There aren’t many examples of how you can upload files (aka ContentVersion entities) to Salesforce using the jsForce library. So I wanted to document what I found while working with the library. Simplest way The easiest way to upload a file is to base64 encode the contents and pass it to the create method. Unfortunately […]
Decompiling C# using dnSpy .NET debugger and assembly editor

How to print the ultimate custom equipment deck
Lately I’ve been playing a lot of the awesome hobby that is board games. The last few years have seen a renewed interest in board games likely aided by the internet and its ability to provide crowd funding for a range of new and exciting games. One of these is Zombicide which was funded in 2012 and raised a respectable $780k.
Basically lots of dice rolling, zombie minis, crazy weapons… what more could you ask for in a board game.
How about more crazy weapons and equipment… read more

Re-experience ABC TV's RAGE again...
Rage is a popular all-night Australian music video program broadcast on ABC1 on Friday nights, Saturday mornings and Saturday nights. It was first screened on the weekend of Friday, 17 April 1987.
Since 1998 rage has posted all their episode playlists online. So I created a website that combines these playlists with YouTube allowing you to travel back through time and re-experience rage’s recent history.
Here is a simple JavaScript bookmarklet that replaces YouTube videos embedded using the old flash object embed method with the new iframe embed method. What this means is that you can force a lot of embeded YouTube videos to play with the HTML5 video player. This is particularly useful on IOS devices (iPhone, iPad) with […]

Photoshop Livestream
For the last month or so I have taken some Photoshop graphic requests and streamed the creation live on Justin.TV. I really like the idea of streaming the creation process since it forces you to work quickly and productively (in other words to focus more on the big picture than the details).
So far I have created graphics mostly relating to various video games and pro video gamers since that is what people have asked for.
