used to have a problem with ground squirrels around my house. Son got an Aussie Cattle dog a few years ago. Haven't seen a ground squirrel or rabbit or pretty much anything that goes about on the ground for the last few years. Thankfully he does not bring them in as gifts. Herself would probably have histrionics if that happened.

Oh, he catches those - normally alive - and brings 'em in. I try to get them separated and release them a good distance away but that doesn't always work ...
They do however make weird noises, moles. A bit like a very angry kettle with a whistle built in.
But shipping cats doesn't really work: I think Schrödinger put the whole species off the idea.

In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

My truetype rendering engine is sort of working.
Dumping to console as ASCII for now for testing
If I drank I'd crack a beer right now. This is amazing.

Can you generate a jsc42 for my signature block please? I assume that your testing with '42' is the same as why my sig ends with '42'. The ultimate answer?

Yes 42 comes from Douglas Adams.
I said works "sort of" because of this - I need to actually alpha blend the BMPs for each letter because they're overlapping and wiping each other out with certain letters. Watch:

It's going to take me a bit. I've got a lot to do before I tackle that rendering issue. I have to retool the loading code to work in a constrained memory environment, and since it changes the footprint of it, I have to then change the rendering code to work with it, after which I can fix the rendering issues. It might be a week or even two. This code is hairy.

Not just rendering but kerning the letters as well?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I actually seem to be kerning properly. That's what's causing the bitmap overlap problem.

The most important thing about agile, is to says that you use it during job interview!

|

|

I guess they noticed that was happening almost everywhere... so they decided to give it a catchy name.

Nah, that has too much process to be agile. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Welcome to Agile Club. The first rule of Agile Club is: you do not talk about Agile Club.
The second rule of Agile Club is: you DO NOT talk about Agile Club!
Third rule of Agile Club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the sprint is over.
Fourth rule: only two guys to an sprint.
Fifth rule: one sprint at a time, fellas.
Sixth rule: the sprints are bare knuckle. No shirt, no shoes, no weapons.
Seventh rule: sprints will go on as long as they have to.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Agile Club, you have to sprint.
