AR notes: physical bitboins
Tuesday, 4 September 2012 @ 3:35pm
Some people have made them. As far as I can tell from an extremely quick skim, they’re all round coins and bills, familiar looking money.
The current block I’m working in uses local currency and bitcoin for a global currency. While contemplating bitcoin and how it gets accepted/exchanged as readily as the local currency of any given area, I wondered if they had a physical version of it. Which then of course had me wondering how cool it would be if they were dice.
BlenderAdventures Pt 1
Sunday, 24 June 2012 @ 10:13pm
That would be Blender the open source 3d application not the kitchen appliance.
2012-06-22: I want to split out the Lightwave viewports and have one view on the big screen so I can see a big picture of what’s going on and work on smaller zoomed in sections on my Cintiq. Lightwave can’t do that. Wonder if Blender can because it’s all open sourcey and whatnot and it’s statistcally improbable that I’m the only person on the planet that would want to do such a ridiculous thing. Find out it can, download. Messed around a little with menus (most important thing was change the rotation thing from turntable to trackball so it would move in a way I was used to) and made a mutant cube.

Last night, I was on a roll. I went to bed slightly later than intended.
This morning, 3yo woke me up repeatedly. First, sometime before the sun came up. Then shortly after the sun came up and the blue light was caning my eyes. Then after the sun came up. And shortly after JJ staggered out of bed I did the same seeing as I couldn’t sleep anyway.
Funding, distribution and musings on my sanity (or lack thereof)

Business has been going pretty well. This is great, and it also means I haven’t had a chance to work much on AR. I’ve been proofing and editing the scripts in between banging my head against code and deciphering client requests, and spent a whack of Sunday working on Red, but I’m pretty sure at this stage that I won’t be ready to animate the first ep by the end of the year. I am refusing to have panic attacks about it.
Musings on The Cloud

clouds (Photo credit: Extra Medium)
And Zemanta gives me pretty cloud pictures like this one.
I’m actually talking about that cloud computing “fad” (seen the term tossed around to describe it, wonder if it’s a fad like Facebook and the internet in general is a fad).
A friend from work recently asked if I had a Dropbox account. I didn’t, so he asked if would create one so we could collaborate on some work I’m helping him out with (and as a bonus he’d get extra space for the referral). The Cloud is something I’ve been aware of but otherwise generally ignored until I had it almost literally shoved in my face by my Android tablet asking me if I would like to sync contacts and calendars and files into the cloud (both from Google and from ASUS, I said no). I ruminated a bit on it and then said yeh sure.
Sometimes I wish I was interesting...

Aside from a dialogue tweak to viii or ix, it’s been a good few months since I touched any of the last seven eps, which means it’s been a year or so since I touched the first seven. It’s that “done” that I’ve felt confident enough to send it to two people I trust implicitly to tell me whether or not it’s actually a load of crap, and if it’s not a load of crap, if anyone other than myself will be capable of understanding it (I’ve been doing it for that long it wouldn’t surprise me if there were patches where people would not have a clue what was going on but I know).
Not on track. Don't panic.

The scripts are still done (it’s been months and I still haven’t changed/edited).
I don’t know if I’m on track to be able to start animating by the end of the year. Just thought about the amount of work involved, there’s sound and voice actors and…I have a low level panic attack happening in the back of my brain somewhere which is making me think about hyperventilating but up here on the surface I’m calm and all is well and I just keep plugging and thinking about writing reviews for Lightwave 11 (I got a free upgrade because I bought 10 a couple of months ago which I thought was very awesome of NewTek) and gIMP.
Family themed photos and miscellaneous ramblings

Yesterday, we went out for a drive. Christmas Island isn’t the biggest island in the world, if you point the car’s nose down the road and drive without stopping along any major track you’ll end up back where you started in about half an hour.
We went out in an exploratory mood and took many photos. Of course all the photos JJ took while we were out and about were with Kerchunk and nothing on Snap so there’s nothing I can post. We’ll just have to go out again and take more when the battery charger arrives.
New age, new year, not new resolutions, and photos

Happy new year everyone! gleki ninyna’anunsla if you speak lojban :)
Somehow, from somewhere, I have this 7 year old.
The Little Big Boy turned 7. He requested and got a chocolate cake which my mum made. It was very tasty. The “oldies” were commenting on how fast he turned 7. I’m trying to work out how he survived that long ;)
AR notes: mashing a calendar for AR
Friday, 4 November 2011 @ 2:18pm
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.
