Python Houdini Tool Post

Jasonfugh.com has a post of some video of a Python based special effects tool he made that works with Houdini. It is his first tool that he has made for Houdini. The software lives in a separate window to help change a rain effect in the main window.

Historic computers on the web

The founders of the group take an image of a processor such as the 6502 and then simulate its operation based on software that interprets the transistors in the picture. There is a javascript simulation that will run in a web browser if one wishes to try it out.

Computer Graphics, Fractals, Demoscene

A friend found a site by IƱigo Quilez about computer graphics, fractals, and the demoscene. The math section looked interesting. I didn't have time to go over it much right now, but I hope to visit it again later.

Application in Python Using a Trie

I found a blog entry that describes using a Python implementation of a trie to calculate Levenshtein distance quickly but have yet to find the time to the sample code out.
