Luna-Canis

Jason had the GREAT idea to rename spa/ludini to BWAIN.

I’m keeping R&D notes on features I need to implement. But for a lot of things, I need to be able to create latex. There was this great feature I read about on Wordpress.com about being able to do math/latex on their blogs. This version of wordpress (2.0.2) doesn’t have that feature. I don’t have the freedom to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress, so I just created a new blog on their website.

I’ll done with the png implementation. Now returning to the for-loops.

I got an idea to combine mandelbrot stalks, a basic Mandala, some space invaders characters, and possibly one of the mooninites. The intension was to use the shading language for everything, but it’ll be a long time before its ready to do anything that useful. So I’m just creating c++ operators to do it. I hope it comes out nearly as cool as I’m visualizing it in my head….

Ok, maybe no mooninites, but definitely the space invader sprites.

I’m reading ‘2012 The Return of Quetzalcoatl’ by Daniel Pinchbeck. You can get it here. It brings together many disparate things in my mind and wraps them up nicely. I’ll only include a quote here and let you check it out on your own…

Soon I found myself rematerializing in the musty Haight-Ashbury attic from which I had launched. Coming out of my trance, I looked down at my arm. Standing on my sleeve was an intricate metropolis, a science-fiction city of glittering spires and emerald skyscrapers in which I could almost see the movements of an infinitesimal transport grid. I looked around at my friends sitting in a circle around me, and all of them appeared radically transformed. They were themselves, but patina’d with complex multicolored tattoos, sporting celestial headdresses, prismatic auras, and elaborate comic-book-superhero armatures. The thought occurred to me that we were actually space aliens or cosmic deities who had projected ourselves backward into this time, prearranging this crude but amusing encounter in “meat-space” from our holographic homeland. “Everyone is God,” I muttered as the vision faded away.
