I was reading some interesting stuff on Andy Hunt’s blog, and as it was 6 AM and I had nothing else to do, I took this test ..

There has been some interesting discussion of image processing ideas and such on the lists, owing to our discovery that the paper has some 1500 holes, and the picture only about half as many visible strikes. Here are some of the pictures, and some thoughts on what we’re about.

All right, already! We break down and draw a visible picture, mostly because I wanted Chet to share in the discovery and I knew I couldn’t hold off over the holidays. It looks cool. Does it tell us anything?

We combine the PatterningSheet into ShotPattern, and discuss the effects of doing so.

Today we think we’ll work on consolidating pixels into actual hits, or an approximation thereof. Join us at Borders. If nothing else, you’ll see a prodigious 18 minute spewing of code.

On the plane to Florida, I got an idea for how to clump adjacent pixels to represent a single hit. Apres moi, le rat hole. Here’s a report …

A new low! We’re taken to task for thinking in our free time! I attempt an explanation, and add some random thoughts. Quelle surprise!

We’ve agreed to do this project the way that we think projects should be done, and that includes Acceptance tests. Today we’ll try for the first one.
