During the nights when comforting my baby-daughter, I still do some simple coding work. That can result in fun stuff like the graph I created based on the Durian campaign progress I have been doing since July 31st. I have been recording the status every five minutes, and tonight I have been writing some script to generate a graph out of it. This graph is also updated in sync with the recording of Durian campaign progress.

Today is a very happy day. Today, my little son Rasmus (jesterPrince) became a big brother for his little sister Rafaëlla (jesterPrincess).
Rafaëlla decided to enter our world at 14:42 Finnish time, today August 13th, 2009.

You can follow the session live through assemblytv.net.
If you haven’t heard about renderfarm.fi yet, it is a BOINC-based distributed rendering … Continue Reading
I wanted to remind people that Eskil Steenberg is presenting his LOVE today at 1600hrs EEST ( see this clock for current time). Since we have Verse support in Blender (or at least, had in Blender 2.4x, but it’ll be back in Blender 2.5x at some point), I thought people might be interested to check it out.
You can follow the presentation live through assemblytv.net. I’m pretty sure you’re in for a good show.
Also, don’t forget that tomorrow I’ll be talking at the seminars too, but I’ll blog about that more a little bit later. For now, see … Continue Reading
