Two days of MoJF in a row. You'd never expect it. But I made something so incredible that I have to show you! Not a picture, but a movie! That's right. If you have a moment, you can download it (xvid) and watch it with DivX 5 or XviD CVS. It is 800x600. XviD encoded at 6.27 fps in transcode. DivX encoded at 4.32 fps in transcode. You can blame my lack of performance on my lack of ram (I only have 256 MB of PC2700 DDR RAM) and I'm using my swap. You might also blame the fact that I also have to render, copy data from video memory to normal memory, etc. That takes a lot of memory bandwidth. At 320x240, it can encode at ~15 fps, but is -- of course -- less quality. But I'm very happy that I created this movie in Linux using my own software: AltSci3D Anime Producer. It's the newest in the line of AltSci3D products. It uses the Linux-only movie encoder, Transcode to create movies from the 3D scene which I created in Anime Director.
JF is not on my mind. February 18 will be forever ingrained in my mind as the first time I've witnessed a murder. Twenty Seattle Police shot an African American man to death across the street from me. I saw the turn of events from the steps of my house forty yards from the scene. My full statement has been posted here, but probably you'll read my misquotes in the Seattle P-I.
Greetings, another non-regular update posted by your truly, Javantea. Tonight, I made AltSci3D Anime Director work. There was a few bugs and an interesting problem which I wasn't able to solve the other day. It took me 2 hours to make it happen. I'm happy about it. I had planned a 16 hour day into my schedule to fix it. That means that my plan is on the target... That's right, tonight I did a lot of thinking and writing comparing my options. Since I haven't gotten a job and I'm now quite broke, my plan is to continue. You see, I got a new credit card. I had planned not to use it to rack up more debt, but now I have no money and no job, so I'm going to rack up some more debt. I need a job desperately. I'm a hard worker and I wouldn't mind very many jobs out there. But it seems that no job that I apply for will give me a job. I wouldn't mind painting houses very much, but I can't find a job painting houses. I tried painting last year, but they found someone else, you see. Pretty pathetic, eh? I sent in two resumes tonight. Hopefully one will pan out. So I didn't spend 4 hours planning on using a credit card, what did I spend 4 hours contemplating? What video game should I write while I wait to get a job. You see that since I have no job and no life, I have 120 hours to spend in front of the computer. I spend it quite wisely, but since the summer has come, I've been spending it doing stuff that is not as fun. So I decided that I'm going to work on Hack Mars. I bet many of you are saying: "Don't do it! No!"
Since you're probably far more interested in the picture than the commentary, you can safely read the final paragraph of this article.
