I found the crapcam again, which first and last saw use in June 2006. It’s still as bad as it was. macam still works on OS X, but hasn’t been updated in a while, so expect it not to work before long.

Black Walls – Acedia pre-release
Black Walls’ new album Acedia is available for pre-release purchase.
I’ve had Ken’s artwork on my wall as a huge print for the last couple of years. I’m stoked that this is now out.

ColorHug
I got my ColorHug calorimeter the other day. You can’t tell, but this laptop display is a bunch warmer than it was, and there are now colours springing out of what was formerly murk (sproing!).
It’s still very much in beta (and I mean that the way it used to mean), so it works but is a bit fiddly. It currently has to boot from a Linux live CD; there’s no native OS X or Windows support. There’s a very active user group, and issues are being found and squished daily.

still rather more proud of this code than I should be
Years ago, I wrote this tiny subroutine in PostScript:
/box { % draw a box given lower left and upper right corner coordinates  2 copy moveto  3 index exch lineto  3 -1 roll 2 index lineto  exch lineto  closepath } def
All it does is define a rectangular path given by four numbers. So to draw a box from (0,0) to (100,50), you’d say
0 0 100 50 box stroke
This code still pleases me because:
- it accepts arguments in a sensible order
- it uses no local variables, relying purely on the stack
- no spare values have to be popped from the stack at any time.
