Safe Software

Second daughter born, Slashgeo in 'Slow News Mode'

Yesterday morning, a new 3D object panned into my field of view. Zooming to this 3D object with an hyperspectral sensor produces an array of +32,767 beautiful colors that saturate histograms and confuse most software. However, this 3D object is not fully compliant with perfection, it regularly generates memory leaks that creates unexpected brown and yellow layers. Processing the 3D object requires two multitasking CPUs (central parenting union) which need to REST regularly. The 3D object also needs to be frequently joined with a parent 3D object which has the corresponding primary key. This parent 3D object requires a predetermined front-facing topography with special attributes in order to fluidly extract, transfer and load vital content to the child 3D object. If the joining process fails, an audible error message is triggered and your location privacy will be difficult to control: your location will be loudly projected at a 20m buffer around you. Hopefully, this new 3D object respects most OGC (organic genuine compound) standards. You can also easily interact with the 3D object using a touch interface. Once you wake it from sleep, it automatically animates in infinite loops until the battery runs out. While this 3D object comes from a proprietary source, its creators are confident it will become more and more open and will probably, after about 20 years of active development, want to become more and more interoperable and will ultimately intersect with a 3D object of the opposite geometry type. That's how wonderful our spatial lives are.

In other words, my wife gave birth to our second daughter. It happened yesterday morning at home and everybody is in superb shape. For Slashgeo, it means we'll be in "slow news mode" for the next few weeks. Rest reassured, you will not miss a single important geonews, you might just get them a little late and get more of them in batches instead of individual stories. Meanwhile, you can always contribute by sharing pertinent geonews with the rest of the community (about 10,000 unique "3D objects" use Slashgeo every week ;-). Other Slashgeo editors will help take care of your submissions. Geonews aggregation will be resuming at full speed pretty soon, thanks for bearing with us. Cheers - Alex, aka Satri

Best birth announcement ever.  Except perhaps for the star of Bethlehem thing, that was pretty good too.

Congrats dear Alex, and best wishes to you and the rest of the family.

Congrats, but never underestimate the chaos you are about to get into. When my second was born five years ago i thought I
d have time but after a few  months of spilt craüp on my keyboard you can see how the blog I ran petered out...
