Photos. Lots of them.
AR notes: mashing a calendar for AR
Seeing as I’ve decided to use lojban as the IAL for AEfter Ragnarok (easy way to facilitate communication between people who don’t speak the same language; all people are strongly encouraged to learn their own culture, language, traditions etc first and foremost), I figured maybe I should have a “culturally neutral” (or something to that effect) global calendar as well.
The calendar reform article on Wikipedia had a bunch of links to check out.
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Good thing I’m not trying for ranking in keywords to position myself as an expert on anything, as this would drown in a search :)
I’ve been wanting to get back into training for A Very Long Time (tm), so have been poking around for a kung fu school. There’s some wing chun and other styles floating around the place, but in the end I admitted to myself that what I really wanted was Choy Lay Fut.
3d-fyn, now with eyebrows and face morphs!

I’m not convinced my colour map is working. Will have to see when I do other random renders while fixing up the weight maps and seeing if I can work out cloth dynamics on the clothes. And I think I need to darken my hair a little bit. After that all I really need to do is see if I can work out how to get my freckle constellation on my face and I’m calling me done.
Drawing on the Cintiq
What to do when .gitignore doesn't
So. At work we’ve switched from using svn to git (and GitHub).
Difference: decentralised, therefore “commit” commits it to the local repo rather than the remote/centralised one, and you have to “commit” then “push” to the remote.
Problem: .gitignore was not gitignoring some files (settings.php
and .htaccess
which I had to change to make it work on my local) which it was supposed to be gitignoring.
Solution as per RobWilkerson.org:
Do: git status
which should spit up a list of modified files since lasy commit/sync/something (shut up I’m still working git out ;)
Thoughts on DiSo
I’ve had several.
Simultaneously, I’ve had several thoughts on which way this post was going to go. Originally I was going to go along the vein of a blog post from Zauber Paracelsus (which outlines the “nymwars” debacle to the date of that post, people embarking on “Project DeGooglefy” and alternatives to Google services).
Then I was going to do something or other about G+ and Facebook and problems with centralised social networks.
The Mythical Farm of Legend
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now]
Since I first got together with JJ, I have heard stories of the farm which has been in his family for generations (or at least, his grandparents ran it, and it’s now owned and operated by his uncles and their family). It has a name but is just referred to “The Farm”.
For the last seven years, JJ has told me he will take me to “The Farm”. For various reasons, we never quite got there.
What doing
3d-fyn wonders what in the hell is going on and what we’re getting ourselves into :)

I’m quite pleased with how my rig is turning out. Little niggly fine tuning things on the arms, but I (finally, because I iz slow) worked out that I should turn off the heading and pitch channels on the shoulder and use the collarbone to control those, and point the elbow with the shoulder’s bank channel.

A friend introduced the kids to the My Little Pony remake some time ago and with the starting of this blog post this song stuck in my brain (had no help whatsoever from the kids watching it a few times ;).
So I’m a bit late for “tomorrow spring is here”, we’re about halfway through the first month of spring as humans like to count it. I think spring came a bit earlier than September. As far as I’m concerned it’s spring when the weather and the flowers say it’s spring.
