That's it I give up
I might try and find the spelling/grammar errors if I am alive.
But I am not going to write any more even though the second "half" is woefully horrible.
I don't care about page limits if they don't like it they can just... not read the extra pages.
No really, the quality definitely goes down towards the end.

Tidy up a bit
Still need that entire second half of the lit review.
It'll just have to be smaller I think.

Literally not finished
Ok, deep breaths
I am about 2/3 done here.
Hopefully the last part will be easier since I already have some notes on it in ipdf/documents
Also I won't be hand editing SVGs anymore, why did I do that...
Then I guess I should edit it or something.
:S

All the figures and none of the Lit Review
They are so pretty

PostScript or should I say NotJavaScript
By the way Cairo outputs stupidly verbose PostScript
Making every single operator a single character does not help when you redefine paths every single time you use them.
Manually editing that one image into different formats is taking longer than working out what to say about them :S

Horrible notes on PDF

Six Degrees of Document Format
This just in, PDF has Javascript in it but it isn't quite the same as the DOM
Why
Oh also, does Javascript have its own standard or is it just included in HTML's standard

Koch Snowflake Generator - Example of DOM based interactive document
The literature review seems to have devolved into trying to make the coolest figures...
It's a shame you can't embed HTML in PDF oh god what am I saying

Add Some Figures
- Plots of 8 bit minifloats (positive only)
- Messing around with SVG a bit

There is still so much missing it's frankly starting to get a bit terrifying.

There are words on the page I will settle for that.

Fix page input
Disabled means disabled not just unable to edit
Made a hidden input and kept the disabled one with a different name
Fixed another newline in email.

Created Rate My Lit Review
A system to Rate My Lit Review
Look, you may be thinking "Why didn't he just work on his Lit Review?"

That is pretty much exactly what I am thinking right now.

Literally more Literature
Extended that damn fox example even more
Put in markers for the sections as described in the previous commit.
They don't match the current sections. This is sort of a clusterfuck.
Keep wanting to go into more detail on things that probably don't matter.

Small changes, big git commit message
In the imaginary world in which I have completed the Literature Review by now, it goes like this:
0. Here is a brilliant summary of sections 1+ below
1. Here are the fundamentals of graphics (raster and vector, rendering)
2. Here are the ways documents are structured (programming language or varient, DOM, DOM dynamically modified by programming language)
3. Here are ways document standards specify precision
4. Here is IEEE-754 which is what these standards use
5. Here are limitations of IEEE-754 floating point numbers on compatible hardware
6. Here are ways GPU based techniques that are gaining popularity might not be IEEE-754
7. Sod all that, let's just use an arbitrary precision library
8. Here is a brilliant summary of sections 7- above
All this will fit within the page limit whilst still being relevant and containing references
I'm sure must exist but I haven't bothered/had time to locate yet.
That git commit message is probably more useful than anything I've actually written in the report today :S

On the third day (if it was indeed still the third day), the author could not think of an exciting encounter for the skeleton, so it rested

Flesh out Literature Review
Wasted a lot of time with that vector/raster image example (didn't I say I was going to take it out?? Why do I do these things??)
Anyway, I won't let actual sane descriptions of what I've done get in the way of my ongoing over extended metaphor commit messages.

After a terrible battle that lasted more than a day and a night, the skeleton overcame Captain Obvious and ate his flesh.
The skeleton incorporated the flesh into its essence and continued on its way, but after a time the flesh began to rot.
"This is mildly annoying" thought the skeleton (using the brain of Captain Obvious), "but I guess it is better than nothing"
However soon parts of the skeleton were dropping off. "If I don't find some sentence structure soon this will end very badly",
thought the skeleton (using the half of its brain that was still working). "Some citations would be nice too" it added.

Add example of Vector vs Raster Graphics
On the first day, the skeleton encountered a fox
"That fox will make a good example of Vector vs Raster Graphics" thought the skeleton
Suddenly, Captain Obvious appeared to challenge the skeleton to a battle!
"THAT FOX IS SUPERFLOUS" shouted Captain Obvious.
"But pretty pictures!" cried the Skeleton.
Captain Obvious hesitated, clearly torn. After a long pause, he sighed.
"I guess you've got me there" he said.
(NB: I will probably remove this example when I have something of value to put in its place)

And thus the skeleton rose from the grave
Because the Valkyries kicked it out of Valhalla
It shall now roam the Earth searching for its Content

Add a skeleton
Skeleton is the right word.
A festering, zombified corpse of a thesis, with it's eyes picked out by crows.
But soon the Valkyries will arrive and escort it to the halls of Valhalla where it will be immortalised forever.
Although it will probably not enjoy it, because being a thesis it will be embarressingly nerdy and always
get beaten up by the Tom Clancy novels, and be picked last for the teams in the daily epic battles.
But despite that it will grow strong with age and the citation count will grow and one day if it is very, very lucky, someone may actually read it
Whoops, there goes my suspension of disbelief.
