Translation Poetry

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Today, the number is missing from the first day.
And-oh.
Early afternoon, the evening came from bytes.
In the evening, leaving its victim, said
Normally, why? And listen. Of course I heard.

Office furniture

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

I have been working on my office furniture. I have a big (6′ x 7′3” x 10”) bookcase and the start of a desk and a credenza. I need to get legs for the desk and credenza.

SVG library for Actionscript 3.0

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Big news. The runtime SVG parser and renderer for Actionscript 3.0 is working, sort of. The newest version of the library is available here. For the path mircosyntax, I used the lexer and parser from the Batik project, which is released under the Apache Version 2.0 license. The path is drawn correctly but the colors are not being rendered properly. Right now there is just code; I’ll be posting a swf and some test svg’s later.

Today’s bike ride

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

I used my cyclocross bike with a low gear of 34 in the back and 38 in the front, and ended up walking up most of Connecticut hill road. It was fun though. I also made an excursion into the swamp along Cayuta Lake.

SVG runtime renderer for Actionscript 3.0

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I have started work on a SVG interface for Actionscript 3.0. I will be able to render SVGs at runtime and do some editing of SVG’s at runtime. The project is hosted on google code and is licensed under LGPL.

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I’m trying out Bee, which is a blog posting application by Adobe. I tried ScribeFire, but it added a “powered by ScribeFire” advertisement at the bottom of my posts.
