lost cel phone / i love c++

I have yet again misplaced my cel phone. Do not panic -- just send email :)

...it will turn up again eventually....

Anti-Grain Geometry -

Anti-Grain Geometry - is a super-platform-independent rendering engine for C++.

I'm in LOVE.

Have I mentioned that I'm in LOVE? Cross-platform C++ anti-aliased graphics. Really cross-platform! like G3D!



This fits into the saga -- I'm trying to dynamicly generate textures based on a simulation of fluid flow, to make a cutting plane with a painterly representation. I want an imaging library... and I want to be able to develop on windows and linux. Nothing else will do.



Meanwhile, I'm also trying to get GLSL going on my tablet. This is apparently a bit tricky. I'm kind of going in two directions at once: I could work on getting GLSL going on my tablet, and go straight to writing a shader to generate a texture dynamicly, or I could first generate the texture traditionally -- on the CPU, not the GPU. I imagine debugging will be much easier if I develop on the CPU first.



I am having SO MUCH FUN. I am doing this because it DELIGHTS me! I made a rake in VR today -- a streamline generating rake. In 1992 I helped one of the graphics group members by typing for him when his wrists were giving out -- he was working on building a streamline-generating rake for analyzing fluid flow around the space shuttle. Now I'm doing it myself.

Bug [ 1033686 ] GImage::GImage(filename) dies on certain images

Three days! How rad is that?

Translation for the non-software-developers out there: I found a bug in the g3d library, and reported it by filing a bug in the project's bug tracker. A developer named Corey -- not at Brown, not someone I've ever met -- identified the source of the bug, fixed it, and committed a fix, within three days of when I filed the bug.

This is an everyday thing in the land of open source, sure, but it's the first time that it's happened to me.

Try that with a fucking Microsoft library.

Thank you, Corey! Thank you, Morgan!
