Planet Blender v2 beta 4 ‘Turning Pages’

jesterPrincess was not really wanting to fall asleep, so I took her at some point in the sling, where she finally fell asleep. During that time I worked more on Planet Blender (and some other projects that will be published soon enough. Exciting!). I give you back the possibility to browse pages again! As of [ READ MORE ]

Planet Blender v2 beta3 “Remember the days”

Last night I published a new small feature for Planet Blender, namely a calendar from which you can see how many messages have been posted through the various feeds. There is even code ready for browsing through the calendar, and picking days so you see all messages for that specific day (like this many we [ READ MORE ]

Planet Blender v2 beta2 – In The Fast-Lane

After a long period of being busy with family and other important things, I finally got around to doing something with Planet Blender. The speed of v2 beta1 was frankly quite awful, and I was looking into doing something with clean and small code. I searched for solutions and finally I tried my hand on Web.py. [ READ MORE ]

T-Shirt from Project London

Yesterday I found a nice surprise among the post. A more than cool t-shirt from Project London! I thank Phil, Nathan and Ian for this great gift. As you may have noticed, I run on Planet Blender a banner campaign. Why? Because I like what they’re doing AND they use Blender. I wish the Project London [ READ MORE ]

RSS Feed for Planet Blender and more. The first Beta.

Finally I sat down and enabled the RSS feed for Planet Blender. This file you can now add back to your favourite feed reader. It shows the latest 10 blogs that have been aggregated into Planet Blender. The feed is updated together with the contents of Planet Blender. So once every hour you get the [ READ MORE ]

Sending in Feeds

The new feed submission works already pretty nicely: 5 feeds have been added over the weekend thanks to this new form! Thanks to the submitters! One note though, when you submit a feed, make sure it is the RSS feed (or Atom). I do check all submitted links, but because it is manual work, it really [ READ MORE ]

3DMagix, rebranding and selling the free software Blender

As you may have noticed in our community, a new attempt to sell Blender, while abusing the work of fellow Blenderheads has appeared. Blendernation.com has written about this, so has blender.org and already many other blogs too. Now, I think that it is ok to make money using Blender. It is a good thing to do. [ READ MORE ]

Planet Blender v2

After a month of silence from my part, due to work load (man, guiding people can take so much time), I finally got a hold of myself last weekend and started working on an improved interface for Planet Blender. I still use the same aggregation code (but I have already thought of some improvements in that [ READ MORE ]

Planet Blender 1st Anniversary

It’s hard to believe that already a year has passed since I opened the site on April 25th of 2008. Things have gradually grown, from only a handful of feeds to well over a hundred. During this year almost 7000 blog posts have been aggregated by Planet Blender, averaging over 18 posts per day. In order [ READ MORE ]

RSS-feed URL changed

In a bit of oversight, I forgot to mention to all the loyal readers that use the RSS-feed that I have changed the URL for the feed. For some reason FeedBurner had made some changes that broke entirely the feed concerning following links. I have now opted to directly provide the RSS-feed from Planet Blender, as [ READ MORE ]
