Today I finally tackled one of the longstanding todos in the VoIP project, namely the point of interface between ISP account activation and VoIP account activation. Since the VoIP system is written to be largely independent of the ISP billing system there's a certain "energy barrier" whenever there's something needing to be done in the ...

I continued working on OpenGL-ctypes for a few hours yesterday (until I fell asleep), just sitting down and writing test-cases for those extensions I have and using them to see if the extension modules are working. There's generally some work to do for every module that has a function using a pointer, out parameter, glGet* ...

I've just checked the auto-generated extensions for OpenGL-ctypes into the Sourceforge CVS repository. The autogeneration is still quite crude, so expect any extension with glGet-like, pointer or image-based functionality to fail. I've also reworked the glget module to use the wrapper system, which makes it a much simpler module (and makes the patterns easier to ...

I continued work on the extension wrapping code for OpenGL-ctypes this evening. The arb multitexture and arb window pos extensions both work correctly. I've extended the auto-generator such that we can add custom code directly after the auto-generated stuff to customise operation.

Anyway, the generator module is checked into CVS for those who want to ...

Spent the entire day on the VoIP project, mostly on the Emergency Services (9-1-1) support. A bit of time toward the end on the proposal for the new business.

Dad's home from the hospital. Grams is still in surgery. I'm planning on dropping in to see her tomorrow afternoon.

Have spent most of the morning working against bit rot in various internal projects. Very tedious. Nothing as bad as with PyOpenGL (which I really need to spend some more time on (I just don't want to)), but enough to take up almost 3 hours of the day.

They still haven't come in to fix ...

Today I was to rise, then work on the business plan. That was my entire todo list for the day. Instead I spent the bulk of the day on the VOIP project. There was a brief interlude where I provided free Unix lessons to one of our business partners.

Bit of time spent on learning ...

Okay, went with implementing the FreeGLUT wrappers. They are basically working now, though I can't test the mouse-wheel (I don't have a mouse-with-wheel configured on Linux).

Biggest annoyance is that only the first line of text is getting rendered with the string-rendering code. I tried using u_byte arrays (which is how arrays are normally handled ...

I decided I really needed to get the OpenGL-ctypes GLUT support finished, so I just sat down and pounded on it for a few hours. The fonts were getting messed up because I was missing the import of a & indirection (resolution, whatever) operator in the definition. Basically there's a void * in the .so, ...

I did an extra hour of work last night after getting back from Linux Caffe. That means I'm now done for the day (and week). The 9 billable hours/day target gets a little draining. Right about now I just want to curl up and let my hands do nothing for a year or two.

On ...
