About Lorin

Technical muse available for consult.

I was instrumental in pushing esports out of South Korea into the global zeitgeist, I guess.

I find enjoyment in learning and making new connections, be they concepts or people.

    If we could restore the snapshot from around the year 2000 that'd be great, would like to make some changes.

    Would have been a great domain with the rise of AI, shocking they didn't adapt the persona.

    I desperately miss PureDJ online radio, pretty much exclusively streamed EDM DJ sets. Would do anything to see the archive restored in some fashion.

    If you worked on Lost Vikings I'd like to thank you for the entertainment during my childhood. Given your background did you ever get involved in the demo scene?

    Consider a slower default rotation speed, esp. on your front page backdrop as you must be considerate of users with movement based nausea. Further consider generating a looping vid…

    Not when the TS team refuses to fix long standing issues preventing JSDOC from operating properly in VSC, for example https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/16665

    Anyone else see the irony of someone named Grey being pro immortality?

    StarCraft 2 tournaments broadcasts being watched in public venues pushed esports into the zeitgeist.

    I'd like to thank everyone moving their hosting away from shared hosts to VPS. Been on the same shared hosting platform for 15+ years and the hardware's load average dropped to ~16…

    What is causing the ghosting/delay when moving the glass over text?

    Comment #44331613

    At that point we might as well skip the glasses entirely and have it output directly to the visual/audio cortex (with shut offs, of course)

    Sadly the controls are not mobile friendly and I ended up spinning wildly.

    Agreed, on mobile I can hardly tell the difference after the second step, if at all.

    I took it one step further even earlier using a Flash file as a backdrop which was able to achieve the glass effect while still being in a dynamic moveable frame. Can't recall if i…

    That's an interesting concept, although it would generate a ton of bogomips since each client has to generate the image themselves instead of one time on the server. You'd also wan…
