SECOND STEPS IN CFDG
Posted by andyleclair | Filed under Art, Code
I’ve been making more stuff in CFDG! Here are two variations on try # 2.
Stupidly, I forgot the variation for the first one, so I have no way of reproducing it. The image above is all I have. The second image is variation LAE.
A note about variations: Since CFDG allows for non-deterministic outcomes, there are “Variations” on every image, which account for the randomness of each image (or at least that’s how my naive understanding works). The same code produced both of the above images.
My .cfdg file is available HERE.

I downloaded Context Free the other day,and I was playing around with it a little bit. This is the first thing I’ve come up with. I thought it was pretty sweet!

BARCAMPBOSTON 3
Posted by andyleclair | Filed under Code, Music
This weekend I’m at BarCampBoston 3, an UnConference for Boston area geeks to get together, give presentations on cool stuff, see cool stuff being presented, and of course, get some free shit swag!
So far, I’ve seen John Resig, the creator of the unbearably popular jQuery library, give a talk about jQuery (the video of this will be up on youtube shortly) and Processing/Processing.js (the video of this is in parts and my or may not be b0rked, so we’ll see about the youtubing of it). I also saw a talk from one of the M$ guys about XNA, although he really rushed through and basically said “this is awesome and if I had more time I’d show it to you” about every part of XNA. The talk he gave was also really basic and didn’t go much into the technical of actually DOING anything with XNA, besides going to the website and doing tutorials and looking at samples. I wish I knew the name of the guy who gave the presentation, because I’d tall him that a brief look at some autogenerated code and telling the audience that “you don’t have to worry about anything, XNA is managing all of this” does not a presentation make. Am I surprised? No. I just wish that the presentation he gave was close to the one that the M$ guys gave when they came to Northeastern to demo XNA and Vista. Those guys knew their shit.
I’m having a great time here meeting a bunch of cool MA hackers. Later on today I’m going to be giving a presentation with MIT’s Kurt Keville about Wi-Fi netowrks and building Wi-Fi Concatenators (think a satellite dish, but for wi-fi). I’ll have pics and video up later.
