20 July 2011

originally I went outside to take a picture of myself, but when I saw this I had to take it as well. Last day before we leave on that soccer camp. Which I'm allowed to take my camera to (Coach said so). We're not allowed to bring electronic devices, like mp3 players, (and like MP3 players). Cell phones are allowed, but only to really call home once we're about to leave camp.



me, (yes, it is me believe it or not) with much shorter hair.
6-7 day old triop; below that I'm reposting the picture of the 12-24 hour old triop
so you can compare the sizes, since the finger size is very similar.

96 today and supposed to feel like 100.
and July 21 it's supposed to be 99 and feeling at 108, possibly worse.

The all time record hi for today is 98, while tomorrow it's 97, two degress lower then the Hi for tomorrow. I yi yi, gah di da... (a new saying I like)

my, my, how they've grown. I'm kinda using these pictures so I can see their growth as well.

an oragami box I made out of six square pieces of paper around 0.7 CM or 7 MM

I was looking at the triops trying to get a better shot, I look up and see Sprout looking at me with part of that cricket on his mouth, and holding the rest of the cricket. He had a llok of someone caught eating a cookie or something they weren't supposed to be eating (it looked quite hilarious :D)


The Building finished with windows, I'm thinking about changing some things texture wise though.


mapping wise: to use the Linear option in physics, specifically to calculate how high a tank will go with a given Z value use this, plus an example
[source: http://wiki.bzflag.org/Physics]

Height = ( velocity ^ 2 ) / ( 2 * gravity )

Default gravity is 9.81, so in our example:
Height = ( 50 ^ 2 ) / ( 2 * 9.81 ) = 2500 / 19.62 = ~ 127 units

also that source has the formula to calculate the speed of WU for the angular setting
