News from the Secret Laboratory

Fri Jul 20, 2007, 8:57 AM
It’s been a busy Spring and Summer so far; but just about all the work I’ve been doing has been on my web sites, so there hasn’t been much to upload here. Last year I spent about nine months on a very large project – so large that even those months barely scratched the surface of it – and this year I’ve been trying to undo some of the resulting neglect of my commercial ventures. Since although I may be a shiftless layabout, I’m not a wealthy shiftless layabout.

Late last week I got distracted from what I ought to have been doing by a program that generates height maps, for realistic 3D terrain, and I spent a few days mucking about with it. Making terrain is a really interesting problem and this is one more tool in my tool box for solving that. I sort of justified the time I spent with that software by writing it up in my Webomator blog.



Those terrain experiments have me thinking about a couple of new print-resolution images; not sure what will come of that yet, but I am thinking. I solved a problem that was giving me fits in my 3D software and that makes it a lot more pleasant to goof around with it again. So, like I said, things are sort of germinating, but I’m not sure yet where they’ll go.

I see that I’m creeping up toward 50,000 page views here. I feel like we should have a party or something when I hit it. Fireworks?

One of the things I’d like to add to the Web-O-Blog is an article or a whole section that’s all about print-on-demand services, specifically for artists. I’ve got a feeling that might be a resource that you folks might like. But of course it’s a relatively big thing to put together, so it’s not there yet.

I guess I’ve got a fair number of things germinating, now that I think about it. And I haven’t even mentioned my “lemon trees in Ohio” experiment, have I?

~*^~How do you know this is reality? Is any of it real or is it just someone's dream?~^*~

Ret-terrific.
I love your style.
I have a request--could you use the following vacuum tube design and put it on a machine with a look like the Toaster with Two Brains?
I envision a two-tube device, with one tube on each side like on the bottom part of the toaster...It would go on the dashboard of an electric car (something like the radio powered car).
