Day log, 27th October 2010

I spent the first half of today working on my Mandelbrot set visualisation, the most notable improvement to which is that it now actually displays the Mandelbrot set, rather than the sort-of-looks-like-a-biohazard-sign-and-definitely-isnt-the-Mandelbrot set. I’m going to try adding a UI for zooming in and out and panning around areas of the plane - I’ve started implementing a double-buffered panel class for AWT in Java which I’m going to use for this, but it still needs a bit of work. I spent the rest of the day at Harmonypark, finishing off my Thrive authorization work. I’m going to attempt to read a bit of Godel, Escher, Bach now - it’s pretty much perfect reading for evenings where I’m not quite up to continuing with work or reading textbooks, but still want to do something at least vaguely productive. Tomorrow, I have more work to do on Thrive (our launch date is fast approaching). I’m hoping to get further into my stats book, and do some Architecture and Hardware homework too.
