 21:26 <@matches> Well, it talks about things, so I'll reference it...
 21:26 <@matches> "The good-looking textured light-sourced bouncy fun smart and stretchy page"
 21:26 <@matches> It's generally best to not go up a directory from the page you are looking at
+--- Day changed Sun May 18 2014
+15:47 <@matches> So things are due soonish
+15:47 <@matches> :S
+20:09 <@matches> Are you alive, because I don't think I'm alive
+20:10 -!- Irssi: #ipdf: Total of 2 nicks [1 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 1 normal]
+20:11 <@matches> I'm feeling pretty guilty about all that work I didn't do last week...
+20:47  * sulix agrees entirely.
+22:11 <@matches> I give up
+22:11 <@matches> I will just have to face disappointment O'clock tomorrow
+22:22 < sulix> I still have to put more work in before I feel I even deserve disappointment, I think... :/
+22:23 < sulix> I made the mistake of deleting the irrelevant bits from my lit review, and now there's almost nothing left!
+--- Day changed Mon May 19 2014
+08:03 < sulix> At the risk of causing terror: is your final Lit review due on Friday too?
+08:05  * sulix has discovered that his is, and is currently trying to work out how to type in the foetal position.
+09:59 <@matches> Yeah it's due on Friday
+09:59 <@matches> Today is not off to a good start
+10:00 <@matches> I missed an 8am lab but I can't blame the 2 buses I missed because I actually forgot about it
+10:00 <@matches> Then I missed the 2 buses
+10:00 < sulix> Ouch.
+10:00 <@matches> I think missing my tutorial this afternoon is a bad idea but on the other hand... lit review
+10:02 < sulix> I'm frantically writing irrelevant stuff now.
+10:03 < sulix> I'm a little concerned about my entire section on "Document Formats" basically only referencing some specs and "Pixels or Perish".
+10:03 <@matches> That's what I do
+10:03 < sulix> Whereas I have like 20 references for graphics papers that are almost totally irrelevant.
+10:04 <@matches> I have a reference for shading on a vector display
+10:04 <@matches> That's pretty irrelevant
+10:04 < sulix> I've started referencing data structures that are "kinda similar I guess" to the Quadtree, as well. :/
+10:05 <@matches> I ham fisted it in with the paper about embedding 3d figures in documents
+10:05 <@matches> Like "in the 70s even though people had algorithms for things they still drew the diagrams by hand!"
+10:05 < sulix> Peasants!
+10:06 <@matches> My section on number representations is pretty shite
+10:06 <@matches> I still haven't finished floats
+10:06 < sulix> Mine is currently under construction, as it were.
+10:06 <@matches> And the whole point is supposed to be that floats are not good enough
+10:07 < sulix> I've got a terrible thing about floats, but have started talking about arb. precision floats now.
+10:07 <@matches> All I know about the alternatives are that they are basically still floats
+10:07 <@matches> But with more bits...
+10:07 < sulix> I also have some maths I made up that is maybe wrong.
+10:07 <@matches> Will you be here in time for doom O'clock?
+10:08 <@matches> *cough* I meant eleven
+10:08 < sulix> We can but hope.
+10:08 < sulix> I'm sort-of counting on the meeting not happening until 11:20 or so. :/
+10:09 <@matches> I'll show him Rate My Lit Review
+10:09 <@matches> That'll distract attention from the lack of Lit Review
+10:09 <@matches> I'm also assuming no one is ever going to read these IRC logs
+10:09 < sulix> We can but hope.
+10:10 < sulix> I'm feeling dirty because I've just referenced the java standard library.
+10:10 < sulix> Out damnéd 
+10:10 < sulix> java.math.BigDecimal.
+10:15 <@matches> I was going to reference that at some point
+10:16 <@matches> I feel like you've made more progress than I have been
+10:17 <@matches> Possibly the decision to sleep last night was a poor one
+10:26 < sulix> Having done the opposite: it wasn't.
+10:30 <@matches> Argh I just got the icedove reminder for the meeting
+10:32 <@matches> So I washed out my Guild (TM) Keep Cup (TM) this morning and now my tea tastes like detergent
+16:37 <@matches> We didn't get the random asking about photoshop in here
+16:37 <@matches> I feel left out
+22:49 <@matches> sjy in #ucc mentioned Knuth's Metafontbook in regards to rendering fonts at infinite precision
+22:49 <@matches> Yet another thing to get around to reading :S
+22:49 <@matches> Before Friday :S
+22:50 <@matches> Wednesday I guess if we meet Tim's deadline for a draft :P
+23:08 <@matches> I guess I was meaning to reference the TeX book at *some* point
+23:08 <@matches> So many things
+23:08 <@matches> Oh dear it's 11pm already
+23:08 <@matches> :-(
+23:09 <@matches> Ok, so 
+23:09 <@matches> Metafont seems to basically be symbolic ways to define fonts
+23:10 <@matches> Also Beziers
+23:10 <@matches> All the beziers
+23:10 <@matches> Good
+23:11 <@matches> I was on the right track when I said Beziers were really important
+23:11 <@matches> Knuth is so detailed
+23:12 <@matches> Now I feel guilty about my cartesian line
+23:12 <@matches> That I didn't reference Rene Descartes La Geometrie 1637
+23:12 <@matches> I'm a monster
+23:15 <@matches> I think instead of thinking of things as either interpreted or dom-y like Hayes does, the best way is to think about "What is in the document (eg: DOM)" and "How it is drawn" and you can either have your format care about both things or just one but obviously the most useful formats allow for both
+23:16 <@matches> Actually scratch that
+23:16 <@matches> I don't know anymore
+23:16 <@matches> It's too philosophical
+23:16  * matches goes back to floating point nubers
+23:18 <@matches> So I wonder how much of PostScript is a shameless rip off of METAFONT
+23:18 <@matches> It's not like you have to give credit when you are trying to sell something

+09:29 <@matches> So it's quite easy to do a 
+09:29 <@matches> "fractal" in SVG/Javascript
+09:29 <@matches> Where easy does not necessarily mean it isn't horrifying
+09:30 <@matches> Aaand there goes all my RAM
+21:43 <@matches> Casually slipping in a footnote directing the reader to rabbitgame.net in my lit review...
+21:43 <@matches> So my webby documents section is probably my least shitly written, or maybe that's just because it has pointless pretty pictures in it
+21:44 <@matches> It is basically
+21:44 <@matches> "Here are the w3c standards"
+21:44 <@matches> "Here are some pretty pictures made with SVGs, can't you just see the DOM leaching out of them?"
+21:44 <@matches> :S
+21:45 <@matches> I'm not sure how well I am treading the line between actually reviewing literature and just giving examples of things
