| jfw: | 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. | [01:37] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: did you keep a journal while away as you said? | [03:40] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-12-18 12:46:55 jfw: likewise curious on the writing, maybe I'll at least keep a journal to stay in something of the habit | [03:40] |
| diana_coman: | at any rate, write the things on your mind first, there's no reason not to. | [03:44] |
| diana_coman: | 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). | [03:50] |
| diana_coman: | 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. | [03:52] |
| diana_coman: | in his view, assets for run-time loading are best transmitted in binary, engine-specific formats. | [03:53] |
| diana_coman: | drat, wrong channel | [03:53] |
| jfw: | diana_coman: I did not. There the notebook lay, waiting quietly and patiently to be used, but got no love until nearly the end. | [13:50] |
| jfw: | Ack on writing what's on my mind first. | [13:50] |
| diana_coman: | not an unusual fate for those "waiting quietly and patiently" at that; still, why u so mean to notebook! | [13:51] |
| jfw: | haha. | [13:52] |
| jfw: | not sure though, succumbed to distractions I suppose. | [13:54] |
| diana_coman: | sounds most likely; and given your earlier admission, it was probably an overdue break really. | [13:56] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2020-01-06 00:10:19 jfw: I'll admit a part of me has been reluctant about returning to normalcy - "this can totally go on forever, right??" 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. | [13:56] |
| BingoBoingo: | It's not like the Montevideo trip included time for rest. | [13:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | Pretty much the opposite. | [13:58] |
| jfw: | heh, walking through the surf was probably the most restful thing there besides bed, yep. | [14:00] |
| 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 | [14:06] |
| jfw: | well not just study ofc but words & deeds that got you in that position. | [14:11] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: heh, so ~when is the estimate for your catch-up ? | [14:25] |
| diana_coman: | dorion: the above ^ q for you too. | [14:25] |
| jfw: | 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. | [14:37] |
| jfw: | bbl tonight | [14:41] |
| BingoBoingo: | jfw: Too early for congratulations on that. | [15:05] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: all right. | [15:45] |
