A young Moroccan developer offers the XO OLPC 3D abilities for the first time.


As reported in OLPC news, young free software enthousiast Ahmed Mansour, has just succeeded in porting the first 3D application to the XO OLPC in history.
The major difficulty with the XO is that it has relatively poor performance, and no hardware 3D acceleration at all. The only way to do 3D on it was then through software rendering, this led Ahmed Mansour (aka. Atphalix) to pick up an old 3D game (Quake 1) and heavily modify it to run smoothly on the XO, and this is was has been done to achieve the final result.
Now the developer along with the community sees this as a first proof of concept, and further work must be now done in this direction to provide the XO with a proper 3D library with optimized software rendering, and then to be able to develop nice educational 3D games for the kids.
The next step in the project of Ahmed Mansour (Alias Atphalix) is to transform the Quake1 and turn it into a real educational game called Abcube, by taking away all the violence, and the guns, and subtituting them with new things with nice graphics.

Note: Ahmed Mansour is also my brother, he is at this exact moment in another room of the house designing some objects with blender for his 3D game.

Buy a Djinn on ebay. Unbeliavable ebay guide reviews Djinn as a merchandise!

I was astonished to come across this unbelievable ebay guide that presented and reviewed Djinn (jnoun,spiritual beings aka ghosts) as a mere merchandise, the article writer says he bought many djinns and that they're changing his life,..
This is not all !! a quick search on ebay, showed that many people were selling captive djinns, haunted wishing rings, and more, ..
I am totally astonished, I don't know what is going on out there on ebay, and wether people are actually buying this bullshit or not, I prefer to leave commenting this for you.

95% of the traffic that comes to this blog is generated by a single post!

My stats indicate that 95% of total traffic that comes to this blog is generated by the sole old post that resolves a MySQL install issue (see history), so how did that happen? that was spontaneous, I had found a solution to a common problem that hundreds of people were experiencing every day, I published the solution on my blog, and posted links to it on the MySQL official forums and on a few other places on the Internet. Direct result to this action: a massive rush to my website from those unique places, to the point that I even added a link bellow the article to my cat food recipes blog, and that I generate a fair amount of daily clics from there!
Unfortunately, techy floks like you don't clic on adsense ads, otherwise I may have become a richer man, but the quality of my content allows me to build interest on other good websites of mine, and this is a nice thing too.
Now a question to you! what if you had a non-techy blog or website, and if ALL your posts/articles were benefiting from a similar targetted rush? how much money would you be earning monthly? I am not questionning your ambition, but I'm just trying to inspire you of some amazing ways for your website to get noticed, more on that is to come, hold on ;)
