geometric algebra/calculus

so...i was trying to find out how to do a real-time global illumination such as lightsprint sdk and enlighten of geomerics and found this weird term mentioned in technology page of geomerics, geometric algebra. what the *bleep* is this *bleep* term meant, i said to myself, is this a new way to do things in computer graphics?

luckily, geomerics provides a separate page for geometric algebra for a newbie like me. they even provide us with a list of resources for further understanding. either they are just a bunch of nice people or they are giving us a hint that we need to know this *bleep* to utilize their product.

to my surprise, geometric algebra has been utilized in computer graphics since (or maybe before) year 2000, siggraph offered a course about it at their conference in 2000. i guess it's time for me to catch up.

that's all for now folks. have a lovely day.

ruby

i'm learning ruby programming language now =)
using netbeans ide for ruby and found a unique tutorial on ruby, here.

let's see, i have postponed to learn python, lua, and google's android.
wow, didn't know that i'm so greedy.


python is cool. using eclipse and pydev plugin. did you know author of python, guido van rossum a.k.a benevolent dictator for life, is working for google?

recently want to learn lua because of crysis. but since i couldn't find a suitable lua ide for me and mod sdk for crysis is not ready yet, lost interest in it. anyway, we'll see.

android is nice. if you have experience working on j2me project, android should be easy to be mastered. anyway, that's what i think because i haven't played a lot with it.


and lastly, what's up? long time no see =)

will getting married soon this year. busy with work and wedding preparation. wish us luck ;)
