Getting there (still)... some margins are off, sigh

Not that it doesn't have any merit....

The bloody neural gas crossed the boundary, and Mr Dijkstra was quick to follow :-/

I'll get there soon…

Given the nature of my project, I should rather use ant colony optimisation… Anyway, too late, thing is running...

I adopted some else's Dijkstra implementation, and it's bloody slow 💤

That's the GNG output for unfolded six pages.

/*
ok, here's the idea:

- for each possible page-folding
config:
- create a GNG from the
possible space occupied by the
edges around the paragraphs
- turn it into a MST
- locate the possible starting and
stopping points
- find the path
- create a bezier along it
- make sure we don't overlap the
paragraphs, otherwise
rerun with stronger boundary
padding
- render the edge text to svg
- create a place-on-path version
of it
- render it to PDF
*/

I merely have to implement :-/

Bwa, enough with the negativity. ☕ 🌳 🐈 💮

This was this morning, trying to combine the most important two properties of #caturday : #pancakes and #cat - cat wasn't so keen on my pancakes tho

Ok, I think I understood the basic paths...

Cracking my brain over this question: How many alternative paths (none of which contains another) can you draw between two points on two different pages of a (bound) book? How many if you allow rotations but not mirroring?

Cleaned up my studio today - David's coming over and we'll do a bit of #AnemoneActiniaria rehearsing, yeah!

Very nice: Performance John Bowers - "Stookie John Comes To Belfast"

The great thing of having an orange is that you can defer eating it, instead holding it in your hand from time to time, feeling its shape and taking a smell at it. 🔶

We put up a trailer from Ron Kuivila's piece 'Listening to the Air', a series of episodes using ultrasound, which he made during the #ALMAT Algorithms that Matter artistic-research residency: https://vimeo.com/260234567

The videos from the HAL Humanising #Algorithmic Listening workshop No. 3 are online, which was a very interesting research project by Alice Eldridge and Paul Stapleton ; I'll just highlight these three (check out the entire playlist):

This text fade-in/out cost me a lot of time fighting with XML, SVG parsing and affine transforms, so appreciate it 🤓
