Luaduck let me know about the WebOS SDK on Steam friends today. For those who don’t know what WebOS is, here’s a small summary:
Palm webOS is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel with proprietary components developed by Palm.
webOS’s graphical user interface is designed for use on devices with touchscreens. It includes a suite of applications for personal information management and makes use of a number of web technologies such as HTML 5, JavaScript, and CSS.[4][5]Palm claims that the design around these existing technologies was intended to spare developers from learning a new programming language.
So, basically, you write applications in HTML or Java. Setting up the development environment took some time, but writing the Hello World application was worth it. You can just drag images, stylesheets and other files to your project, press the play button and your application runs in the Palm Emulator.

Neat.

That brings me to my next subject. I made a new avatar, again with our beloved male_07. This time he wears a rebel suit and has a cheesy smile. Took about 20 minutes to get the smile and pose right and about 10 minutes to find the tutorial for the rising sun background.
Windows Live Writer
Actually, you might be surprised now that I’ve posted a new blog post within a week of posting the last one. That’s because I’ve discovered a shiny new tool to make updating my blog a lot easier: Windows Live Writer. I’m not going to discuss all of it, as Garry already covered it, but it’s like writing a blog post with Word. You can position items wherever you want, insert images from any source automatically and all you have to do to configure it is inserting your blog url and username and password. Really cool.
Fretta gamemode contest

I’m pretty sure most of you have already heard of it, but Facepunch Studios is hosting a gamemode contest with prices ranging from $1000 to $5000, read more about it here. Anyway, I’ve started working on my own entry: Flood Control. It’s pretty much a remake of Puzzle, only it’s third-person, there’s two teams and there’s rising water. Here’s a full description.
Evolve menu and scoreboard
I can’t tell a lot about this yet, but the menu of Evolve will be integrated into a custom scoreboard. This has several advantages:
- You don’t have to bind a key to some obscure command.
- It integrates better into GMod which is one of the goals of my admin mod.
- I can make the menu look more interesting.
More information about this soon enough.
I’d like to end this time with a video of RayWilliamJohnson, featuring a cat which actually says OM NOM NOM while eating. Worth checking out!
That gamemode looks fucking awesome.
the evolve mod looks AWESOME. but i think you should primaraly add an admin block so admins cant effect high ranking admins, like owner. cause when i made a friend of mine admin i told to test if he can ban me. and he can ban me. so yeah i do know your working really hard. but try adding that. and an awesome weapons and entity and vehicle, AND, prop blocking plugin so you can decide what weapons you can allow for guests and admins and same for entities and vehicles. props add where you cant spawn more than 10 in 5 seconds.
