Rheum Thursday List
Four days ago ·
· LinkWoke up Monday morning to the now usual words of 'Can I play on your {i}phone daddy'.
My kids love the iphone, they just clicked with it and now navigate to the games and start playing.
Monday was no exception except my youngest then said something I had never heard, maybe It's just me, but I doubled over laughing.
"Daddy I have a Monkey Nut in my eye".
- "A what in your Eye?"
"A Monkey Nut, in the night Monkey's sit over your bed and eat nuts and a piece of nut fell in my eye, it's ok though i'm getting it out".
Of course he meant he had Rheum (or gowned) in his eye, when I was a child (many many years ago) it was the Sandman who brought it. Kids today.

The Scroller Screensaver Snow Leopard
Six days ago · · LinkThis screensaver came about as I needed to work with textures in opengl and more importantly a way of creating text.
Rather than use pre-created graphics for the text I wanted to create the 'font' from drawing each character then making it a texture for use in OpenGL. This keeps the screensaver size down to a minimum.
It then reads in the text from an array, breaks down the individual letters figures out the spacing (the part i was interested in) then draws it on a scrolling pattern.
As the text gets further away the colour is faded to give the illusion of it disappearing. It is then no longer drawn.
The screensaver is by no means finished, and I may never get around to finishing it (I figured out what was required, I sort of lost interest then!).
One warning for this is the screensaver is particularly processor intensive (at least it is on m MacBook Pro) and has in fact resulted in it overheating and my battery warping (to the point I have had to remove it).
Someone mind find it nice, so i've put it available.
If I get around to it I'll make it look a bit more faithful to the proper scrolling text.
