"Design"

My strongest influences currently are Gwern and Alice Maz, using the footnotes idea from daring fireball ^(ia) through Karl Winegardner^(ia)¹.

Considering Gwern's own "about this site" writtings on page archiving, I've also added internet archive links for the links referenced, and if inline marked with ^(ia). I am also using the idea of adding a "created" and "modified" timestamps on top of the page, to help me remember when I started.

Most html is handwritten, as are the svg figures. I'll also add some interactivity through javascript, as in the index.html page. That was born the day I realised that I should probably have a business card, and got thinking about what could I do to make it somewhat useful. So my web geological compass was born. A crazier version is hosted on surge, Digikom.

Write-up on that someday?

I'm using mathjax to render math in general using LaTeX notation. There is a really small subset of my directional data analysis library reimplemented in javascript, autti.js. For now it doesn't really provide that much functionality, mostly implement a simple directional vector class.

Next idea for that is using it for a small page on directional data handling, with some interactive "calculators".

On that note, Movable Type Ltd ^(ia) is a strong inspiration on trying to build useful javascript pages. They have really nice explanations and scripts for working with geographical data.

Tracking

This website is a static github page. I'm not tracking anything, and don't intend on ever doing that. Using github issues as a comment system seems a reasonable method to allow feedback, though you can just email me at gmail, as endarthur. Or tweet.

writting

practical desurvey — a small study on how to perform desurvey on drillhole data. Still lacking the interactive stuff in js.
VR on a model following a path — a js generator for a basic a-frame guided tour.

In development

General

os.html — someday to be a page to plot directional data. Missing a lot, but can plot multiple planar datasets, so not completely useless?
attitude — what I said above, a partial js reimplementation of auttitude, allowing simple svg stereoplots.

Necromancy or Raising the Soul of a (once) New Machine

CHIP-8 — A CHIP-8 emulator in javascript. Getting my feet wet for emulation on a browser.

Interpol — some interpolation² methods

Inverse Distance Weighting — i.e. have to start somewhere. An easy to implement method that gives some nice results.

^{1. They are really nice and easy to use! ↩} ^{2. Some of these will be estimators, really. I'll write the distinction
here when I get to understand it well enough to explain.↩}
