OpenTTD 1.0.5 for Mac OSX

November 24th, 2010

Open Transport Tycoon is a game which supports Windows and Linux native. Since I use a mac I tried to compile it for OSX, which worked out pretty well. If you have a Mac and want to play OpenTTD you can download the compiled version here. Just unzip the file by double clicking. The only thing missing is the graphics and sound files.

The graphics can be downloaded here. Just extract the zip file into the data directory of my compiled version.

The sound files can be downloaded here. Just extract the zip file into the data directory of my compiled version.

If you run into trouble feel free to leave a comment. This version of OpenTTD has been compiled on Mac OS 10.6.4.

Remote access ASP.NET development server

November 7th, 2010

I am developing a web application which needs mobile access as well. In order to test this, I need to access the ASP.NET development server from my iOS device. Unfortunately the ASP.NET development server is only accessible from the localhost. This website describes an easy way to forward a port to from the ip adres to the development server.

First you need to download a free tool called rinetd which is available here.

When you have extracted the file to a folder you need to create a config file with the forwaring information. An example could be:

0.0.0.0 8080 127.0.0.1 65458

Save this file as rinetd.conf to the folder of rinetd.

Which mean you want to forward any data from port 8080 to port 65458, which is the port my ASP.NET development server is running. To start rinetd open a console and launch the following command:

rinetd.exe -c rinetd.conf

Beatmatching tutorial

November 1st, 2010

When I started mixing, I realised that one of the most important skills is beatmatching. Of course it is possible to press the sync button every time, but learning by hearing seems to be useful. I found a well written tutorial which describes all the ins and outs of beatmatching.
