Jan. 17th, 2002 12:56 pmYay! I am done the major demo now. It got quite crowded in the FakeSpace, but the ASI funding people were very impressed with our work :-)!
The main new demo involves a Tactex MTC control pad (http://www.tactex.com/prodMTC.htm), as well as a Linux box to interface with the pad. The software to control the demo also runs on the Linux box, and then everything is displayed on the Onyx. The actual demo has a whole lot particles rotating in a cyldrincal area, and you can impede their flow in certain regions using the Tactex pad.
Steve DiPaulo also did his facial/vocal mapping systems demo, and discussed the role he played in creating 'The Sims'. He designed the FaceLift program, it is all based on his research 8-).
I just had lunch. A Subway bufflo chicken footlong sub. It was supposed to be spicy, with hot sauce and jalepeno, but it was very mild! Almost disappointingly mild.
Now I get to wait a while for my next class. I have my art class, that I did the digital imagery for at 2.30pm only. I have got in about 27 hours of work this week. At CDN$13.50/hour, it is a fair bit I will make this week, but I have to wait a while for the paycheck, since this is only week 1 of the pay cycle. The only question then becomes what I should do with the money :-). I will take a survey to see what people think.

Jan. 17th, 2002 10:23 pmI went out for dinner at Boston Pizza with my parents and brother, and along the way, stopped at Office Depot to buy a graphing calculator. I've finally gone with the really deluxe model, so that I don't need to keep upgrading lots. I now have a TI-89, and I'll have to learn to drive it all over again, as it seems to be very different from the TI-83 that I was using before.
Can anybody recommend some good programs for the TI-89? Or suggestions on porting programs written in TI-83 basic (the builtin stuff) to a TI-89.
Argh, I still have more postings to do for my BGE conference. Dang. I'll get on with that now. And I will have to see about writing the 5 page paper on Saturday.
