MAKE TIME

I'm permanently going off-line on IM services. That stuff is too much of a time sink. I'm still reachable through e-mail. Thank you.

Spammers seem to be scripting their attacks. Let's face it, that's not too hard. Maybe we need catchas.

Wolfram Alpha is making me feel in the future. Fun.

Looks like there's a movie coming out about Hypatia of Alexandria, the 4th century Greek mathematician and astronomer who, unfortunately, is less famous for her actual works than for being torn to pieces by a Christian lynch mob led by pious bishop Cyril (who would later become Saint Cyril).

I'd be ecstatic if the movie showed mathematics, but the synopsis at Wikipedia suggests that the odds of that happening are slim. Still, I'm all for movies about martyrs of reason. There's a trailer.

Speaking of mathematics, Wolfram Alpha is out.

Stuff I've been doing outside work

I haven't posted in a while, so here's an update.

  • Game coding: I'm writing yet another game. This time I'm working with some talented artists, so who knows. I won't say much about it except that it will feature audible explosions in the vacuum of space. Here's a debugging screenshot of an octree (that stuff really helps). I wrote a firing pattern scripting system, inspired on BulletML, but using Scheme. Here's a screenshot of an editor for a 2D shmup, featuring my hacked OpenGL GUI toolkit.

  • Prolog: I played a bit with Prolog, after reading on the 5th Generation Computer project. A really interesting piece of computing history I didn't know about. Prolog is mind-explodey.

  • Learning Japanese: it's apparent that my crappy English is at a local minimum and will hardly get any better, so I decided to try something different. Memorized the kana, thanks to Kanatest (I should send the authors a postcard). I'm learning on my own, using this book/CD set, which isn't bad. I'll try to take the JLPT Level 4 by the end of the year.

I'm also studying for a few more Sun certifications, but I guess that counts as work.
