Coming soon--A Lack of Updates!

I'm going to be gone again, this time for three weeks. But it's not like you expected anything to show up here for three weeks anyway.

Bézier curve

I learned how to make a bézier curve. I even wrote it up as a program!

Bezier_demo

If you don't like the curve it gives you (it's random), press the space bar, or "r" (for redraw). Otherwise press escape to quit.

There's an OS X .app in there, as well as a PC's .exe, and the source code, and SDL.dll (which is needed for the PC). A friend trying it on her mac says it didn't work, so you might need to fire up Xcode and recompile it or something.

If you want more information on Bézier curves, try the wikipedia article, or these notes.

advertising?

In the setup for this blog there is a link to google's Adsense. Normally I ignore bundled advertisements, but I'm looking at it thinking "if it actually gave me any money I might do it...." I seriously doubt it would, since (I'm guessing) the readership of this blog is about four (after a four month hiatus, I think even my four friends have forgotten about me), but I'm tempted nonetheless. Any one care to offer thoughts on this topic?

Bush says he does not live in a bubble

Well I guess that clears that up.

Rueters said so.

"It is a straightforward exercise to obtain the solution to the scalar wave equation."

Ever have one of those days when you are staring at something that looks like it should be easy but doesn't immediately come to you?

Dode Mus

A sparrow was killed for the crime of knocking over 23000 dominoes. Some outraged people have set up a website in its honor (Dutch language). For an English version, try the BBC.
