Still working on winter exhibition plan – hard going trying to balance technology, cost, and artistic cohesiveness! #
Seem to keep coming up with ideas involving Slinky springs… dear god, man, why? #
Saw a gull killing a pigeon in the road. Since the introduction of gull-proof bins here, they’re getting deadlier! Where’s Tippi? #brighton #
Where will you be at 07/08/09 – 10:11:12? http://bit.ly/2w6uS4 #
@grahamblanca +1 hour, minute, and second, of course. Falls over after 11/12/13 14:15:16… Ok, will stop now in reply to grahamblanca #
@grahamblanca Not taking into account leap years, either! in reply to grahamblanca #
@grahamblanca Um, off the top of my head, 01/01/10 – 01:10:10? in reply to grahamblanca #
@grahamblanca Of course, if you add milliseconds into the picture, you can have 01/01/2010 01:02:10.10… Though I prefer the binary one! #
Horrid dreams of orange Smart Cars and yelling leave me feeling lethargic and weird, also today’s jobs: clearing up dog mud and dead mice. #
The default icon for VLC is a traffic cone – makes browsing my media collection feel like travelling the M25 in roadworks season… #
Time to re-install the car speaker I have cleverly (tbc) fixed with the liberal application of copydex! #
@BrightonArgusJo Sounds like a good idea. Afraid I didn’t get any juicy pictures – was driving at the time! in reply to BrightonArgusJo #
Finally got perspective correct texturing working in PatchBox’s quad’s, fixed a few other minor bugs, added bezier curves to PaintBox. Yay. #
Woke with a head full of ideas. Time to get this proposal finished. #
Proposal for winter show finally done. Off to Brighton shortly to make guacamole for tonight’s MEXICAN FEAST! Tortillas! Tequila! ARRIBA! #
Today I will mostly be playing fallout3… #

Just finished the VBites media launch party. Much champagne and photos. Will post tomorrow. #
@BrightonNat Good to meet you last night at the vbites, sorry we didn’t get to chat about projections, another time? in reply to BrightonNat #
@vjmorph Not so much these days, it’s all about the CGFX shaders round these parts in reply to vjmorph #
Pics of our interactive AV installation from the VBites media launch last night #brighton – http://bit.ly/ZPc4V #
@vjmorph What’re you looking for? in reply to vjmorph #
Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #artist #vj #programmer #
@matthanson Another multiple projector installation at Heather Mills’ VBites cafe in Hove, it’s interactive too! http://bit.ly/ZPc4V in reply to matthanson #
Listening to Steve Reich’s ‘Electric Guitar Phase’ at a volume loud enough to drown out the raucous children’s procession roaming #lewes #
@awhillas Not one of his best but I love all the Reich… in reply to awhillas #
Enough with all this crazy video projection shiznaz for today – off to walk the dog and drink wine and maybe go see The Welfare Mothers #

Had a marvelous, albeit rather hot, time last night watching short films in London. Alison, Brett, Dan, Ivano, Walter, you talented lot! #
After Spanish pastries and coffee with Martin and Niamh, walked from Ladbroke Grove to Victoria Station. Got caught up in Hare Krishna march #
Dropped PortMidi support in PatchBox – polling for events is not acceptable – switched to WinMM direct… #
Spraying myself in the face with a plant sprayer in a desperate attempt to keep cool… #
Stuck FreeFrame 1.5 (OpenGL shader based) support into PatchBox, for a giggle. Doesn’t seem to be many available, however… #
Off to the caf? to install the last bits of equipment. May go for a paddle later – too hot for rigging #
11pm finish! Insane day of climbing ladders, editing XML in a 54 degree C attic, fending off mayfly’s, etc. Super tired! #
Sun, set already! Too hot, bothered and projection experiments to run… #
Six more vegetable models from Dan (thanks Dan!) and the cafe installation is replete. Final day of on-site testing tomorrow, yay! #
