Now publishing with the new version of Blogger. Tried to hold out as long as possible, but my parents were getting worried due to lack of updates.
The “new” you!

Something is happening
Finally got some of the code for my diploma / dissertation working…
Hello?
Still alive. Trying to get some stuff for diploma project done…
Time Allocation is a difficult Problem
Been busy optimising the wavelet-code (but not really getting anywhere… hand-made assembly for the bit-encoding gains 20-30% max). Even busier playing “Ikaruga” and “Animal Crossing” (US Import as it probably won’t come out in Europe)…
Via Brazil
Watched the trailer for the CG short-film “The Cathedral” which has won quite a few prizes… Looks very nice and I’d very much like to see the whole thing.!
Ian Banks’ Formula
I’ve been reading quite a bit of Ian M. Banks lately (“Consider Phlebas”, “Excession”, “Inversion”, and currently “Look to Windward”). Quite nice, but the books are too short (taken me 2 days on average for one of them) and seem too focused on providing a semi-memorable non-happy ending.
I still prefer Vernor Vinge as he has – in my opinion – more of a plausible technological backdrop and vision. And more dread… 😉 But until his next book comes out, Banks is a very welcome distraction.
Exams Post-Mortem
Yes, I somehow managed the 24h exam in “Nonlinear Dynamical Sytems” as well (but was too lazy too post).
