Today was a very special day for me. We were playing mahjong in the office and in the last deal of the east round I managed to pull off my very first kokushi muso¹. Tfk was the unfortunate one to discard a chun into my tenpai. Poor thing. ^^




¹ Hand with one of each of the 13 different terminal and honour tiles plus one extra terminal or honour tile (13 han).

9:10
Check clock: 20 minutes till alarm. I feel completely awake, so why not get up. Besides, today's an important day and I'm anxious.

9:15
I'll do the experiment today. yeah. probably a good idea to do it today. For now, I'll store the article flagged as private. Then i can surprise them. Heheh.

9:20
Should I eat breakfast? No. Wait, I have a bagel at the office.

9:45
Off to work. Hold on. Check the tracking status first. "Processing at delivery Post Office" it says. Now off to work.

10:12
At work. Made a little detour and got a bottle of water from the pizzashop on the corner. Not many people here at the office yet. Back to the same difficult problem I was trying to resolve yesterday. But first, I need to check the tracking status.

11:30 ..ish
Maizi needs help with math regarding camera transformations and draging one point on a plane. Heheh. Made a vector. Vectors on a Plane. Heheh. I'm so clever, tee-hee.
His keyboard malfunctions as well. Caps-lock led keeps getting turned on and off quite quickly and quite randomly. Replaced the keyboard with my old keypunch. I can now finally start sodomizing his code.

12:07
Resolved maizi's problem. Get element coordinates, multiply them by the camera matrix from the right. Then add drag deltas on XY plane. Then multiply result with the inverse camera matrix from the right. Ta-dah. Result seems to satisfy him and I take my leave.

12:08
Checking tracking status. Yatta. I think it's here.

13:32
Progress! Now picking works a little bit better than before. 90% done. ..and 90% to go.

13:48
Time for lunch. Engine and Editor team are all going it seems. I'm gonna have a russian schnitzel. It's like the usual schnitzel, but with lots of onions and sour cream. Aaaah.. nanika tabetai desu~!

14:22
Back from lunch. Gotta keep discipline and carry out the experiment until the day is over. Maybe I should lift the private flag from the article now? Yeah. I'll do that.

14:28
Maizi bailed on tonight's mahjong game. Crap. Now we're down to me and nitraM.

14:35
Muhv made a joke.

<Muhv> i'm as lost as you are on this one
<Muhv> :p

14:43
I guess tonight's mahjong game is cancelled. Anyway, I should pay less attention to IRC and more to the code I'm writing.

14:58
It seems everybody has found out about this experiment now. Greetings. ^^

I just remembered: at 9AM someone called me and asked for Vljadislav[sic]. Strange. Come to think of it, that's probably why I was wide awake in the first place.

16:08
52 minutes till Wolf o'clock. Or maybe i should skip wolf today and run to the post office for my package I've been waiting for all this time.
Oh, and I think I've almost cracked the problem i was solving earlier. :)

16:28
32 minutes till Wolf o'clock

<maizi> aga v2ike w00f 2kki
<hentai-sama> eitea
<hentai-sama> kas maksab
<maizi> W00000000000000000000000000000000000000000f nahuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
<hentai-sama> sa bakatööd ei pidand tegema?
<maizi> bljäd
<maizi> jah pidin
<hentai-sama> :p
<maizi> aga väike w00f ei ole kunagi paha teind :P

16:50
Ah.. today's first Möger. ^.^

17:14
Wolf o'clock! Finally! XLoom uploaded a new release too that is the answer to the universe, life and everything.

18:29
Wolf over, home.

19:01
Tadaima! My package finally arrived! Unfortunately I don't have a camera to show you any pictures of it.

19:18
Awesome. The goods are all intact and the guy added some stuff for free too! ^^

23:09
I have successfully sat on my ass and done nothing productive for the last 3 and a half hours. I watched two movies that both sort of sucked. One of which was
Rocket Science and it was quite a strange one. It's rated below 7 and usually doesn't show up on my radar, but I decided to take a gamble. It wasn't entirely disappointing actually. It had it's moments, but something was missing. Oh, and the soundtrack was really good. :)

00:10
Well, there you go. My usual day. This experiment was somewhat pointless, but fun. ^^

Kuidas saada hoiatus vales kohas tee ületamise eest...
kell 4 hommikul, kui ainus auto on kaugusest lähenev
liikluspolitsei väikebuss

Kõndisime klassivennaga Annelinna suunas. Ühtegi inimest
ega autot ei olnud liikunud meie läheduses juba mõnda aega.
Vesteldes omavahel sellest, kuidas inimene on inimese
sõber ja kuidas inimesed ei aja juuksekarva iga pisiasja
pärast lõhki, möödus märkamatult aeg ning olimegi jõudnud
kurikuulsa Sõpruse puiestee, Kalda tee, Sõpruse silla
ja Pika tänava vahelise ringtee juurde. Kaugusest
paistis lähenevat üks sõiduk, kuid see oli alles
paarisaja meetri kaugusel, seega ületasime rahuliku
südamega sõidutee, teades, et ei jää kellelegi ette.

Olles jõudnud üle sõidutee ning juba sellest
sellesama tee jagu kaugemalegi jõudnud, kuulsime
seljatagant signaalitörtsatust.

Kes võiks küll olla see tuttav, kes nii hilisel
õhtutunnil soovib meiega vestelda? Ümber
pöördudes nägime sinivalget väikebussi, mis oli
peatunud ringteele viiva tee peale joonistatud
valgel alal, millest väljus vormiriietuses isik, kes
ütles: "Palun tulge siia."

Ütlesin "Tervist!", ja iseenesestmõistetavalt suundusime
bussi juurde.

"Ületasite teed vales kohas." Hmm... Mhh?
"Kas varasemaid karistusi on?", kõlas järgmine küsimus.
"Ei ole", vastasime tõde mitte väänates.
"Siis teeme ainult hoiatuse, distsiplineerime. Palun
tulge siia auto juurde. Kas isikuttõendavat dokumenti on?"
"On küll," vastasime kooris ning ulatasime soovitud dokumendid.
"Kas siis siin kohas ei tohi teed ületada?", küsisin.
"Ei, näete, ülekäigurada on siinsamas", vastas
eeldatav politseiisik ning osutas ligikaudu 100 meetri kaugusel
olevale ülekäigurajale. Ise mõõtsin. Ligikaudselt. Aga
ei hakanud vaidlema ja kordusmõõtmist nõudma.
Mõtlesin, et huvitav, nad ütlesid, et me tuleks
nende keset teed seisva auto juurde mahitades seega
meid teistkordselt väidetavat seaduserikkumist toime panema.
"Tulge siiapoole, võite istuda, kui soovite", ütles politseinik.
"Tänan, ma pole väsinud", vastasin sedapuhku tõde pisut väänates.
Teine bussis istuv naispolitseinik hakkas rääkima minu klassivennaga.

"Aga kas see ülekäigurada ei ole mitte 100 meetri kaugusel?", küsisin.
"Ei see ringiga tuleb minna sealt nii. Ja teine on veel seal, isegi
kui see on mitte. Aga me teeme ainult hoiatuse, et teine kord teaksite."
Püüdsin pingsalt mõistatada, mida ta ütles ning hämmeldusin. Teised
ülekäigurajad ei vii siiski ju samasse kohta?

"Kas ma peaksin siis ringiga minema?", küsisin igaks juhuks üle,
et päris kindel olla.

"Jah peaksite küll. Me teeme ainult hoiatuse, et teinekord teaksite
paremini", kõlas kindel vastus mingit paberit vormistavalt
politseinikult, kes ei olnud seniajani vaevunud ennast tutvustama.

"Kas õpite või töötate?"
"Mõlemat"
"Mis on firma nimi, milles te töötate?"

Vastasin firma nimega, milles ma töötan ning mille hääldus on
ingliskeelne ning 18 sümbolit pikk.
"Paneme kirja, et õpite, sellest piisab", ütles seepeale politseinik
ning ulatas mulle protokolli allakirjutamiseks ning selgituse
panemiseks.
Lugesin paberit, kus linnuke oli pandud kohta, kus oli kirjas:
"Tee ületamine kohas, kus ülekäigurada või ristmik on lähemal kui
100 meetrit."
Küsisin igaks juhuks ise jubedalt häbi tundes oma ränga rikkumise
pärast: "Kas ringtee ei ole ristmik?"
"Ei, ringtee ei ole ristmik", kõlas vastus, "Me teeme ainult hoiatuse,
midagi hullu ei ole. Ainult hoiatuse, saite aru?"
"Jah, muidugi, selge."
"Võite minna, ja teine kord ületage teed õiges kohas."
"Suur tänu ja kõike head.", ütlesin hüvastigajätuks viisakalt.
Väljusin ning jäime klassivennaga seisma keset valget ala.
Ilmselgelt ei saanud me teed vales kohas ületada. Seda
enam, et valvas seadusesilm oli meie kõrval. Jäime nõutult
seisma ning arutama, mida edasi saaks teha. Politseinik,
tegi auto ukse uuesti lahti nähes meie nõutust ning
ütles: "Praegu minge ikka siit üle tee", mahitades
meid juba teist korda väidetavat seaduserikkumist korda saatma...

So, the engine I'm writing as my day job can do physics now. I have to say, it makes things really fun. See the video below. We're using the Newton Game Dynamics library. ^^

A few days ago XLoom suggested that we should test our product for random keyboard and mouse input (at some excessive rates). Just to be sure. Obviously, I named the test the Angry German Kid Test (who hasn't seen the youtube clip by now should crawl out from under the rock they've been hiding themselves and watch it now).

..And it actually found a bug. But now that this tiny insect has been squashed we can declare our program Angry German Kid Safe!
