Clouds

Set the camera up for timelapse again as the weather was so clement, shot on Automatic again as I was uncertain how long it was till the light would start fading but there was plenty of time as it turns out. Next attempt will definitely have to be on manual.

Another bank holiday Monday I forgot to take off work, and given the weather it was a big mistake. There could have been BBQs galore today! Instead I sat in the office trying to work out why our toolitps have stopped working in Firefox and how to project geoFSON mapped co-ordinates into an Albers Cartesian display. The latter was far more fun than the first. At some point in the future I hope to have all 34,157 meteor impacts that I have data for overlayed onto a map of the world, with indicators of meteor type, mass in kg and possibly a slider for date of impact.

The evening was spent largely in front of the computer, with the living room doors open, the stupid blackbird is still chirping its heart mind you, consuming some weather API feeds and pouring over texts on the WebAudio API. I feel a web-based synthesizer may be highly possible and perhaps a damn sight easier than expected at first. Nearly twenty years ago when I added my first onClick="alert('hello world')" to a link I never thought I'd be styling the whole of a website based on the weather and contemplating writing a synthesizer in a programming language that was knocked up in 10 days. How times have changed.
