Come out and see some of the best grapplers on the coast show off their submission skills. Next event will be on July 5, 2008 at the Britannia Secondary in Vancouver.

Grapplers Inc tournament tomorrow!

Complains about the theme I hastily develop for Octobox centered around the immature image presented. Cute graphics help impress the instructor, but during the SFU Open House 2008, we found that the older demographic has more interest in the project. And so, with the website deadline coming up, I hammered out a significantly compliant website and whipped out a brand new theme that featured the existing Octobox graphics and deep ocean colors from our mascot.

Admittedly, only the blog is functional at the moment. I hope to get the rest of the content up and running over the next couple of weeks

The Submission Series is a no-points format wrestling tournament held a couple of times a year around BC. It features some of the best grapplers around while the rules format fosters an all-out style of play. This website was built using Wordpress and features a clean black-white theme that represents the straightforward nature of this tournament- you win by submission. The content is basic but more stuff will be added soon.

I didn’t expect some of my web buddies having difficulty getting MooTools to work. Well, the solution was downright simple- The demo page has a READ HERE FIRST that clearly states that a piece of extra code has to be added to the existing javascript for all the demos.

First, we stumble across a team essentially ripping off our work. Then, we are behind again and the prototype isn’t going anywhere. And finally, a project revision- this late into the term! So with one night to completely change things up (not really, just tweak it), I sat down hammering out slides, Brian quickly assembled a prototype and Manuel managed to work out a Widget. The presentation rocked, and we established ourselves at the top level of the class again. (read more)

Been running with quadruple the stock Macbook ram for a couple of days and I have to say, it is sweet! The dashboard doesn’t have massive lag, and everything else doesn’t choke the second I start doing heavy work. Even though Razer’s Pro V1.6 mouse has the most terrible drivers I have ever seen, I still picked up Razer’s Pro Mobile Bluetooth mouse. I hope to get a review on that in soon.

Seriously though, get 4GB if your Mac supports it. But don’t buy it from Apple- do research on which RAM is compatible and it will save you hundreds. (read more)
