perforce version managment
installed the evaluation version of the perforce version control system after advice from avery and it seems very nice so far. visual studio integration, etc… looks like a winner to me, especially the “free” license for a single server with up to two clients.
also took a look at visual assist, mainly because i left my MSDN-CDs at home and intellisense seems to not work without it…
teaser
i might have an idea for the wavelet-image compression to make it a lot faster. maybe… we’ll see.
Precomputed Radiance Transfer
http://research.microsoft.com/~ppsloan/ has a very good paper on lighting (and (self-)shadowing) called “Precomputed Radiance Transfer for Real-Time Rendering in Dynamic, Low-Frequency Lighting Environments”. very interesting. dariusz?
Competing for Annoyance
strato (my web-hoster) is now competing w/ creative about who annoys me most: for anyone that’s interested, here’s proof that it is most likely a creative-driver-bug occuring on my new & shiny tyan tiger mpx w/ 2 * athlon 1800+.
not fixed
update: creative soundblaster audigy still (sometimes) crashes in winamp (when releasing the wave-out device. got a stack-trace & everything, but i doubt the support will listen). i’d even sign an NDA, if they’d sent me the source so that i can fix it myself… :-/ but i doubt they’d do that.
uncooperative acpi
i’d still love to use hibernate. don’t know where the problem is… BootVis doesn’t write its log, /BOOTLOG only logs on a regular start-up (not a hibernate-resume). i’m stuck. even when i use all signed drivers (highpoint for adaptec 1200a, disable wintv), it freezes on resume. maybe the tyan-bios needs updated ACPI-tables?
