Huh, apparently there's a Humble Bundle +$8 store credit going on right now. Providing my ref link in case people wanna check it out.

Most of my day is busy on Sun-Tues due to my work schedule. Weds has biweekly fluctuations of availability. Just something to keep in mind when getting in contact.

It's not the most exciting thing, but, here's a more thorough test of the slanted line reflection code I've been working on for #MyPaint. A mix of work and IRL swamped me from attending to such. Looks like it's error free now, so you guys can have a gif.

Top half of gif is vim editing the code that draws the reflections.

Bottom half of gif is the actual reflection demo.

So I bought a few books from StoryBundle.com and am quite pleased with what I'm reading so far. I still haven't finished all of it, but they definitely vetted the contents for quality. Go check it out if you want a good pile of DRM-free ebooks to read.

Decided to move blog over to write.as . It's not as snazzy, but, it's more streamlined and accessible from my phone. It's clickable as a field on my profile instead of a pinned toot now.

Man, it took me forever to remember why #Kirby captivated me so as a kid. Its lore was pretty dark, yet it always had color and very strong tinges of hope that doing the right thing can make a difference.

Reaching out to the #writing #fiction crowd again. I'm trying to increase my exposure to other types of fiction, but I also want to keep it expanded with both offline and online content. However, the general writing scene is so huge! Where do I start with finding a good site to randomly read a story?

Suggestions for animated shorts also much welcome.

Imagine this song, but with a soda machine at work.

On the topic of #writing : Wow, it's kind of hard to intentionally write irony. All the other figurative language exercises flowed easier for me.

Update on #mypaint slanted reflection code: Figured out how to adjust the dab angle across the axis. I just forgot to adjust for the perpendicular case.

I've pushed the code to my graphics playpen repo.

Just need to port it into libmypaint now that all the math's figured out.

Progress on #mypaint 's slanted reflection: So far I"m getting placing the dab at the right point, but not the angle of the dab. Will toot on this again when I've made headway on getting the reflected dab angle correct.

Second thing on my todo list for coding is porting #mikidown to QWebEngine. I don't think I drafted a complete demo for click overriding in it. That was the main blocker of the port due to interwiki links.

Finally got the hang of my job's flow. So I returned to some of the old code I had laying around. First up is #mypaint 's symmetry guides. For rotational snowflake guides and slanted mirrored guides, first step was making a function that calculated the angle of each line and extended.

Next component will have to be calculating the mirroring when it's sloped. Haven't quite worked out the math for that yet, but it's progress! Yay.

Especially lazy today lounging in bed. Anyway, who wants Mastodon sized story snippets posted every week? Maybe Thursdays? Working on getting my prompt picker script to also pick stories in works or story ideas I have laying around. #writing

@Gargron@mastodon.social - Curious - when does the unable to look up remote account error usually appear? Asking since I noticed a follower from another instance disappeared from my notification queue and trying to interact with a toot there results in that.
