Light and Colour
A moderately boring MSDN presentation last night. The presenter, Andrew Coat, knew his stuff, perhaps a little well because he delved a bit further into Office automation and Sharepoint than I'd really like. Ran into my old supervisor Steve, who has been having a holiday for nine months. He's given up skydiving and has been a kept man. But he's getting back into the workforce after spending his time doing renovations.
Anyway, the presenter wanted to spice up his autogenerated report and drug in the "Northwind Traders" logo, which is a lighthouse. This got me thinking of the picture that Kerri would like me to paint for her - a lighthouse standing a warning to traffic, in imitation of her job in "the drug police". Experimented with a couple of concepts during the more tedious portions of the presentation - I could do something Feiningerish in semi-abstract, breaking up the sky into planes of colour split by the beam of the lighthouse catching the sail of a yacht on a fractal sea. Have to experiment with this.
A fine clear blue day in Canberra. Cold - a frost this morning and when I hit the windscreen washer to wipe the grime from the windscreen in the rising sun, nothing happened because the water had froze in the tubes.
