OBJ Parser in PaperVision3D

During my internship in Amrita University(Kollam), I had to bang my head in 3D Objects. We were given project related to 3D objects. The task was simple to load all type of 3D format files in an Adobe flex application. We searched through the libraries (Away3d, Sandy3d, Alternativa3d, Papervision3d) and found Away3d the best and started working on that. We were near the project completion and came to know that we would have to design our project using best engine. One of my friend found that Away3d is slow and PaperVision3D is the best. We found PaperVision3D is also simple to load files. We succeeded in loading DAE(Collada), 3DS, KMZ, MD2 files. The problem began with the OBJ files. I found a link in Knut Urdalen's Blog about OBJ parser and copied OBJ Parser in my project and tried it. But I found many difficulties as we had to give MTL file and this could not load the textures also.
So I thought to enhance this OBJ parser and come up with the following code. This can load MTL file and textures itself.

Here is the link to the pages.

Introduction of OpenSolaris to Colleagues

Hi all,
Today, I introduced OpenSolaris to my colleagues and there was an installation-fest also. I provided OpenSolaris Live CDs to all the guests and told them the instructions to install OpenSolaris on their laptops. They successfully installed OpenSolaris on their laptops. After that, I introduced the Interface and File System of OpenSolaris. Here are some snapshots of the event.

Thanks to one and all.

Try to rename your Windows folder

Hi Guys!

You will be thinking that why I am telling you to rename your any folder while it is very simple work to do. Simply Right Click on Folder and Choose Rename and Rename your folder. But you try to rename your folder with following names and answer me why is it?

Aux, con, nul, prn, com1, com2, com3,..... lpt1, lpt2,...... , clock$

This is because these are the names of ports. But why is it think?
