Keyboard Prayer

 Keyboard Prayer
 ------------------
 [mapped from the marines' rifleman prayer]
 
 :: Sebastian Mach ((C) June 2007), http://phresnel.org .... ::
 :: feel free to distribute this. please include this two-liner ::

 
 This is my Keyboard.
 There are many like it, but this one is mine.

 My Keyboard is my finest tool. It is my interface.
 I must master it as I must master my life.

 My Keyboard, without Me, is useless.
 Without my Keyboard, I am useless.
 I must type into my Keyboard true.    
 I can finish it all faster than those who intend to use the mouse.
 I can finish it before they are able to. I do so...

 My Keyboard and myself know that what counts in this hack-mode
 is the single char we shoot, the string we pop, and the statement we type in.
 We know that it is every bit in the code that counts. We will code...

 My Keyboard is human, even as I, because it makes my coding-session.
 Thus, I will never unplug it.
 I will learn each Key's position, its sensitivity, its shift-, its meta-, as well as every other interpretation.
 I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.
 I will keep my Keyboard clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
 We become part of each other. We will...

 Before the Demigods I swear this creed.
 My Keyboard and myself are the creators of my code.
 We are the masters of our bug.
 We are the implementors of our algorithm.
 So be it, until it is all typed in, and running!

Never change a running system

Tue Sep 05, 2006

on the left: safer computing? (hint: it's not linux); on the right: a running system

Never change a running system, lore tells. I absolutely admit, I did not change a running system.

Instead I changed a system which does no more boot nicely. Why does it no more boot up? Hell, I don't know it. It's simply, sorry, some piece of shit from Redmond, USA.

So what I have basically done: Change to a running system. Lucky me Linux is able to ntfs. Praise the open-source, I can use all of my favored tools, and, most important, I easily migrated my ray tracer to linux. Great!

From Hell

Tue Aug 22, 2006

He makes us coders and programmers cry. He hates us, he comes from hell, with evil intentions.

His Target: the absolute destruction of human beeing.
It's about: The BUG

(a bug is an error produced by a programmer, for example istead of writing x=y+3 he writes x=y-3 and the whole program may not make any sense anymore)

From Hell

My hate is deep, I'm hating him really
Man, the algorithm has been defined so clearly
But nevertheless, he WILL come around
Silent, stealthy, without any sound
He eats from my code, eats from my sources
Fighting him might need mighty forces
Sometimes, when no more debugging helps kill
I have to rewrite, but that sucker pays the bill
I'll move you, lil' bug, to the trash-directory
and me? Well, mate, I'm a human, don't worry^^

Convergence everywhere

Wed Jul 19, 2006

The sun is evil and at her midlife-crisis. She makes my non-H2O-particles converge to 100%...and that without inserting new ones. Think about it.

A little poem on Monte-Carlo-Raytracing

Wed Jun 14, 2006

A little poem

Converging to zero means find the solution,
this can be done by some nice distribution,
Begging the system for prior execution,
we trace the images with extreme resolution.

The more rays you spawn the higher the detail you get;
We trace it all from röntgen to infernal ultraviolet.
Or just some standard red-green-blue,
it's all not a problem, max problem is you.

Soft shadows a glimpse on what MC can apply,
indirect lighting not only by objects nearby.
A caustic traced through a glass of cognac,
to obtain the solution we have to keep track.

Best intersection in common is nearest,
a realistic synthesis is our dearest.
Expanding the nodes of most interest,
our computers are the ones never rest.

Random is modern, funky and raw;
multiple rays on multiple core.
That global illumation is all-embracing:
It's all about that Monte-Carlo-Raytracing.

This image I created years ago for xploderz, I don't know where the file is, but lucky me got it on paper. Art lies in the viewers eyes, what do you see?	... and one more ...	This one's the old 'welcome' image when opening my website

Ode an den Kaffee

Fri May 19, 2006

Ich zitiere Nope:
"Kaffe, oh mein kaffe
so wunderschön und lecker
machst mich wach wenn ich es brauch...."

Und nun eine Ode:
"de kaffee is da wenn man em braucht
derjenige der einem et leben einhaucht
nich zu warm un nich zu kalt
ob auf der flur oder im wald
lekker tut er schmecken tun
nich nur dem frosch, nein auch dem huhn
er is immer da für ein'n
ejal ob groß, ejal ob klein
alles ejal wat der chef ein'n sacht
et is der kaffee, der den tach schön macht"
