OK. ATI's OpenGL drivers suck, like the legend says.

Why does
for(int i=0; i«nstrips; ++i)
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, (GLsizei)count[i], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const void*)indices[i]);
work, and
glMultiDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, (const GLsizei*)count, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const void**)indices, nstrips);
doesn't?

algorithmics of life

Worse than not understanding why it doesn't work is not unterstanding why it works.
Use the force? It has to be there. Some uncontrolable part of me tells me that I should do this, while I try to think why I am doing that. Because that should work and not this.
So much work to reinvent the wheel. But I like to think that I'm working on ball bearings. Sounds a lot better, no?
I guess it's that time of the year when I should watch The Meaning of Life again.

Half?

Some days ago I found out that there is a surprisingly small amount of search results at google when you search for stuff related to OpenGL vertex buffers, and half floats. Well, they work. I supose that's all you need to know about it if you're interested.

The work with scenept.untergrund.net keeps progressing slowly. That's just because coding php is boring. I spend more time trying to find out why stuff is working istead of not working like in a regular programming language. Seriously. Why are there so many hidden (???) variables in bbpress's code? Why don't most functions simply return values instead of using secret variables?

ScenePt

The development of the new scenept portal is progressing smoothly. BBpress is very easy to modify. A lot easier than I expected. At least to remove features. I don't think I did add any new feature yet.

Day: type 7.

Today it's one of those strange days when I wake up relativly early, I go run for a few minutes, I shave, I dress some clean clothes - not the usual top of the drawer stuff - and I put some goo on my hair after having a bath.

There's something special about it.

Something about listening Joy Division in a dark room, lighten by a single candle, while lying in a corner in front of my hot steamy green tea makes me feel calm and relaxed.
I feel like I'm elsewhere.
Away from everything else. Just me surounded by Martin Hannett's engineering. In front of a tasty cloud of green tea.
Alone.

P.S.: It may also work with Philip Glass or some noise in special ocasions.

Carving a tunnel.

Rush, rush

I wanna see, I wanna see ya


Making tunnels is serious business. Specially the satisfying way.

He's a very eclectic guy...

...he listens to all kind of music: black metal, heavy metal, goth metal.
