   <title>Progress!</title>
   <description>
    &lt;p&gt;
Well well.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#039;ve been making pretty good progress the past few days.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#039;ve met up with George &amp;amp; Greg, and it&#039;s now full steam ahead! Our exhibition (as yet, unnamed) opens at the UTS Gallery on the 11th of March, which means, lots of coding for the next couple of weeks! (I&#039;m also working intensively on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nnooo.com/games/pop/home.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pop&lt;/a&gt; for the next month or so!)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#039;ve setup a &lt;a href=&quot;http://oversight.talsit.info/mwiki&quot;&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt; so I can keep track of things that i need to get done. Idealy I would have some sort of &lt;a href=&quot;https://oversight.talsit.info/bugz/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bugzilla&lt;/a&gt;+wiki combo or, even better, &lt;a href=&quot;https://talsit.fogbugz.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;fogbugz&lt;/a&gt; installed. I find setting bugzilla a drone. Fogbugz was pretty sweet, but I couldn&#039;t make tasks dependant on other tasks, and anyway, it&#039;s not free, it&#039;s a 45-day trial :S.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Back to the progress.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#039;m very happy the way that the scripting is working out. Scriptable derives from AttribHolder, and everything will be that way. I haven&#039;t quite worked out how to make all the math classes be scripted, but I&#039;ll see soon enough with that.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This system should be heaps more flexible than previous systems that I&#039;ve written. You can now easily Push &amp;amp; Check classes, and the appropriate metatable will be automatically set. No more manually casting from a child to a parent. Also, when you call a function, the system will automatically check its parameters and will inform you if they&#039;re wrong, and which one is wrong, and what it should look like. More nicer now!
&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Introductions</title>
   <description>
    Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m tALSit de CoD, and I&#039;ve been asked to participate in an art instalation as principal coder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We&#039;re still coming to grips on exactly what we want to do, but what is known is that it will involve some nice funky graphics, and that&#039;s where I come in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m in the process of writing an engine with real-time graphics capabilities, but I&#039;m writing it in a way that it&#039;s flexible to create, flexible to extend, portable and fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s an OpenGL beast, and I&#039;m making every attempt to make it run fine on Win32, Linux &amp;amp; Darwin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Source code is available &lt;a href=&quot;https://oversight.talsit.info/websvn/wsvn/CoD/code/kikura/trunk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;here&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (u: anon, p: ), so check it out and let me know what you think!
