VANGUARD RESTORATION: THE FIRST FILMS OF THE WCF
Each and every title is precious to me, and my hope is that a viewing on this website will lead you to seek out screenings of these pictures or perhaps DVDs as they appear.

2point8 » Ways of Working
Ways of Working is a series of articles I wrote in 2005 about the practice of street photography. The pieces are highly subjective, and are the result of much shooting, note taking, and general time wasting. I hope they prove to be of value, however small. Thanks for reading.

Java Profiling « www.jillesvangurp.com
I hope somebody in the TPTP project reads this: your stuff is unusable. If there’s a magic combination of settings that makes this shit work as it should: I missed it, your documentation was useless, the most useful suggestion I found was to not use TPTP. No I don’t want to fiddle with cryptic vm commandline parameters, manually compiling C shit, fiddle with well hidden settings pages, etc. All I wanted was right click, profile.
So am I now a Netbeans user? No way! I can’t stand how tedious it is for coding. Run profiler in Netbeans, go ah, alt tab to eclipse and fix it. Works for me.
Bien dit !

MIT Media Lab: Design Ecology / Information Ecology
Would you know if a dear, but seldom seen, friend happened to be on the same train as you? The proximeter is both an agent that tracks the past and future proximity of one’s social cloud, and an instrument that charts this in an ambient display. By reading existing calendar and social network feeds of others, and abstracting these into a glanceable pattern of paths, we hope to nuture within users a social proprioception and nudge them toward more face-to-face interactions when opportunities arise.
Ampersand Book | Andy Mangold
I went through all 900 fonts on my computer and selected what I find to be some of the most interesting, beautiful, or historically significant ampersands. Paired with their designer and in chronological order, all the way from Bembo in 1495 to Jos Buivenga’s FREE Delicious, designed just last year. They were transferred from laser prints with wintergreen oil onto tan Rives BFK, and bound accordion fold style with some sourced leather covers (I hope to write an article about sourcing leather soon).

Marketing - Community Mozilla
The Community Marketing Guide is a resource for members of the Mozilla community who are interested in getting involved and in helping to promote the Mozilla project in their locale. We hope the guide helps Mozillians identify activities they wish to undertake and point them to the resources that are already available to the community. The guide is of course a work in progress and will be regularly updated, so your feedback to help improve it is always welcome.
Astrotags explained : Astronomy Photographer of the Year : Exhibitions : Visit the museum : NMM
Astrotags are a new way to label your photos of space – they describe what your photo is of, and where in space that is. With your help, we hope that astrotags will let us build a beautiful montage of your astronomy photos.

pas seulement pour la partie technique, mais malheureusement pour la partie commerciale et communicationSome seem to have given almost zero consideration to the fact that their application might become successful, and its availability might become quite critical. They haven’t given much thought to things like backups or disaster recovery. They have no plan for how to deploy their application such that when it comes time to scale, it has some hope of doing so without large amounts of downtime, or huge retooling efforts.

Cityscapes of the Displaced
Dsplaced is an exploration of the human belonging - to a city, a country or even oneself. Through voluntary submissions, Displaced illuminates a universal palette of emotions that individuals often spend a lifetime trying to decipher. But most importantly, Dsplaced is an experiment in collective storytelling - and it is our fervent hope that you will become a part of this mosaic. The web is our chosen platform for this expression. We know no other way that will allow us to create a place that overtime will build itself into a rich tapestry of personal stories.

unblab: Brief Email for Busy People
Language (API) Processing 1.0
- Libraries - All libraries must be placed in a folder named "libraries", inside the sketchbook folder. Do not use the main "libraries" directory in the Processing distribution, as it is reserved for the core libraries, and is not visible on Mac OS X.
- XML - The XML library is now included by default, so you won't find it in the Import Library menu anymore. In addition, the XML library since 0135 has been greatly improved, making it compatible with far more documents.
- Processing.app - The Mac OS X release of Processing is now a single .app file, more befitting an OS X application.
- Processing.exe - The Windows release has a new launcher based on launch4j. Unfortunately, some machines have a problem with the new launcher that we haven't been able to track down. If you have trouble, please help us find the problem. PDE files are also now double-clickable on Windows.
- OpenGL - All OpenGL sketches now use 2x full screen anti-aliasing. This means that these sketches are always smooth, and the smooth() and noSmooth() commands are ignored. To return to the behavior found in the beta releases, see the hint() reference.
- P2D and P3D - The P2D renderer has returned (see the size() reference) and smoothing is now enabled for both P2D and P3D. Smoothing support is unfortunately incomplete, however, and sometimes thin lines can be seen inside shapes. This is a very high priority bug to be fixed in a future release.
- Candy and PShape - The Candy SVG library has been merged into the core, which brings along a new loadShape() command and a new PShape object. The special powers of PShape will be rolled out in future releases. For the time being, loadShape() works best with the default renderer (JAVA2D). Complex shapes will often appear jagged or not at all when rendered with P2D, P3D, and OPENGL. We've also added better support for SVG files created with Inkscape.
- PVector - We've added a new class called PVector, which is a simple three-dimensional vector (also known as point or tuple) class. This is useful for storing point data, or operations on 3D points.
- Tools - A new Tools API has been created for developers who want to contribute code that extends the Processing Development Environment in some fashion. Let your creativity flow with fantastical contributions like "Color Selector 2.0", "ROT13 Code Mangler", and "I Am Rich". Visit the developer page on tools for more information. Similar to libraries, tools are installed in a folder of the same name within your sketchbook folder.
- Asynchronouse Images - Big JPEGs and small pipes? We've added a new requestImage() that loads an image in the background so that your sketch doesn't freeze when loading lots of large images over a slow connection.
- Present - Present mode (full screen) is handled differently. When run inside the PDE, only Mac OS X uses exclusive mode with Present. Windows and Linux just do full screen windows. When run outside the PDE, all three simply create an undecorated window the size of the entire screen, and on the Mac, an option is added to the Info.plist file to hide the dock and menubar (since that cannot be done programatically from Java).
- Compiler - We've removed the old Jikes compiler and are now using another. We've also tried hard to improve the quality of error messages, though some are still real gems that invoke the complaints of mainframe computers in 1970s films.
- Internationalization - For better internationalization support, we've changed to UTF-8 encoding when loading and saving sketches. Sketches that contain non-ASCII characters and were saved with Processing 0140 and earlier may look strange when opened. Garbled text and odd characters may appear where umlauts, cedillas, and Japanese formerly lived. If this happens, use the "Fix Encoding & Reload" option under the Tools menu. This will reload your sketch using the same method as previous versions of Processing, at which point you can re-save it which will write a proper UTF-8 version.
- Java - Linux and Windows now inlude Java 6 update 10 with the download. We still don't have support for Java 1.5 syntax yet, but we hope that the performance boosts in Java 6 will help applications run well.
