Spotted just north of Eglinton on the DVP. Some daffodils, too!

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.
