. Unless they extradite me from New Zealand. Oh well, I takes me chances - decrypt your DVD's with THIS. I've got the source as well if anyone's interested. Maybe this will teach 'em to lay off everyone's favourite folks.

Almost there...
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
On the final stretch of importing all the pics into the new site. Just have the last batch from Aug. 26th to process through Photoshop and I can work on some new content (read: going on more adventures).

Coming Soon to a Browser Near You

Coming soon, will be the New Zealand trip of all trips. Planning has begun for an extensive tour of the southern part of the North Island, continuing to the South Island, and should range all the way down as far south as you can get, Stewart Island.

Ross-O-Vision™ Fully Functional
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
The Ross-O-Vision™ is now fully functional - clicking the "Zoom" button under the pic will now open a new window and display the photo at a higher resolution (640x480). Full resolution (1600x1200) pics will be coming online at some stage, if there is demand ;)

Random Ross-O-Vision™ Pictures
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
You'll notice that the Ross-O-Vision™ system now displays random thumbnails of the pics I've taken. Hope this makes the page a bit more interesting for ya!

Old News baby, It's Old News
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/rossman/therossman.org/home.php on line 48
All of the old news items have been archived for the time being, but they'll be making a comeback once appropriately massaged to work into the new site ;)
