Too much work to do - project stuff for tomorrow, website due Monday, literature review and compilers coursework due a week on Tuesday... gwah!

So anyway, today I had another eye test. I'm sure that all of you who are regular readers of my diary will remember the fun with my glasses... well, I went back today and got my eyes retested.

To simplify the explanation, we will say that prescription A is the prescription for my glasses which I am wearing at the moment, which I got in 2001, and prescription B is the prescription that I got from ...

Cubes can be defined in 3d space by defining planes and then bounding them.

By 11pm I was starting to think that maybe implementing cubes wasn't such a great idea. My planes worked, but the bounding, uh, didn't.

By 2am I decided it ...
