Print Story A Day in the Life
Dear Japan,

Your clocks are running seven hours too fast. PLZFIXKTHXBYE!

I like my Japanese cow-orkers. I really do. Of course, I've never had any "face-time" with them which might explain this lack of animosity. But when I need to work with them I either have to be up at 3am (and sober enough to function) or I might as well send snail mail. One round-trip communication takes three days.

Poll: LOL creashunistas

The latest of my SVG applets is functional, but not complete.
(potentially not safe for work, anatomically correct male 3d model in non-lewd pose)

You can draw on the surface of the model with either the point or rectangle tools.

The basic SVG 3d applet is nearly complete. (Safe for work)

Scaling was finished awhile ago, though technically I am resizing, since scaling implies something done in funky 3d math. When you drag, it just adjusts the 4 corners' 3d coordinates. (Which is good, because this is easier to directly translate to size).

I've been tinkering with a new SVG applet. Pretty ugly eh?

(Instructions: scroll down to the slider widget, and use it.)

It seems he took offense to my reporting one of his more imbecilic dupes. Words were exchanged. Tempers flared. In the end, he said that K5 would remain the mess that it is now, and that he felt compelled to to do his part to make sure that was the case. Then he politely bid me adeiu and suggested I come here.
