blodgett heartily approve of this writing, mainly for sheer quantity of vitriol sprayed in all the directions.

EDIT: also if actually watch the windows organic grassroot natural films, this may help restore sanity:

first foray

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

at suggestion of friend nick, blodgett have generated a gif of its skyboat pictures that will probably not make sense unless comments are heeded
(http://blodgett.doof.me.uk/2009/10/20/sky-boat/#comments).

is here…
http://blodgett.doof.me.uk/real/skyboat.gif

blodgett used imagemagick. was very simple:
convert -delay 250 -size 1089×569 -page +0+0 skyboat.png -page +0+0 christmasskyboat.png -loop 0 skyboat.gif

which means:
convert images into gif, display each for 2.5 seconds, gif size will be 1089×569, images to use are first skyboat then christmasskyboat, each drawn at zero horizontal and vertical offset, loop forever, write output to a file ‘skyboat.gif’.

ta da! :)

Insects I: the Fliangle

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The Fliangle is a curious insect with no feet. Coloured a distinctive green, supposedly for camouflage purposes, it is nevertheless rather striking. Its unusual geometric shape appears to have few aerodynamic advantages and almost certainly contributes to the Fliangle’s difficulty in taking off. However, the tough, edged carapace makes it an unappetising snack, except to those predators partial to armadillos.

The Fliangle itself eats pollen. It is a creature of decidedly below average intellect. This may be why it hasn’t figured out that reducing your food supply’s ability to propagate is a Bad Idea. It is also the reason why the Fliangle captured below is about to attempt a landing on a flower that cannot possibly support it. The Filangle’s continued survival is a mystery, but scientists theorise that other insects keep it around for the comedy value.
