Inflatable dart board

by

Have been tinkering with self-healing plastics and vinyls lately.

I can puncture this stuff with a dart, and it immediately repairs itself when you take the dart out. I think it is physically possible to create an inflatable dartboard.

The only downside is that the inflated portion will deflate ever so slightly every time a dart pierces it.

I don’t know why we would want this, but it seems like a good idea.

This is the 13th, 14th and 15th month of a 24 month correspondence course in electronics.

“Advanced” circuit design.

Pretty basic stuff so far.

This is the 10th, 11th and 12 months of the 24 month correspondence course.

Glad I accelerated through the course.

Can you imagine taking one year of theory before you get to actually pick up a bread board and start building stuff?

Talk about fucking boring.

This class needs a serious redesign.

Read – Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice

by

Today I finished reading “Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice” by Foley, van Dam, et al.

Systematically and slowly implemented each of the algorithms listed in here in C and C++.

I wish there was a C or C++ edition of this book because converting the algorithms to C/C++ was painful at times.

Cannot wait for the graphics card in my PC to get fast enough to run some of these in real-time.
