Notes: Hi There.
Ages ago, before modern search
engines, when you searched for IDCMP you got the original
meaning of the acronym, which stemmed from the good ole
days of the Amiga.
These days, when you search
for IDCMP, you find this page; and me. (Sometimes you'll
find non-me related things too).

Wave Tracing: Ray Tracing for Sound
Here's the pitch: With regular ray tracing, rays of light are traced backward from a pixel of the camera, to an object and eventually to a light source (or lack thereof).

Nothing mentioned until after my purchase was complete that I needed a Windows-only downloader. I didn't test this under Wine. Aside: The EA Store website allows + in email addresses, but the Spore online login does not.

Chromium and Bees
Watching what Google does feels like watching X-Files. I want to believe there's some grand master plan, but I'm pretty sure they're just making things up as they go. Hank Williams over at Why Does Everything Suck pretty much covers my thoughts on Google's new web browser in his Huh? and Huh! posts.Syndicated 2008-09-03 19:28:00 (Updated 2008-09-03 20:06:53) from Idcmp
Nine Handy Tips for Taking the Summer Off
Six weeks ago I quit my job; six weeks later I've never been happier. I had grown jaded about technology and worn down about my work. This post isn't about how to quit your job, how to budget for the summer or how to get your next job; it's what I've learned in the brief oasis between those points in my life. The Beginning 1.
