I have now upgraded to WordPress 2.0.2. Sorry about all the mess.

Oh, and muchos gracias to Nitin, the awesome support chap (or chapess) at Fuitadnet for getting my MySQL server back on it’s feet.

I get sick of people that can’t type. They seem to be everywhere. It’s possible I could make a tidy profit from selling these keyboards, so maybe it’s not so bad.

Fear my Photoshop skills.

The original image is of the very sexy Optimus Keyboard. I want one so badly.

I have now completed the practical element of my project. It demonstrates diffuse inter-reflections to simulate real-time global illumination. It works, but has a few problems - some expected, some not. The last shot, by the way, is comparative to a very low resolution photon map. Awesome.

One thing that is totally screwing me over is that my model converter is a pile of crap when it comes to normals. I will post a screenshot later of why. Also, the framerate on the cornell scene is absolutely dire, but given the quality it’s understandable. I mean, it’s global illumination on a GeForce 6600.

The new server is running well, but because it’s configured slightly differently I’m running into interesting problems. For example, I can no longer browse file listings which is bad because nobody can see my work unless I post a link to it

I’m working on getting it fixed soon.

I have now purchased - with some aid from a friend - a new webserver. It turns out that the reason that the other server was so slow is that I was going way over my meagre bandwidth limit, so I had no other option but to get another one. Hopefully this one will be less likely to fall over.

You’ll also notice the new domain name. I thought it was more appropriate.

Let me know if you discover any problems on the site!
