What's everyone up to right now?

What happens at the end of October?

Been busy as shit.

I am learning JavaScript on the fly for a WebGL class, and coding every night all night. I'm sure my code is hacky as shit, but I made a pretty fern.



That's 16,000 points drawn. Recursion, ftw.

Can you say a word how you did it? I once did trees, but iteratively...

Each point depends on the last, hence the recursion. There's a 4x6 matrix of multipliers that use a probability to select which row gets multiplied to generate the next set of vertices.

x(n+1) = a*x + b*y + e
y(n+1) = c*x + d*y + f

So
(a b)
(c d)

is a rotation matrix?... is it chosen differently in each step?

Translation.

1 of 4 (a, b, c, d, e, f) arrays gets chosen according to a randomly generated number between 0 and 1.

What happens at the end of October?

It gets cold. max temp around 16C (60F).
And rainy.... well.... rain becomes serious around late January/February. And then goes away in March... comes back in force during April and then we enter Summer in May.

16C cold?

That's hot.

Really hot.

16C cold?

Really hot.

dude... forecast for today: max temp 30C.
This is a nice temp.
Anything above 25C and below 33C is nice.

More on this in the coming days in my "TRJF's 4000-mile road trip" thread, but funny story:

1. I am in Natchez, Mississippi.
2. I spent the day touring historic Natchez, Mississippi, encountering numerous points of interest.
3. One such point of interest was a monument to Richard Wright, famous author of "Native Son" and "Black Boy".
4. I attended a fancy dinner party at a famous Natchez estate.
5. The guest of honor was Richard Grant, famous non-fiction author of such books as "God's Middle Finger" (about the lawless wilds of Mexico) and the recent "Dispatches from Pluto", and a writer for The Smithsonian magazine (including the cover story of next month's issue).

1+2+3+4+5=

6. I immediately and publicly addressed Richard Grant as "Mr. Wright."

Smooooooooooooooooooooooooooth

But, 1+2+3+4+5=15!
