HUGLHGULGHULG
There, damn it! I’ve contacted every company involved with anything near computer science in PG. Hopefully someone will get back to me and give me work to do.
Hi guise, I made something for you. This took four modern computers about six hours to render :D.
Given the recurrence relation:
Zn+1 = (|Re(Zn)| + i*|Im(Zn)|)^p + c, Z0 = 0
The power p is increased linearly from 1 to 20 over 1901 frames.
The renderer was written in C++; ffmpeg was used to splice frames together into video. The music is Nathan Fake - The Sky was Pink.
Exercise: Prove that as p approaches infinity, the set converges to a circle with radius 1 on the complex plane.
Okay, out of the woods.
I have forgotten to post here with good frequency, which is unfortunate. I have also failed to read the posts of my friends, which is downright disrespectful.
Now that I am out school for a semester, I feel like I have fallen behind in the ebb and flow of my friends. I apologize, and I would like to be a part of things, near and attentive, as compared to my distant and unfocused self in Ontario.
To My Friend
I am sorry. I am the fool. I didn’t understand. I should not have said anything, except perhaps given my condolences.
Walking on a Sunny Day
My mother and aunt would drag me on walks in the wilderness when I was young. We would be visiting extended family in Hazelton; it was usually winter. For those who have not been to Hazelton, the landscape is stunning. Forest is everywhere, and large mountains rise up both near you and far away from you on the horizon. My family would walk together, a group of seven, through the profoundly quiet, snow-covered forest. At the time, I walked impatiently with the others. I had nothing to do after the day’s walk, but yet I still felt the need to be done with it. When I walk through winter forests now, I enjoy the serenity and I do not want to leave. However, I have more obligations now than I did as a child; I can not stay walking in the forest. I can imagine being old, though, with nothing more to do or make. In this scenario, I see myself walking in the forest with no reason to leave.
A neat render of recurrence relation:
Z <-> (abs(Re(Z)) + i*abs(Im(Z)))^5 + c, Zo = 0.
I tried to speed up my renderer by replacing all calls to sin and cos with Taylor series approximations, but an entirely different image was produced.
Biking At Night
Today I woke up late, and spent most of the day doing fairly frustrating tasks involving computers. I did manage to destroy the last few bugs in some code involving trees; it was quite a rewarding task. My other medium-size project decided to explode, which was not entirely unexpected.
I had intended to go for a light evening ride on my newly repaired bicycle. I was unexpectedly sidetracked from 8:30 to 2:20, although I did receive some delicious free food. At 2:50, I decided to go biking anyway.
I expected to be in bad shape at the beginning of my ride. To my delight, the exercise was not horrible. After twenty minutes, I found myself immersed in the cold air and speed. I was gliding over reflective roads while listening to excellent music; I felt joyfully intoxicated.
At 3:50, I returned to residence. Upon plotting my route, I found I had biked 16.6km. I should really not be in good shape, but it appears that I am. In any case, it was a good use of the early morning.
A collaboration of Isaac Smeele, Sam Watkinson, John Peck, Jordan Elder, Michael Elder, and myself. Enjoy!
