Little bit blind (temporarily, hopefully) after projecting video onto his eyes on purpose. Ah R&D, it’s sometimes a dangerous business… #
Possible to use modified pyramid image segmentation with canny edge detection to fill in the holes? Would depend on input quality, I guess.. #
Listening to Tower of Power and downloading my brain into FreeMind. #
Ouch, just got hit in the head by a falling Dell Axim 51v with large capacity battery. Better my head than the floor, I guess… #
Experimenting with MS Speech API by playing the audio from Dr Strangelove into the recogniser. Mildly amusing but ultimately useless results #
Just hit a large roll of graph paper with my fist. In your FACE graph paper! #
Deep into planning our first guerrilla video projection session in London on Monday night… Mwahaha… #
@vj_anomolee All will be revealed in good time, my friend… in reply to vj_anomolee #
Mmm, 2pm – must be time for breakfast, yay! #
@nicklevine Good find! See you there! in reply to nicklevine #
The team is prepped for Monday night. Four men, in a van, with advanced technology, and mischief in mind. #
@nicklevine Will do, chap! in reply to nicklevine #
@StephenBrighton Like the look of the Iydea photo exhibition – is there a private view/event? #
@StephenBrighton Very kind of you, thanks! in reply to StephenBrighton #
Heading to Brighton to check out new exhibition at Prescription Art, followed by racking up the uncomfortably weird dial to 11. #
Listening to the recording of the last Belle Atmos gig – shame we didn’t get footage of the visuals, says visuals man: http://bit.ly/18bXlq #
@nicklevine Haven’t been up so much of recent since last job was in Hove but we’ve meetings in town a plenty coming up. in reply to nicklevine #
Going to have to refactor a large chunk of PaintBox – needs a floating point drawing buffer to get the nuance I need! #
Oh, that was easier than I expected then! Just got to add a cursor on the streamed output and it’ll be ready to go… #
Dammit, seemed to have messed up my nice Bresenham implementation. Just can’t leave things alone, me… #
@StephenBrighton Lovely, thanks again. in reply to StephenBrighton #
With a couple of hints from Ramesh Raskar I’ve finally got augmented geometry alignment working in PatchBox. Super yay! #
Projective alignment and projection working, off shortly to Lighthouse to see work and talk by Tina Gonsalves in #Brighton #

Went to see Moon at @DukeofYorks yesterday. Bit of a chin stroker, but worth a watch. #
Belle Atmos gig went well on Saturday. Like having whole stage lighting kit in one, albeit heavy, suitcase. #
Meetings done, dog walking, food, then at loose end in #brighton – anything of note happening this evening? #
@awhillas Happy Birthday, dear chap! in reply to awhillas #
Liking the new wikipedia layer in google maps mobile #
The Met Office people on News24 don’t seem to be able to subtract 55% from 100% (65% and 35% are not correct) No wonder predictions suck.. #
Late night call from Nik Turner of Hawkwind – sounds like visual mischief afoot! #
Using the rather pleasant FreeMind to sort out all the audio/visual installation ideas pinging around in my brain – http://bit.ly/QNJJI #
Grey humidity hangs heavy over rainbow pubs overflowing with the bleary-eyed 11am crowd choking through the first pint of the day. #pride #
Eating ice-cream for the brain freeze and watching the rain fall hard. 80% chance of severe weather to hit Brighton after 5pm… #
“All the fun from this year’s Brighton Pride”… umm… http://bit.ly/b43rd #
Beer Monster #1 – http://twitpic.com/cfnt9 #
