T_Visionarium launch at UNSW for the 2008 Sydney Festival
January 9, 2008 – 3:45 pm
TVisionarium (AKA T_Visionarium Mk II, affectionately TVis) was officially launched yesterday in The Scientia at the University of New South Wales. Bruce Beresford was invited to open it. Jill Bennett published a book about it: “T_Visionarium: A User’s Guide” (albeit not the technical one you might expect). I received a nice credit at the back [...]

List of tallest structures in the world
July 27, 2007 – 5:46 pm
Another fascinating article on Wikipedia:
“This is a list of tallest structures in the world, past and present of any type. Most of the tallest structures are television broadcasting masts, followed by a mix of the taller tower-type structures (like the CN Tower) and the taller high rise buildings (like the Sears Tower). Scattered among these [...]
A Fun-Motion forum thread dedicated to my work!
July 27, 2007 – 5:44 pm
What a surprise when I found this thread on the Fun-Motion forums (it helps to look at one’s web logs once in a blue moon)! I don’t even know who these people are! Somehow they’ve become aware of my work however. Thank you to ShortStuf7 for creating the thread!
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
July 27, 2007 – 5:41 pm
I never knew how ISDN actually worked, apart from the fact it sent digital signals over the the POTS’ copper wires. Wikipedia has a good article about it.
At the moment I am taking two distance education courses (Convex Optimisation and Statistical Machine Learning) which include video delivery through a Polycom video conferencing system. I assumed [...]
Pd (Pure Data) and friends
July 27, 2007 – 5:31 pm
I recently downloaded and started playing with Pd (written by Miller S. Puckette, the same chap who started Max/MSP).
For reference, these are some good sites to learn about Pd and download loads of goodies to extend its functionality:
The community-run Pd portal
py/pyext: Python script objects (for MSP too)
GridFlow A Multidimensional dataflow processing library for [...]
The Quantum Theory of Immortality
July 27, 2007 – 5:21 pm
James Higgo’s summary paper “Does the ‘many-worlds’ interpretation of quantum mechanics imply immortality?” gives some very practical examples of the implication of this very mind-bending way of viewing our universe. Would you like to put your head in front of a machine gun barrel?
Be Your Own Weather Person
July 27, 2007 – 5:16 pm
The Bureau of Meterology uploads the latest measurements from its radar stations from across our big brown land onto their website every 10 minutes, often with multiple resolutions. I find it most useful for two reasons:
If it is overcast outside, this will definitively confirm the possibility of rain.
If it is not overcast outside, you can [...]
The Internet Communications Engine
July 27, 2007 – 5:10 pm
Ice, as it’s known, appears to be a relatively new competitor in the middleware communications layer. They compare its performance to TAO and come out better in many respects. It’s always easy to come out better than DCOM since that only runs on Windows! Although they boast a nice package list, it nevertheless appears very [...]
