Been working intensely on the [room model (https://github.com/io7m/roommodel0)]. [ (/2017/05/19/cells.png)] The intention here is to analyze a set of polygons and divide the space outside the polygons into horizontal spans.

Experimenting with a [room model (https://github.com/io7m/roommodel0)]for the engine. [ (/2017/05/12/polygons.png)]

Made some corrections to "zeptoblog" (https://github.com/io7m/zeptoblog) to ensure that the output is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.

I released version "1.0.0" of "jregions" (https://github.com/io7m/jregions) a while back and then found that I wanted to make some changes to the API.

Switch to the project directory, and: $ find .

"PulseAudio" (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/) has some problems.

A few weeks back, I was contacted by none other than "Brian Goetz" (https://twitter.com/briangoetz) inviting me to become part of the "Project Amber" (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/amber/) expert group.

Been working on some difficult software architecture problems lately.

Just because you can convince 9 out of 10 people that your stupid idea is a good idea doesn't make it a good idea it just makes you a skilled liar.

Managed to hit 3000 "GitHub" (https://github.com/io7m) contributions today: "GitHub" (/2017/04/09/github.png)

Had a change of heart.

Sometimes, what you really need is a mutable, boxed integer.

Going to start working on moving "jcanephora" (https://github.com/io7m/jcanephora) to "jtensors 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT" (https://github.com/io7m/jtensors) in order to flush out any problems with "jtensors" before I try to do a stable "8.0.0" release.

The "jtensors" (https://github.com/io7m/jtensors) implementation is basically done.

I've reached peak frustration with "jtensors" (https://github.com/io7m/jtensors).

I have to admit: "Reorganizing" (/2017/03/19/inconsistency.xhtml) a codebase to move to generating code that I've already written (and rewritten several times over the past five years) is on the far side of tedious.

Been working on moving the "jtensors" (https://github.com/io7m/jtensors) codebase over to "source generation" (/2017/03/01/source-generation.xhtml) as I mentioned previously.

Big thanks to "Martin Mois" (https://github.com/siom79) for implementing a recent "feature request" (https://github.com/siom79/japicmp/issues/165) to relax the rules for "semantic versioning" (/glossary.xhtml#semantic_versioning) enforcement in "japicmp"…

First public release of "jregions" (https://github.com/io7m/jregions/).

For about a week, I've been having DNS resolution issues on one server.

Had a minor outage yesterday apparently due to a bug in the older "FreeBSD" (/glossary.xhtml#freebsd) images that "DigitalOcean" (/glossary.xhtml#digitalocean) provide.

A close friend of mine suggested that this blog might be more readable with a glossary, and I agreed.

The "Maven" (/glossary.xhtml#maven) "POM" (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html) files in "io7m" (http://io7m.com) projects contain a fair amount of duplication with respect to each other.

Spent most of yesterday and a fairly decent amount of time today replacing the bulk of the hand-specialized "jregions" (https://github.com/io7m/jregions/) code with code generated from a template instead.

Was amused by the "pingdom" (http://tools.pingdom.com) test results for "io7m.com" (http://io7m.com): "io7m.com" (/2017/02/28/io7m0.jpg) "io7m.com" (https://tools.pingdom.com/#!

Have started unifying "jareas" (https://github.com/io7m/jareas) and "jboxes" (https://github.com/io7m/jboxes) into a new project: "jregions" (https://github.com/io7m/jregions).

"The Question" (/2017/02/26/thequestion.jpg)

Broke a "pure-ftpd" (https://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd) install this morning by recklessly failing to read the change log before upgrading.

Right now, all "io7m" (http://io7m.com) "modules" (/glossary.xhtml#module) are consistently named.

Deeply unimpressed by the "complete lack of response" (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-848) to a report of a fairly serious bug in the "Maven Assembly plugin" (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/).

Huge respect for the "LWJGL" (http://lwjgl.org) project with "one of the best responses to a bug report I've ever had the pleasure to be involved with" (https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/issues/277).

Been experimenting with independent "module" (/glossary.xhtml#module) versioning by developing an "OSGi IRC bot" (https://github.com/io7m/thoth/).
