Joomla , is one of the great CMS software that come with tons of features by default. However, if you want to have your website to be able to represent a specific feature, using the extensions is unavoiable. Here I listed a number of useful extensions for your Joomla 1.5 base website

Working hard on the very tight and ambitious project is my excuse why I haven't got any time to update the website. However, I promise that it will be no more. Here is a short summary about what I'm up to at the moment.

Driver: San Francisco

New Direct3D Framework

Project Equillibrium

Editor pick!: Project of the Year

The research has been carried on during my Honours year. The research addresses an interesting problem in modern game applications regarding to real-time rendering, where a game scene is detailed with large number of various kinds of objects.

According to this, the research has been experimented into many optimization strategies in order to maximize the GPU utilization. We mainly explore the system limitations and try to improve bottlenecks by implementing the best combination of acceleration algorithms and the new features introducing in DirectX 10 rendering technologies.

While carefully monitoring with a couple of proper Profilers, together with the optimal usages of Skinned Instancing, Geometry Shaders, Scene managements and etc., finally, we manage to render more than 300,000 animating objects on the scene at 30 fps.

The development roadmap has been recorded in the Honours project blog. Or you can continue reading on this topic for the project summary and showcase.

For years, as an experienced music listener, it's funny that just recently I've just found my favorite tunes again. Usually, I listen to almost any type of music, as we can say, Death Metal until Classical. Even though I'm opened and be able to enjoy my time with all of them. However, sometimes the sound can turn into something annoying if I listen to them for too long. The music that I can spend with the longest is  called "Smooth jazz" where I also find it's my favorite taste.
