dscas1 (my pet cas platform) is getting along very nicely. I had to divert my attention temporarily from the python plugin system in order to finish some work on dscas1 that's been scheduled for Tuesday. Watch this space for screenshots.

Yesssss!!! It works! With the help of David Gobbi, I have a proof of concept of python vtk pipelines integrating seamlessly with c++ vtk pipelines. Interpreted run-time modifiable plugins, here we come!

Now I know stuff about MR angiography and physiological MR spectroscopy and imaging too! After all of this, I'm quite a fan of MRI in general; it's a really amazing technology.

"All your base are belong to us" seems to have become the motto of this generation. For some entertaining background, click here.

Today was a good day (not that it's completely over yet). I managed to finish most of the pipeline<->parameter linkage. Concurrently, I'm trying to see what possibilties there are w.r.t. integrating python vtk pipelines with existing C++ pipelines. If this can happen in a elegant way, this visualisation platform is going to rule!

Urk, I can't seem to decide which digital camera to get... there are so many available now and each one of them has something different to offer. This is probably going to take longer than I thought.

Tomorrow I work at home, so I'll be able to get some serious RealWork(tm) done. This is a good thing, seeing that I have to be an Utrecht again on Friday.

Whee, in spite of suffering from severe time for RealWork(tm) today, I managed to squash two of the nastiest remaining bugs in David Pont's fltk->vtk mixture. Hopefully we'll be able to make this available to the rest of the community.

BIG WHOOHOO, our 2-strong household just got one super-career richer today!!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that... have a look at this website. It's the virtual home and diary of a friend of mine who's spending 15 months of his life on the Antarctic. The diary is mostly a fun read and has pretty pictures too!

The MRI course was very good. Given some glue and a few bits of wood I should be able to build an MRI scanner of my own now. :) Today I also realised that this week and the next are going to be VERY busy... this means some careful juggling in order to keep everybody happy.

Yummy Sunday. One whole day of sitting around and playing with stuff. It seems my brain was working behind my back, because the one really convoluted paper I had to review suddenly became very understandable, in spite of the authors' insistence on making everything as difficult as mathematically possible.

My pet project is slowly taking shape. Fortunately, with all that open source around, it's going much faster than it would've otherwise. Obviously, if I even half-finish it, it'll be open source too. Maybe one or two crazy people will find it useful.

Meeup, tomorrow I get to go to Utrecht again, this time to have all the secrets of MRI revealed by probably Mr MRI himself.
