"Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI - Digital Deluxe" is very cheap on humble bundle store right now. Finally bought it! (you get a key you redeem on steam), best part of it all - supports linux like previous versions.

Finished all the shader gui tweaks on my #pbrt exporter, so now I'm going to test each one and make sure they export with the new parameters. The code will be cleaner and work better with the new parameters, so I'm happy with it. #b3d

One of the best #psytrance albums I've heard this year.

I now have input 'slot' for different textures in my blender pbrt exporter. Min\max for float value, and you can drag a texture to the input color 'slot' to use as texture. Starting to look like something now. #b3d #pbrt

Been sick all week (lung infection), getting better now, hate being off work and home doing nothing for so long, so I'm looking forward to get back to work again on Monday feeling like my self again.

Someone is trying to trick me to install trojans through email, I get these kind of emails almost daily. Now Ill start a new hobby which will be to reverse engineer the trojans and try to follow their tracks.

Today I'm sitting down playing 'Unreal world', great game, graphics speaks for itself, but I do not mind that kind of graphics, game play is really good. So far I'm really enjoying this game, especially since you get to put your skills to the test.

Weekend again! Feels very good, been a busy week as always! Time will be spent with my family obviously, other then that I hoped for some time for some coding and play some pubg and quake champions.

Getting rid of come bugs in my #blender #pbrt exporter, and adding some features. Currently testing each shader to make sure they behave the way they should when rendered. some values are still causing the render engine to crash when it has rendered for a good while.
At least I can reproduce the bugs and get them posted in the pbrt bug-tracker later on. I also have to go through each shader and make sure they have the correct default value and min/max settings and such in the custom blender shader nodes.

Today I decided to start and give Diaspora a try. I'm not really an 'electronic social network' kind of guy, but I did spend some time on Google+. The latest developments around that platform triggered me in broadening my horizon and look for an alternative platform. FB is not my cup of tea, I'm looking for something more open and reasonable where people remain human and not merely a product. I'll try and become an active Diaspora user the upcoming time, and see if we are a match :-)
By the way, how does the public here regard Mastadon? It seems to me that Mastadon is to Twitter what Diaspora is to Google+.

Heh, this morning I woke up and wondered why my laptop had died, it seemed to have shut itself off completely, then tonight I was going to fix it, touched the mouse and I realize the laptop had no issues, I had just forgotten that I taped over every single LED last night. hah

After the server OS/database update I did some weeks ago https://diasporapod.no the server has been running better then ever before. No hiccups, no freeze or issues. So Im very happy that I took the time to get that sorted, that time was well spent.

I just now realized that CentOS runs on Raspberry Pi , I had totally forgotten. Installing it and setting it up tonight. I love that OS.

A few days ago news broke that 50 million #facebook users’ accounts had been breached. Here's a timeline (dating way back to 2003) of the other times Facebook did bad things.

Sunday hike.

I now export the environment map or color in the PBRT exporter. Small but important feature, in my previous tests it was hard-coded. I try and fix one feature each night I have time for coding. #b3d

I'm happy to say that I got my PBRT exporter working in Blender 2.8, so now I'm switching over. I'm lagging behind on releasing it, but it'll be my focus each night this week. #b3d

What are you all doing this weekend?

Been looking around a bit in the diaspora API, I'm thinking about making a desktop client for diaspora. I've been maintaining such a client for gnusocial for a long time, but now since the gnusocial server I was on got closed down I'm not using that any more. I usually work in c++, and Qt is the way to do it. I'll look around a bit more and see if I can get something started. The gnusocial client I'm talking about is this one : https://gitlab.com/stigatle/yaics
Would be nice to have it the same way but for diaspora.
