Remember, back somewhere around February last year, when a company called "Avatar Reality" proudly announced its next-best-thing to Second Life, the CryEngine2-based "Blue Mars"? Well, they did publish some nice screenshots, but it didn't leave much of an impression to me that they actually had a clue as of what they're doing. So, out of sheer curiosity I left them my email address, and today they've confirmed that I can tell everyone that I'm in their closed beta as I have finally registered an account.

Eine kleine Zusammenfassung der letzten paar Monate, insbesondere für alle, die dies auf Twitter lesen. |

They say mathematics are the language of the nature, but Polar Roses don't look particularly natural to me:

Even though I aimed to work on something completely different, I'm making progress on my GNU/C/SDL/2D particle system. It's been through a couple iterations, and I was switching some core parts from cartesian (X/Y) to polar ("aim and distance") coordinates just recently, but so far it can do all the necessities plus a couple cool things, too. Makes me proud enough to record crappy videos of it, so if you think you can stand me tweaking oddly labeled text entries for 13 minutes without sound, then go ahead and download. ;) |

Sometimes you can't see the wood for all the trees around you. I realized this today, as I remembered something that I said a while ago, without really thinking about it: "The soundcard drivers are the only thing keeping me on Windows XP". |

In an attempt to keep the dust of what I've learned back in school, I once again started a couple electronics projects. Mainly microcontroller and LED based, tho. A 7-Segment-Display here, an ATtiny13-based 6-LED bargraph replacement for my harddisc LED there, and there are still a couple stepper motors I have lying around that would like to get my attention. And last but not least, there's the 12-LED binary clock that I want to build for a buddy of mine. |
