I think it’s probably better for me to move to a new web host, so I’m taking suggestions for good ones. It should be close to the $6 price range.

So I built this interesting brainf*ck interpreter which offloads most (not all) of the arithmetic operations (it concatenates tons of +1s into some more interesting operations). It could easily be made to offload all operations, but then it becomes a bit too prolonged and boring, so for +1s, and +0s, the computer handles the task.

It’s fitted with a Hello World app, which takes quite a bit to start, but then it quickly types out the message.

I’m porting the multitouch concept to python. Why? Because i’m on linux now, mono sucks, and PIL is pretty awesome.

I’ve set up a mock-rig where there are 2 mirrors on the side angled by erasers with a crappy Creative NX webcam mounted on a textbook over it. It seems like the only practical use of this is for a multitouch-table sort because gravity makes it otherwise pretty hard to calibrate.

So after I rewrite the software I need to try getting it to parse an actual image. Then I need to somehow hook it up to streaming webcam data, and somehow do something else.

okay, so recently something really awesome happened. Google App Engine will now support Java. The great thing about this, it that decent flash export may happen because of that (yay!) and possibly actionscript later on.
