On this website, I will present my graphical and musical experiments, which I create from time to time. If you like (some of) them, feel free to comment on them or contact me.
Besides such explorations into for me more or less foreign worlds, I will use dimensionv.de in the future to present (some of) my software development projects, which will usually (but not necessarily) be opensource, under BSD-License.

This citation from Herbert Hoover reminds me a lot of software-development... About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends.

Over the weekend, I worked on getting my old scene "VI5: Rising" up and rendering with POV-Ray 3.7 . It turned out to be impossible the way it was, because unknowingly I relied on a few bugs in Version 3.1, which have been fixed since version 3.5 or 3.6. Long story short: I re-designed the scene and you can watch it here and on deviantart.com, now.

As of now, I am an official deviantart.com-Artist, with my own deviantart-page. My name there is DimensionV, because my usually used name on the 'net was already occupied by someone else. Well, first come, first serve, and I was too late, so I named myself after my website, DimensionV.

As per special request from my wife, I rendered this pink D20. 
The render-statistics are provided on the image-detail-page for those who are interested.

Over the last few days, I was playing around with POV-Ray again, and was continuing my work on those polyhedrons again, I started last year. The Icosahedron turned into a full-fledged D20 now, and I am working on a tetrahedron to create a D4. The body (the tetrahedron itself) is already done, and I am working on labelling it with numbers now, which is quite tricky. Take a look at the WIP-Gallery to see the result as of to date.

I simply love fortune. On every Un*xish machine I own, this is one of the must-be-installed programs. It doesn't do much, it simply prints a random text-message from a huge collection of texts onto the screen. But those texts usually are funny...or outright hilarious, like this one: Definitions of hardware and software for dummies:
Hardware is what you kick;
Software is what you curse.

For quite a while now I didn't use PGP, mainly because I was using a web-based e-mail-interface. Though this web-client has a plugin that enables the use of PGP, this plugin has a fatally flawed concept, as it requires the private keys to reside within the web-server's document root. Anyone creative enough could download and thus compromise them. My initial idea was to write a plugin of my own that would work in a much safer way, and I already had a concept ready, but as my time is quite limited, I never actually got around to realize the program.

So true... Bolub's Fourth Law of Computerdom:
Project teams detest weekly progress reporting because it so
vividly manifests their lack of progress.

This is a joke I stumbled upon on Google+ ... Three DBA's walk into a NoSQL-Bar. A little while later they walk out again, because they couldn't find a table. (Source unknown)
