I’m sitting here waiting for Cynthia to get home so we can eat, so I thought I’d write some fascinating drivel on my page.

I noticed the other day that Nova Design (http://www.novadesign.com) has a brand new web design. (Nova Design being that place where I used to work on Amiga software.) I find some sadistic pleasure in noting that the ImageFX version number has not increased since I left. :) Just kidding. Why would anyone work on Amiga software now anyway?? More importantly for them, why would anyone buy Amiga software now??

Speaking of image processing, over the weekend I also made some significant progress on my own personal image processing engine. It is now able to open up AVIs and seamlessly swap frames in and out of memory and stuff. I have some hopes that I might eventually come up with a program with which I can edit my home movie AVIs. My motiviation for this is the same as always: I don’t want to buy real AVI editing software, and I can most likely come up with a better software design than the thousands of highly-paid, highly-skilled people who have done it before me.

Oh well, Cynthia’s on her way home!
