Seeds 23-29

As the ant among foreign-enemy ants is killed,

Pattie Maes: Humanizing the Global Computer

"Now that we have a network, it's as though we already have our intelligent machine. It's a huge distributed system in which, like an ant society, none of the components are critical."

besides ants, there are plants, with their secrets

oh, and sorry for not introducing myself -- after all, this is my personal homepage (t). you could of course see the pages of my little brother's, all their names begin with 'T' as well: Timo, Taneli and Taavetti (in birth order). naturally, we also have a father, his name begins with R though. now there is a new boy in their family, even!

family, J and e

there are also Other people in the world.
some yet others are absolutely poor.

and another kind of a part is something like this:
03:41 <M12> any suggestions for a good linux avi player?
03:42 <an-t> i've never played publicly as a dj, some other's of are and i like it too
03:43 <an-t> xine was discussed earlier on #pygame (to have it there via libxine perhaps)
03:43 <an-t> i've often used mplayer but it's non-free
03:43 <M12> aha...
03:43 <M12> ...
03:43 <M12> xine?
03:43 <an-t> but it can use Windows dlls so you can view Microsoft formats
03:43 <M12> hehehe
03:44 <M12> really?
03:44 <an-t> yes xine is an ok video player
03:44 <M12> and opensource?
03:44 <an-t> and yes, there is a w32codecs (unofficial of course) package for debian by the 
               mplayer ppl
03:45 <M12> sweey
03:45 <an-t> both mplayer and xine are open source, but only xine is purely free i heard today on 
               #pygame
03:45 <an-t> haven't actually checked if xine works on macosx, have used mplayer there
03:46 <an-t> but mostly quicktime of course
03:49 <M12> yeah
03:51 <M12> what kind of things have you put together with pygame?
03:52 <an-t> hm, the first is a video based quiz, did that for a science center
03:53 <M12> cool
03:53 <an-t> then i made an character animation system in Python but used that with Blender, some 
               parts are reusable elsewhere too (like the TimeCode and RhythmMaster classes), that 
               work is documented in http://an.org/gradu2/gradu2.rst and published in http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/KyperMover
03:54 <an-t> then a kind of a drawing app, and now a network game where am generating textures 
               using classes made for that drawing app
03:54 <M12> holy crap... that's badass
03:54 <an-t> ?
03:55 <M12> all of it, really... i just started yesterday so i don't know the potential of pygam
03:56 <M12> what type of net game?
03:57 <an-t> just a little test for designing http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/FirstAndLast/ which we are working on
03:58 <an-t> did/doing that test based on sjbrowns example
