Boldly tinkering with systems I don't fully understand since 1994!

Dude, you have a blog!

I should be writing here more often, jotting down miscellaneous thoughts and...stuff.

So here goes.

*ahem*

I want hardware OpenGL! Not hardware accelerated OpenGL, hardware OpenGL. A complete OpenGL server implemented entirely in hardware. Think of the performance benefits!

Failing that, at the very least some way to use DRI without X11 on my Mach64. I think DirectFB can do that, but, um, it seems rather buggy on this hardware.

Ice Cream - Deep Space Nine

So we got Deep Space Nine season one from the library this week. I haven't gotten around to watching it until now; when I'm thinking of getting a quantity of ice cream (to eat).

Now, isn't this odd? Because I always used to eat ice cream while watching DS9... my grayish heuristic engine is operating in obvious ways again....

Spree!

I went on a Nebula writing spree last night / this morning. Pretty much uninterrupted coding for four hours straight. I refactored the audio file loading code, and implemented Ogg Vorbis support. Then I found out that something I'd done had broken Lua automix... :(

So that pretty much ended my spree.

rlwimi

Most people get songs in their head. I, on the other hand, get S3TC DXT1, DXT3, and DXT5 in my head. Seriously.

I've also discovered the rlwimi instruction, which is definitely my favorite instruction now.

I hate being:

  1. Lazy
  2. Hungry
  3. Allergic to instant food
