notes from the bigfug

• PatchBox seems to run fine on Windows 7, and so do I #
• Created a rather tasty interactive video piece, now to switch to evening mode for drinks ala Hume #
• Am pretty convinced @twhume and myself should not ever collectively be allowed influence on government technology policy (or should we?) #
• Getting to grips with the new OpenCV C++ interfaces – pretty cool so far! #
• Not that I have need for any such thing, but if you needed a PeerGuardian replacement for Windows 7, then… http://www.peerblock.com/ #
• @nlomioni Yep, use VM/OSX for cross platform dev in reply to nlomioni #
• Gah, up 'til 3am working on some masked homography goodness. Should make setting up our interactive video installations easy! (Should…) #
• First test of the homography mapping is a success! Now to put in memory streaming to Pinhole, our new interactive video app! #
• Eek, just spent two hours playing with one of our new interactive video installations! #
• Connected components duly connecting components. Now for some anthropomorphic Voronoi fun! #

• Off to Brighton for meetings with @GV_Art and @heatherofficial #
• Phew, past that 666 tweets mark… #
• Enjoying that "my fingers are on fire" moment after messily filling Mr. Zippo. #
• My head still hurts after smashing it against a rafter in Heather Mills' restaurant attic. I'm too tall for proper attic work. #
• Day of bug fixing and code refining. Off to VBites shortly to install more video kit. #
• After some nice food I now fancy a bit of shader coding (as you do…) Is there a repository of useful shader code anywhere in the world? #
• What started as an unpromising Jethro Tull tribute night turned into a great mess of art party nonsense til 6.45am (sat in a bee room) nice #

• New release of AudioBoxBaby – http://bit.ly/DZpBP #
• Having a play with Code::Blocks to see if I can't cross-compile some goodness… #
• Just found out the link to my FreeFrame plugins has been dead for a while! Making a new installer with source code included! #
• New up to date release of my FreeFrame plug-in's (including source code) – http://bit.ly/8ZPjH #
• Had a little play of porting one of my FreeFrame's over to Linux. Then realised I have more pressing matters! #
• Upcoming BBC drama about Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry – Micro Men: http://bit.ly/DNrDk – I met Clive Sinclair once. We didn't get on… #
• Getting my head around CMake – looks rather good for cross-platform development, although a new syntax to eat – http://bit.ly/cgaSJ #
• Compiling gephex under a VMware Ubuntu to test my first ported FreeFrame! #
• Gah, couldn't get gephex to compile completely. Is anyone using FreeFrame on Linux anyway? I have a .so for you to test if so #
• boost::asio is a bit fugly and not in the good way. Off to bed now, meeting in London midday… #
• I was dreaming about video projector geometry correction. Awoke with deeper understanding of 2.5D/3D techniques. Everything is now possible. #
• Just marvellous: "Monster" by okyo on Vimeo http://bit.ly/baPOY – via meierhans #
• Been out for a site visit (doing a video statue installation for a wedding on Saturday!), finished off a costing, almost bedtime, yay! #
• Today is a good day for multi-projector displacement maps… #
• Started implementing EXR image support in PatchBox (for its FLOAT ability). Now off to Brighton to watch Nick Cave reading at The Old Market #
• Nothing quite like an overly drunk evening to bring home the stark realism of being, once again, alone. Yay, go booze! #
• Ahem, lapsed into a melancholic mood there. Actually had a damn fine night all things considered. And this morning OpenCV 2.0 is out, yay! #
• Um Bongo is really just as tasty as I remembered it! #
• Turning my camera into a projector and my projector into a camera #
• Smoothing noise, filling in holes #
• Just about happy with the new video displacement scanner in PatchBox. Now working on piecing together the parts for tomorrow's installation. #
• Looks like I've finally fixed the jittery video while using fugStream memory streaming! WinAmp AVS streaming into PatchBox nicely! #
• Successful soak test of latest PatchBox last night. Though now I'm thinking of changing tonight's hardware configuration, heh #
• Just tested the rig: TH2GO to one monitor, two projectors with texture wrapping, WinAmp AVS, multi-channel VJ shader, on one laptop. All ok! #
• Also, MIDI controller, Firewire camera, stands, tripods, wires! Quick dash to the hardware shop for more projector base screws! #

Seems the link to my FreeFrame plug-in’s on wiki.bigfug.com wasn’t working so I’ve updated it.

You can also download it at http://bit.ly/8ZPjH

• Had a bit of session with the core API of AudioBox last night, playing it lots of random music. It detects the tempo most times, yay! #
• Mmm, Hilbert Transforms… #
• Almost got the next release of AudioBoxBaby out of the door and then decided to rewrite a key part. I score no points. #
• AudioBoxBaby – Pre-release Teaser – http://bit.ly/Fq6MV #
• New release of AudioBoxBaby all packaged up and ready to go but think I'll go to Brighton and drink beer with Louis instead #

Still a couple of tweaks to do but a new version of AudioBoxBaby (the baby of the AudioBox family, which will follow given time and interest) should hopefully be out tomorrow!
