I'm a just a small town AAA graphics programmer in Chicago. I worked on Gears 5 and Gears Tactics. My work is secret, but my personal projects are not.

I like to post about my personal research, various side projects, and I like to think out loud a lot. Expect weird humor, esoteric ramblings, and occasionally also art I made out of math. I like implicit surface modeling the normal amount. Amateur spoonie. 🏳️‍⚧️

Curses are just blessings with caveats.

I made some progress on the splat renderer tonight

A rendering of a spinning ring-like object with floating spheres. The shapes are covered with colorful splats to reveal their surface.

Day 9 of 30 CSS animations. More cards effects.
This time I learned about clip paths and applied it to the 'before' green element to cut it into a circle and change it when hovering. Plus some slide in transitions.

A card with some css transition to make buttons appear.

Ok, I’m sorry, I’m going to ruffle feathers here but… I’m trying to read some newer development process books and… oh my… even super popular ones are so immensely long winded and unconvincing in their dogmatic argumentation: this is bad, this is good, because I said so that’s why.

Recent examples that I’m struggling to finish: “Team Topologies” and “Data Mesh” - I mean they might be great but I’m getting strong “this should’ve been a blogpost” feels.

The worst part of Agile and Lean etc has been the wave of folks earning their living telling you confidently how to build while they themselves have barely ever shipped anything.

The kids weren’t taking tick checks seriously, so I offered them a dollar for every tick they find. I will definitely not regret the perverse incentive this creates.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Tell us again when blogs were printed on shiny paper filled with colorful ads that were not more relevant." Well, kids, those were called magazines and they sometimes had contests offering prizes like these back in the year 2000.

Got the camp's first bonfire blazing, with sacrificial items to appease the spirits. I even dug a little ditch next to it to minimise the fire risk.

    Downloaded the Witcher 3 REDkit. Can't imagine I'll find the time to properly look into it within this year, but downloaded it nonetheless. https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_redkit

    Game design evening going over notes and writing a lot. Realized that you probably want to be able to douse fires and torches with water for stealth reasons and that I'm just making Thief now

    For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

    From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

    Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

    I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.

    Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.

    It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.

    The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.

    The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.

    And if you didn’t believe me.. found this on TikTok.

    There’s an MSFT employee in the background saying “I don’t know if the team is going to be very happy…”

    They should probably be transparent about it, rather than telling BBC News you’d need to be physically at the PC to hack it (not true). Just a thought.

    Since I have deleted my photography accounts from the other social media sites, I'll start a thread here. Seasonal photographs that I've taken, both old and new.
