StandingWave is an AS3 code library designed for high level control of Flash Player 10’s SampleDataEvent API for streaming audio output. It is based on a subset of the audio engine used by the Noteflight Score Editor. The goal of StandingWave is to encapsulate the following kinds of objects, permitting them to be easily chained together and combined to produce complex, dynamic audio output:

EA recently announced that it will release Command & Conquer 4 in 2010, and the game will take players through the finale of the Tiberium War saga. EA really is prolific. We’ll get to see Kane again next year. I’m rooting for Kane, hehe.

The Time Traveler’s Wife hits theaters in August this year.

Got a new laptop, so here’s a picture to mark the occasion.

It’s been a few days since I finished Chinese Paladin 3, but it still has a hold on me, and I don’t want to let it go. Those moving love stories have ended. All that’s left are scene after scene of vivid memories, image after image of bittersweet beauty. Those stirring background melodies keep lingering in my ears.

Sharing these two albums, SongBook 1 and Songbook 2. Even though they are French albums, most of the tracks are traditional Celtic folk songs from northern France.

In the early hours of this morning, Chinese Battle.net went live, and you can now bind World of Warcraft accounts. See the WOW transition official guide for details.

StarCraft has a comic now too — the first issue of the Chinese scanlation re-created by the Sailian Scanlation Group: http://www.transfans.com.cn/thread-1987-1-1.html The Sailian Scanlation Group ...

The Chinese Paladin 3 TV series has been made too, and it’s currently a big hit here in China…

HTML 5 is the next generation of the Hypertext Markup Language. Since HTML 4 was released in 1997, HTML development had been at a standstill, while the Web has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years — so much so that HTML 4 can no longer keep up with today’s increasingly “rich” Web applications. HTML 5 not only addresses HTML 4’s functional shortcomings for Web applications, it also aims to improve HTML’s interactive capabilities and support today’s diverse, complex Web content.

The new Battle.net for World of Warcraft still hasn’t shown any sign of life today, so let’s try a few new games instead. Remember playing The Sims years ago? That cookie-cutter AI really wasn’t much fun at all, and I got bored of it fast. If an online version of The Sims ever came out, I’d be rolling up my sleeves and would definitely have to give it a go. And what do you know — Yangbo Network recently put out a 3D online life-simulation game: Life Online!

Having gotten bored of every other game, and with WoW’s Chinese servers temporarily gone, I was bored out of my mind. Into this gap stepped Plants vs. Zombies — a plain but adorable, simple but fun single-player game — and it was a real eye-opener. The art is just so kawaii.

I’ve been playing WoW since the open beta, and after the 9C servers started having frequent, mysterious and unstoppable energy fluctuations that made the game really unpleasant to play, I gradually went AFK. After TBC launched, I went back in and played casually for quite a while, but in the end I left again. I once thought WoW could no longer tempt me, but now that I’ve lost WOW, I feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness — like the Kaldorei Moon Guard losing the source of the Well of Eternity.
