This seemed a lot longer when I planned it in my notebook at lunch. GitHub user project (both sides) BitBucket user SCM Schedule ocornut imgui g-pechorin None Periodic Install hg-git You’ll have to do this on the Jenkins server You’ll have to do it either for the Jenkins user or all I’m using an OsX machine as my host, so I was able to use easy_install to install hg-git and dulwich setup a project on GitHub create a Jenkins Freestyle project which runs periodically Polling the SCM was NOT an option since there’s no default branch on GitHub … this is a quirk of hg-git … I think … IIRC/YRMV - so sling me a tweet or whatever if I’m wrong program the job to pull from git, push to hg, and ignore results of 1 this was only elaborate because I needed it to not fail when there were no changes #!

I’m still trying to catch up on stuff following Develop. I’ve decided to write a post about my experience(s) switching my work over to SubRepos. I am unaware of the “reason” why they’re considered “bad.” Perhaps it’s a Unix thing? Maybe they don’t work as well as people feel that they should? Whatever I have a (secret) project called “nite-nite/” in which I use and develop some public-domain headers. I want this public-domain stuff to be … well … public-domain and visible to all.

Mother told me to try something different. {% youtube NKtWPRFU_HA %} I made a stop-motion video (mostly to see if I could) with bits I had lying around or withing a 5 minute walk. … also, I wanted to see if I could record “blocked out” storyboards since I’m a crap pose drawing person. I spent £2 on some pipe cleaners and a dopey phone stand. I took the pictures on my phone.

Literally the punchiest title I could come up with. I’ve been told that heterogeneous GPU setups are ridiculously slower than a single-GPU. This is largely an anecdotal shrug of “hey - a second GPU doesn’t really slow my computer down in any meaningful manner at all!” I’m sure that I did this all wrong and that the GPU is capable of being tweaked into a setting where this all becomes conclusively - the legwork for that isn’t interesting to me so I haven’t done it.

I have had several geese charge me - this is a poor approximation. I was quite young and the geese were acclimated to humans, more importantly, they knew how tasty the french fries and clam strips we carried were. I never had a chance, nor will I ever forget. Honking with a bestial hunger, the savage geese charged! Pursing me across the fried clam shop’s parking lot, my mother could only cackle as she scrambled for the camera.

I was playing with Python’s binary extension system and was impressed with the simplicity. I think that the usage of setup.py encourages a consistent ecosystem … as opposed to the more open conventions used by Java and CLR. (I followed the generic instructions and they worked fine on Windows 8.1 - disregard the hype/hate!) Example on GitHub

In which I pontificate on the subject of Hungarian Notation Hungarian Notation is a contentious topic It boils down to an ambiguity for the word “type” within English / C++. MicroSfot’s modern style-guide says not to use “Abbreviations and Acronyms” or “Hungarian Notation” - originally Hungarian Notation was a style of abbreviation. I’m going to paraphrase a long blog post by Joel on Software and summarize my thoughts at the end.

Awhile ago I undertook a goofy little “game-play study” with space ships. It has space ships I’m calling it Space-Ships. I wanted to see if 2D game-play (like S.P.A.Z.) could “feel” like traditional 3D. (like Freelancer) To study this I built a game-play prototype with a 2.5D chase-cam in (Unity) a 3D game engine. I used engine’s existing rigid body simulator (PhysX) to provide a limited version of physics. After constraining everything to a 2D plane and fiddling with the inertia values in various ways I was happy with the flight mechanics.

I have an old Unity project that I haven’t looked at in awhile - this one. If memory serves; assembling a WebGL version is slow and boring - so I’m making my eager little Jenkins server do it. Really I’m a bit bored with sbt-launch malarkey and I wanted to see if I could get this rolling. Broadly the steps that I followed went like this; Install Unity (5.3.3) with WebGL modules 5.

In which I ramble a bit about setting up CI for this very blog. I have a Jenkins server running on my OsX computer. (… or … I’m setting one up anyway) I also have (am establishing?) a blog built by Hexo … because that seems the right way to do this sort of thing. My constraints of “MarkDown” and “no really - let me use MarkDown because I’m going to have a lot of code fragments” seem alien to most blogging software - “Hexo delivers” as the kids say.
