Martin Heidegger — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:45:43 +0000

For quite some time it was a bit silent on this blog. Not because I lacked ideas to write about or the community became unimportant for me. I’ve spent a lot of extra time on the weekends and in the evenings to organize my (as for now) most intense event: The marriage with my lovely [...]

Pushing JavaScript particles

Yesterdays launch of Firefox 3.5 included some interesting new features which I really wanted to try out. Worker threads and Pixel manipulation support took my special interest.

As I was working around at my next blog entry I started to play around a bit in pixel bender, I can't use the result for the next post so here it is seperatly.

Libspark: CharacterWalker

Martin Heidegger — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:21:07 +0000

During the last weeks I studied the Spark project a lot. It fascinates me as a project. Of course there are drawbacks, but in general, all-in-all the sub-projects are charming me with a lot of creativity, well crafted code or just by being fresh. [...]
