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.
diana_coman: jfw: did you keep a journal while away as you said?
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
diana_coman: at any rate, write the things on your mind first, there's no reason not to.
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).
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.
diana_coman: in his view, assets for run-time loading are best transmitted in binary, engine-specific formats.
diana_coman: drat, wrong channel
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.
jfw: Ack on writing what's on my mind first.
diana_coman: not an unusual fate for those "waiting quietly and patiently" at that; still, why u so mean to notebook!
jfw: haha.
jfw: not sure though, succumbed to distractions I suppose.
diana_coman: sounds most likely; and given your earlier admission, it was probably an overdue break really.
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.
BingoBoingo: It's not like the Montevideo trip included time for rest.
BingoBoingo: Pretty much the opposite.
jfw: heh, walking through the surf was probably the most restful thing there besides bed, yep.
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
jfw: well not just study ofc but words & deeds that got you in that position.
diana_coman: jfw: heh, so ~when is the estimate for your catch-up ?
diana_coman: dorion: the above ^ q for you too.
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.
jfw bbl tonight
BingoBoingo: jfw: Too early for congratulations on that.
diana_coman: jfw: all right.
