If you looked at this picture, you might think it's a shot from a simple test program with stencil shadows, and that it would run at about 500 fps or thereabout. Only it isn't, it's all done with rays, so instead it runs below 1 fps (at least at a decent size). Of course, it would run a bit faster if it was optimized and such things, but whatever.

Look! B-splines! Mwhahaha! They're much easier to code when you actually don't miss a certain word in some text somewhere and you know what some certain thing mean, and don't just assume things will work out. Not to say that my first approach (that I won't be talking about) wasn't good, it was just that the end points kind of disagreed a bit... Hey, look, a three headed monkey!

Yes, that's right, the slog just turned 1 year old. Or rather it did 1 month and 2 days ago, but let's pretend it's the slog's birthday today. Hurrah!

- This music is crap.
- Ah, and from this we can conlude one thing: Either a) Your ability to judge music is weak, b) My ability to judge your ability to judge music is weak, or c) You're a hippo. Er, wait, hold a sec please, phone ... It was the FBI, they called to say count b) out.
- Well, I'm not a hippo!
- Really? Well, that leaves us with choice a) only. Unless, 2a) Your ability to judge whether you're a hippo or not is weak, 2b) My ability to find all possibilities is weak, or 2c) You really are a hippo, but are lying.
- Hmpf.
- Alright then, as my first statement was to say that your music judgment ability is weak, let's leave it at that.

There's a pitch just across the road from where I live, where strange people play football (soccer) and do other unmentionable things. It's usually quite annoying, because they can't seem to do it quiet -- indeed, they're shouting most of the time. For some weird reason, this was the case at the place I lived until 10 months ago, too. But that's not the point. The point is that it's usually very annoying, but not right now.

I can tell from your silence that you're all very shocked, but let me continue. You see, at the moment it's not very nice outside: it's dark, it's windy, it's cold, and it's raining, and the rain has been working for some time, so the pitch is almost covered by water. And in all that they're playing football. Mwhahahahahah! Great fun!

Today something extraordinary happened. I used an oven. And not a microwave oven, oh no, but a real one. I haven't used such a thing since I moved out from my parents place.

How did this come to pass, you ask? Well, it's related to the fact that I bought a pizza that was supposed to be cooked in a microwave oven. Or so I thought. Turned out it wasn't at all! Turned out it was a pizza for an ordinary oven. And I was hungry, so I wanted to eat it, so I didn't have much choice but to use the ordinary oven.

And that's the story of me and the oven.

How much stupid things can a stupid say, if a stupid can't say any stupid things?

Today I won a Pizza! Really. I entered a thing called 'pizzeria', and they charged me 55 SEK to participate in the drawings, and then I waited for a while to see how it would go. And then it happened! They called out, and I had won a pizza. Amazing! A good one, too.

Er, and about those 55 SEK, I actually got 58 SEK for the toe, so it all worked out.

No! I had a back tax of 3 SEK (that's 0.320574 EUR at the moment) ... how will I survive? There's no way I can get 3 SEK together :(

I'll have to sell my other toe, I guess. It's sad, I kind of liked my two toes.

Arr, ye lubbers. Today be Talk Like A Pirate Day. So talk like a pirate or ye'll be keelhauled more smartly than the first mate quaffs all the grog!

Yea, not much said lately. But look, bumpies. A fine old-fashioned 2d bumpthingy, implemented as a fragment shader.

- The plate, it's not turning around!
- Hey, don't blame Pingu.
- Wait, it's turning now!
- Success! All hail Pingu!

Study times again. It all started today. I'm so very, very tired now. I had to get up before 8 in the morning. And I will have to tomorrow, too :(

As the latest entry was voted the Lamest Entry Ever, I've decided to post two photos of a sunset a few days ago.

Photo 1 & Photo 2. Same sunset, different exposure and angle.

It's about time I write a decent and meaningful entry. Too bad I won't.

I've been busy lately. But today, I've written a Kekifier, or as the Kekifier maybe would put it, :) KEKIFIER!1? :)

What it does is this: it takes sentences and emulates how they would be said in for example game chats. Here's an example:

> What are you doing?
> I'm writing a kekifier.
> What's that, precious?
> This is a kekifier.
> Oh, that's nice. I guess.
> Indeed.

Which turned out as:

> T.T kk What heh r u kk D01ng? ... >_<
> I'm writing a kekfiier!!
> Rofl hW4ts' tha7, eke pre1cous?!!! >_<
> hTis 1s a kekif1er!! r0fL ^^
> KEke .TT Oh,h eh ethta's ni3! I guess!!k k
> INdeed!! t.T

If you for some reason you want this astonishing (no), little program, you can download it here. I'm afraid it's just a win32 binary, as I won't release the source yet. It may have bugs in it too, as it's an early version (and maybe the only one, too).

Cake cake cake, a caaake!
Cake cake cake, a caaake!

Oo, look at the cake there!
Oo, you want to eat it here?

Cake cake cake, a caaake!
Cake cake cake, a caaake!

Oo, don't you love the cake?
Oo, is it all for you?

Cake cake cake, a caaake!
Cake cake cake, a caaake!

Oo, are you eating cake?
Oo, isn't it all great?

Cake cake cake, a caaake!
Cake cake cake, a caaake!

Oo, are you out of cake?
Oo, some lame ending here.

(edit: well, by 'today', it was meant the 13th)

I may be quiet, but I'm not dead. Even if you wish so, which I wish you wouldn't wish, but you may wish so even so, as my wish is not the universe's command. Yet.

Right you are, here be a nice photo of a muffin. Mmm-mm.

I don't usually link stuff that ain't mine (mostly 'cos of being egocentric, but also since this is my stupid log), but Penny Arcade had this most interesting strip about cake today. You should read it.
