Yeah, I know I haven't been updating the blog quite as often as I normally do, but this week has been the boot in my ass that just keeps kicking. Work has been hellish, as I've been trying to implement a feature into our new rendering engine -- the code I wrote works great, it turns out that a lot of the code that generates the data my code uses is wrong and needs to be fixed, and a lot of the routines my code calls are also wrong. I've been scrambling to get everything fixed up so we can release a new version, which we were supposed to do last week.
