diana_coman: in other sliding, I didn't get an article out today. I intended to continue the code writeup series, but had trouble engaging; not from lack of materials at hand, but my mind was elsewhere, mainly things I'd been reading and things from the trip. I expect I'll be able to expand on that soon; got some thoughts captured at least.

jfw: did you keep a journal while away as you said?

diana_coman

at any rate, write the things on your mind first, there's no reason not to.

oh, and he sent me the link to his font rendering library for the demo which is windows only (I had seen the link and at first I didn't realise why I hadn't seen the demo - until I scrolled and found out why,namely windows only).

he does say in answer to one of my questions that he ("we") is working on a 2D vector graphics format too, OpenVGX, to be able to specify 3D geometry + camera view and then render the result as a 2D diagram.

in his view, assets for run-time loading are best transmitted in binary, engine-specific formats.

diana_coman: I did not. There the notebook lay, waiting quietly and patiently to be used, but got no love until nearly the end.

17:40

jfw

Ack on writing what's on my mind first.

17:41

diana_coman

not an unusual fate for those "waiting quietly and patiently" at that; still, why u so mean to notebook!

17:42

jfw

haha.

17:43

jfw

not sure though, succumbed to distractions I suppose.

17:46

diana_coman

sounds most likely; and given your earlier admission, it was probably an overdue break really.

Though even if it could, I don't imagine I'd stay satisfied for long, with all play and no work as it were, especially with such important work still to be done around here.

It's not like the Montevideo trip included time for rest.

17:48

BingoBoingo

Pretty much the opposite.

17:50

jfw

heh, walking through the surf was probably the most restful thing there besides bed, yep.

17:56

jfw

BingoBoingo: I saw your studiousness paid off with that mike_c advocate deal (though still behind the times on how it may have proceeded since), a big congrats on that

18:01

jfw

well not just study ofc but words & deeds that got you in that position.

18:14

diana_coman

jfw: heh, so ~when is the estimate for your catch-up ?

18:15

diana_coman

dorion: the above ^ q for you too.

diana_coman: it will be my main focus tomorrow through Sunday. I'll update if it looks like it can't be done by then.
