did my first opengl programming… after years of directx, quite refreshing really (SDL helped a lot ;))

finished w/ exams… so now i can get back to living (no, i wasn’t dead…). 😉

yes, i’m back and yes, i should’ve started revision earlier than saturday evening :s.

travel plans have been changed: i’m now leaving thursday (that’s tomorrow!). :s

i was more than shaken by tuesday’s attack(s) on the WTC-complex and the pentagon. i happened to be watching CNN as the whole thing began to unravel itself and became increasingly frightened as things went on. i have visited the world-trade-center myself, but TV or photographs simply cannot make you grasp the scale of the things that happened there.

also, i’m getting quite upset at companies/institutions that use this event to tell us how “human and feeling” they are. in double-page spreads w/ the most prominent thing being their logo. i simply expect them to feel grief, because if they didn’t, they would’ve lost all humanity/conscience long ago, so there’s no need to be telling me that you donated $XXX,XXX for those that suffered – but if they didn’t tell me, they wouldn’t profit from it and – hence – wouldn’t do it…

for something that expresses quite well how i feel, try http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?date=2001-09-13. alas, life does indeed go on – it has to…

for all my japanese visitors that are looking for emery yoshikawa or wakana sakai (or jun kusanagi, anna ohura or someone else): there are no pictures on this site, but try Cuty Mask Melon; maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for. 😉
