I am not much for begging or asking for help. I prefer to try and get results myself rather than have to rely on someone else to get things done... But the fact is that after a few months, I am getting some traction but am not making too much progress...

The time has come for me to move on to another pasture. After 4 years as a graphics developer (and more than 8 as a game developer), I have decided to take the plunge and explore something new and different... Yep, starting Dec 3rd, I will be moving...

Remember that my Main Blog has moved to www.SebbyLive.com ( FSX: What is the Difference Between the Water 2.X Low/Mid/High/Max Settings? ) The purpose of this post is to address a question that was sent to me in regards to water reflections in general...

The art of computer programming is about to get easier thanks to Paradoxal Press’ future releases of “Practical Ruby on Rails” and “The Complete Effect and HLSL, DirectX 10 Edition” as well as its just-released second edition “Practical .NET2 and C#2...

The second edition of Practical .NET2 and C#2 is finally available for sale on www.ParadoxalPress.com . The official release date is technically on October 15th but it is possible that outside orders (such as on Amazon) be a little delayed. This is due...

Ok, this is somewhat of an offbeat post for me but stumbled uppon this and thought it was really cool. I don't use a HTPC (Home Thrater PC) at home right now mostly because sich a solution would only make sense for me if my TV provider (DirecTV in my...

Apparently, saying "could have been implemented on DX9" in my previous post in regards to VC self-shadowing stired all sorts of drama on some of the user forums. Although the statement is accurate, I did not explain in more details WHY this was not done...

Remember, my complete blog is now at: http://www.SebbyLive.com/ ( http://www.sebbylive.com/post/2007/11/FSX---SP2-and-DX10-Performance.aspx ) The first point that is worth mentioning here is that SP2 (and therefore Acceleration) do introduce a new...

Remember, my complete blog is now at: http://www.SebbyLive.com/ One of the DirectX 10 additions to FSX SP2/Acceleration is the use of self shadowing within the aircraft VCs. For the VC, we use shadowmapping, in a similar way that it is used for the...

Remember, my complete blog is now at: http://www.SebbyLive.com/ Now that the Acceleration expansion pack and FSX SP2 have finally RTM'ed, I can start discussing some of the specifics relating to the changes and improvements made to both of these. I...

The time has come to finally move away from hosting my blog on MSDN. There are a few reasons for this transition but the two main deciding factors were that posting personal posts on a MSDN blog seemed odd (at least to me) and that I already had my own...

I was planning on making the announcement later this week but Amazon.com bet me to it with their "pre-order" email... I am indeed running a little behind with the advertisement since the release is set for Oct 15th. But I will have an official press release...

I didn't realize I was that important until I got the email that I pasted below, wow " You were recently appointed as a biographical candidate to represent your industry in the Madison Who's Who Among Executives and Professionals, and for inclusion into...

Too funy, so I could not resist posting this video... Halo Takes Over The World - Watch more free videos

This happens to me at least 1-2 times per week. It's actually not something that is specific to Internet Explorer 6.0, but is most frequent with this app due to the way I use it. The fact is, IE can be a resource hog depending on the websites you visit...

Was forwarded this really interesting post by Mark Greenblatt on the AvSim forums ( http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=121&topic_id=414954&mesg_id=414954&page= ). I've copied the contents below, but what I really liked...

I have to say I have made significant progress since I was initially diagnosed with Bipolar 2 earlier this year. Just having a better understanding of myself sure makes a great difference to start. Knowing my body and mind better, knowing what my limits...

Yes, too many studios in a small building meant that many of us had to double up in our offices even though the offices were barely big enough. Microsoft is building several new sites but this does take time. In the meantime, they are shuffling teams...

Somewhat of a twist from the old Nigerian scam emails. Why not just send an email with a quote from the bible and then beg for some money sent to an eGold account. At least this one is entertaining, hope they use the money to at least get some text editor...
