Being paid to code: nowt
Learning as part of compsci degree: nowt (until October )
Coding for fun: text-based online rpg server in Java
As a brief interruption to the above, I've been attempting to get the photos from my (USB) Intel Pocket PC camera under Linux... since they won't provide a driver. I may or may not be nearly there (although I'm ever optimistic 
), but I won't spend too much more time on it...

Hmm, graphics under Java?... I haven't done much, but what I have done has convinced me that it's a real pig to use. Something as simple as accessing rgb pixels of an image is tricky... so is finding out the size of the image...
These just aren't things you should have to trawl the web for information on how to accomplish!...
On the other hand, 1.4 has some nice new features... well... they finally added an 'assert' keyword ... and there's a lovely profiler... hmm, proper logging, haven't looked at that yet...

Ah... but... the Java isn't directly controlling the graphics; it'll be pre-processing some prepared VRML files before piping them to a suitable VRML browser...

btw, if anyone does want to know what a calcmage is, go to my dad's site, stupidmanok.com, and look at the "funny pictures" bit. That has my page which has a picture of me as a calcmage on it. Speaking of my dad's site, the look of his site was the last thing I got paid to code: a little bit of HTML and a whole lotta' JavaScript. >8^B

Hi calcmage.
BTW, your dad's site doesn't work well with the Opera browser (I'm using version 6.03).

Loads of bugs - about 35 open issues in release H...and when I get my MSDN universal subscription (estimated 2 weeks) I'm going to be working on other stuff instead so I may have to publish the code and let anyone who wants to use it maintain it...sensible?
