This story has never ended.

Morning: Computer graphics. More about texturing and texture interpolation and mapping.

Afternoon: Algorithms II. A little bit about spae efficient cuckoo hashing again and then external algorithms, which I found very interesting because it turns out you can use the same algorithms you usually use for doing things with data sets that do not fit in RAM so you have to have parts on the hard disk, to write algorithms that use the cache a lot better, and actually get measurable improvements even though you are using a pretty complex data structure!

Technically there was class but I did not go. Mostly spent day trying to figure out things related to signal processing Augh.

No, I’m pretty sure thats not love. Love isn’t easy, but if you’re fucking miserable, it isn’t love.

You know who perpetuates shit like this? Spousal abusers and their victims.

Oh sure, I’m miserable. But, I love him!

Should be

I love him, but I’m miserable. GTFO.

If it hurts, its not love. (Unless you like them whips and chains).

The whips and chains thing is sort of completely orthogonal to that… owo

I clung to James and he clung to me and we were clinging to each other and I couldn’t let go because I couldn’t express how much I loved him.
It was weird and cool.
And then in the morning I laid upon his chest whilst we recited the Antoine ‘HE’S CLIMIN’ IN YO WINDOWS’ meme.
And I realise now I am an extremely lucky person.
And I realise now that this isn’t going away any time soon, with any luck.
And I realise now that this just might be the person I am with for the rest of my life. 

That is ridiculously cute. You don’t even know how cute that is.

You’re gonna have to elaborate.

(I read the date wrong yesterday)

Morning: I went to class for Programming Paradigms, but there was no class, so I went back home.

Afternoon: Japanese. Learned about the te-form.

Afterwards I went to the christmas market, and then I drove to visit my parents, where I am now.

Morning: Signals and Systems exercise, practised Laplace transforms and inverse transforms and things related to them like residual values and partial fraction decomposition.

Afternoon: Algorithms II exercise (because the professor was sick so there was no lecture), cuckoo hashing and minimum cost flow problems.

Also, while I was away, I had my computer render this, which I think is really pretty:

The music is by a friend called yogi~

Morning: Technically, I had class, but I overslept.

Afternoon: Likewise. I overslept really badly.

At least I got my renderer to the point where I can render cuts through 4D Julia sets, which looks really neat:

Cut 1 Cut 2

(They reflect!)

Morning: Computer graphics, learned about texture filtering, which I found very interesting. (Except the part where we repeated the sampling theorem for the whateverth time)

Afternoon: Algorithms II. Some more flow problems (Minimum cost flow, matchings of different sorts) and an algorithm for approximate matchings which our professor used to explain some basic princinples of designing and analysing algorithms like that.

In between, working on the ray tracer. It looks pretty now. (Look at big version for full effect)

Didn’t go to class (there wasn’t much class to speak of, anyways), homework instead. Raytracer is nearing a halfway useful state.

technicolordiscode:

Stupid school computer won’t let me utilize an ISO file to copy and extract the game from it’s archive.

Is there any torrent of Umineko Chiru Requiem that isn’t in ISO format?

With new news of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Twilight of the Golden Witch coming out… I haven’t even played through the partial translation patch of Requiem of the Golden Witch. I feel so left behind. @__@

Shaddap you, I haven’t played a single Umineko game… but I want to, badly… but I have P4 and SMT DS to finish… and not much time for vidya… owo

Morning: No class, did some Japanese vocab repetition.

Afternoon: First, programming paradigms. Typed lambda calculus. Oh god.

After that, Japanese. Did a repetition covering the last two semesters of grammar. I forgot a lot of question words so I will try to repeat those a lot in the near future.

Morning: No class, worked on Algorithms II worksheets.

Afternoon: More about maximum flow algorithms, highest level preflow-push and some examples.

After that, Computer Graphics. Learnt about homogenous coordinates and transformations, which are things I already know so I didn’t pay much attention.

Went to eat dinner at cafeteria afterwards, then went home.
