I've been putting together the CAKE documentation wiki yesterday and today. My process for documenting a class is to copy-paste the whole class in the wiki editor, delete the code, and reformat the comments a bit. Maybe it'd be useful to leave the code visible in the wiki pages, opinions?
Looking at CAKE, the animation stuff needs to be better and the sound system reworked some. And I want a graphical editor with timelines and everything. And a pony.
And maybe a barebones WebGL renderer for it. It'll still get pwned by Firefox's compositing system, but at least it'll get there faster. Maybe?

EU MozCamp 2009
Let's try writing something non-trollish for a change, hm?
So, EU MozCamp 2009. I was there to participate in the HTML5 roundtable (and to show off my new canvas animation demo (~500kB), view source for headache.) It was great visiting Prague and meeting all the web people there, thanks everyone!
Cool stuff: DailyMotion SVG video filters demo, Stratified JavaScript - JavaScript with concurrency primitives, HTML5 location API demos, boat trip on the Vltava. Massive amount of expats present (also massive amount of French.) I think I met people from Bulgaria, Czech, Estonia, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, UK and US...
I have also managed to plow through around fifteen pages of my newly-bought sketchbook, mostly at the airport and in the plane. Clouds be fabulous from above.
Catching my flight home in a couple of hours, feeling pretty tired. I'll add some links to this post on reaching home.
[edit] Added links.

Mobile internet speed beats ADSL
Upstream-wise, that is. The Nokia CS-15 HSUPA wireless Internet USB stick has a maximum 10.2 Mbps downstream bandwidth and a 5.76 Mbps upstream bandwidth. You need fiber to beat that upstream, at least here in Finland.
And a Huawei stick doubles the downstream to 21 Mbps. If the latency is low enough and the network infra can take the load, that'd totally kill ADSL.

The final solution to piracy
Ditched the sediment & river books from my reading queue, as the library wanted them back. Replaced them with two writing course -related book-like objects about simulated annealing, in addition to An Introduction to the World's Oceans (hey, 71% of the planetary area can't be wrong, right?) and Climatology - An Atmospheric Science (ooh, a pretty painting on the cover.) Both being introductory textbooks to their subjects.
The oceanography book gets extra points for the oceanography department probably having coated their whole library in tar, supposedly to protect it from the vagaries of the high seas. As a result, there's a smell to the book. There were also a few books from late 1800s and early-to-mid 1900s in the oceanography shelf, which I briefly looked at before putting them back to the shelf, carefully. If something survives a hundred years of students, it must be lucky!
I'm reading these non-CS related textbooks because CS gives me a headache and a neckache and a backache and they're actually interesting. Plus maybe I'll be able to use the knowledge gleaned as a way to slither my way into an outdoors IT job... Oh wait, the plan was to totally spruce up my drawing skills (a couple hours of daily practice actually works, whuda thot) and get an art/graphics job. Well, at least they have lots of pictures to draw.
Maybe a couple hours of daily practice would work for Swedish grammar as well. There's a thought.
