Question :<\/b> Hey Phil, do you actually do any programming these days?<\/p>\n

Answer :<\/b> Yes. Quite a lot at the moment. Though it’s a bit all over the shop.<\/p>\n

I’m dipping a toe into Android programming. (And, hmmm … Java …. I thought I’d got over my Java hangups by doing a lot of Processing, but it turns out that Processing just hides the crap and Android doesn’t. Why hasn’t Google picked up on Processing to turn it into a first-class Android art \/ game app. development environment?)<\/p>\n

I’m mainly writing CoffeeScript. Some stuff related to my ongoing 3D modelling \/ desktop manufacturing projects. (Did I forget to mention those? I’m sure there’s a half-written blogpost somewhere.) Some work towards an SdiDesk-derived network diagramming plugin for Smallest Federated Wiki (held up by silly problems). Some other bits and pieces. I’ve recently been playing with Jison<\/a>, which rocks. And I’m about to investigate angular.js<\/a> which looks pretty good.<\/p>\n

There’s a project for small stand-alone web-servers that I’ll talk about more if \/ when it takes off.<\/p>\n

I’ve been trying to compile example VST<\/a> instruments \u00a0(C++) for some of my work with the Brasilia Laptop Orchestra, but it’s driving me crazy. (I may go back to Pure Data which can be embedded<\/a> in a VST.)<\/p>\n

A bit of PHP, just simple small web-services.<\/p>\n

I’m going to be teaching an Arduino course soon. So I’ll be writing a bit of C and I want to try Occam-\u2ca0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m still writing Python too. Mainly for short file transformation scripts or to prototype algorithms that later get translated into CoffeeScript.<\/p>\n

Some of this stuff is headed for GitHub<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
