I’ve been hacking on a secret project that I’ve had in the works since, oh grief, the first check-in was:

<code>commit ccb93ca5f2b256babfa0f2ef9110ac0ac4019527
Author: Elf M. Sternberg <elf.sternberg@gmail.com>

Initial check-in for Scarlett.</code>

The original project (yes, it’s named “scarlett”, deal with it) was in a combination of Python and Javascript, with Backbone as the front-end. It was, quite frankly, a terrible project, but it did what I wanted it to: it kept track of my notes. I have a directory named “Wiki” into which I dump markdown files, and have for years, and all it does is give me a slightly better UI for ‘grep,’ but it’s better than nothing.

Lab notes for the first two weeks of January.

I’ve been fiddling with a branch of the PamSeam project named Lattice in an effort to streamline the base and speed up the runtime. There are three algorithms enabled and all of them have similar processes. The basic engine is also very slow, with lots of large allocations and copying the image over and over.
