Haven’t had much of a chance to do work on PatchBox over the past few days apart from Sunday where I implemented native support for the fugStreaming library. I wasn’t getting quite the performance I was after streaming WinAmp across a memory connection so I added an Adaptive Buffer system that allows [...]
Rather tired this evening. Was up in London yesterday meeting with Martin, and Miriam from K&C council to discuss another projection project for this years InTRANSIT festival (of which the Holland Park haunted walk was a feature of last years). It’s a honour and pleasure to be asked to take part again, and [...]
After a couple of post work pints spent sitting in the Lord Nelson and reading a book about stage lighting, I thought it would be fun to rewrite my FreeFrame plugin framework!
It’s not done, but I’ve made a start. Am developing in Eclipse and compiling with MinGW GCC. Hopefully this will make everything [...]
So last night I slung the bags of gear over my shoulders and headed down to the Komedia to do visuals for Final Cut.
There’s nothing quite like jumping in to a new event, in a new

This evening I sat down to write the GLSL shader for PatchBox that I’ll be using for the gig on Sunday.
It’s quite closely modelled on Resolume: three layers of video with various mixing effects, but given the speed and flexibility of using shaders I added a few goodies:
Three texture layers, but each layer has [...]
PatchBox experiments!
The list of features that I’d like to add to PatchBox is pretty long, and varied in their technologies and disciplines. I’ve been keeping a simple, priority sorted list updated that helps me stay focussed on getting the features in place, rather than programming for programmings sake.
Last Sunday, as I was pruning the list with [...]
The Guardian article wasn’t the last nail in the coffin, just a very well researched reminder.
I deleted as much from my profile as I could be bothered to and deactivated my account.
There is no delete option, sadly.
It was my intention to delete all my friends too, but I have a feeling that would just confuse [...]
