It's great when all of a sudden I feel for a few seconds as if I were re-living a moment in the past. Like just now I was sitting here trying to write a ruby class to encapsulate camera orientation and maybe I smelled something and I felt just like I was about 4 years old, sitting in my room playing with blocks, and having a great time. Yesterday when I was walking back to the dorm with Andy I felt like I was out in Washington driving up a mountain. I think that was yesterday. Whatever.

I've been sitting here trying to convert to and from relative and absolute 3-dimensional rotatons (yaw, pitch, and roll). After a lot of googling and trial-and-error and using my toothbrush as a visualization tool, I can now issue relative pitch, roll, and yaw, commands to my Orientation3D object. Now I just need to figure out how to extract the absolute roll, yaw, and pitch from these 2 vectors.

Seems I woke Andy up. He was dreaming that his monitor was on a swivelly thing attached to his shelf and it came over by his bed. He was logging into his Windows box (using the good ole' tab-tab) and things were being really weird. I told him to use memory manager ("memmem" at the command prompt) and that caused a big splash screen of ASCII art to appear. And he realized that 'Kegeltz' was logged in here. So he had to close Word, but Word wouldn't close. Eventually he figured something out. And there was weird stuff like I was looking into his monitor even though I wasn't where the monitor was. I guess this is what happens when I shine my monitor in his face all night.
