Status: I wanted to say I did something productive today, so for the last 6 minutes of it I stapled my ugly mug on this Passport application and am hoping they're feeling nice...
Sigh. Should I go with the one that looks like I'm scowling (because I was out in the sun) or where I'm overcompensating for my Japanese-genes?
This form is completely non-conducive to being tri-folded into a standard envelope. I greatly dislike whoever thought that the less-flexible photo should be stapled right in the middle of where a 1/3 fold line should be.
Oh well, what's done is mostly kinda done. Time to procrastinate...

Status: So MigraDoc failed me. We have telerik, so I started converting over to their pdf flow document api. Different images fail now. One of these libraries we're using says it can convert from svg to pdf, so I'm learning svg now to lay out my form and replace things. I feel like my mind is melting.
SVG seemed pretty simple to understand when I needed to output some graphs and stuff.
Wait, you're saying you want to lay out forms with it? That... might be hard.

MFD over. Slight ows in various parts of body. I guess major ows will be tomorrow. Not as ow as I thought, maybe because the ski slope was not very long and not very steep. Now at office killing time while waiting for next bus home.

Stapling a photo is , if having to affix it to the form at all isn't enough already

IIRC the SVG format allows embedding Base-64-encoded images in other formats.

@Gąska indeed, which is why if it does indeed become a pdf correctly, it will solve my problems instantly, because that's the most important feature at the moment.

You can do something really , like rasterize the other image, and emit a <rect> for each pixel. Bonus points for implementing RLE.

@Magus and I got it to output. If this works on Android, this will actually be a good solution. Weird.

There's some "get rect" joke to be made here but I can't think of a good one

@Magus okay, so, svg doesn't have text wrapping. Yet. The spec for the version that will came out two days ago.

@Magus ultimately this is fine. I can lay this out better in svg than I ever could with all these fancy libraries. And they really aren't all that dynamic.

Yeah. As much as "my trade in" was "worth", then still got just as much back (more even) because I got tired.

if we're going for evil.....
RECTs do not have to be in column major order.
emit them in a random order.
Or for more fun. emit rects for each pixel color, starting at #000000 and moving increment by increment to #FFFFFF, emit rects covering every pixel that is not supposed to be one of the previous pixel colors laid down. i call it the "Wet on Wet Pixel Painting Technique, Anti-Bob Ross Edition"

Status: just got home from the swimming pool, pretty hungry. Toasted some bread and then realized my memory of still having some sausage slices or other toppings in the fridge was mistaken. I got some Canadian maple butter and... is 6 year old jelly still edible if it was sealed?
If this is my last post, the answer is “No.” Stay tuned.

Well, it still tasted absolutely delicious (neighbor’s self-made plum jelly). But any ill effects might happen quite some time after the consuming part.

Status: My request for funds for Physics stuff was granted in full. Which means that I can spend 18,000€ in addition to my normal budget of 2,000€.
I'm planning on buying a Mach-Zehnder-Interferometer as well as an electron diffraction tube, among other assorted stuff I was missing. Christmas has come early!The only snag is that, since the cost is above 500€, I nominally have to get quotes from three different vendors. Which is a bit ... problematic because we only have two vendors in Germany for the stuff I need. Their equipment is also not-quite compatible. For example, their magnetic coils have different diameters and heights which becomes a problem when you have a demonstration transformer which looks like this:
And since most of what we have (about 95%) is from one of those two vendors, I really don't want to have to buy from the other. Not that they're more expensive or that their stuff is worse - on that count, both are roughly on par - but the new equipment would simply enable additional experiments besides the ones they're nominally designed to. My boss is currently looking into how we can deal with that issue.
Also: We got our "allotment of advancement positions" yesterday. For those who don't know what that is: German schools have different levels of teachers - there's the rank and file teacher (for our school, we simply call them A13 because the level is tied to your earnings) Above them is the A14 teacher (said advancement position) which is obtained by teachers who are fulfilling important additional tasks but are not part of the leadership. For example, managing the substitute lessons would be an A14 task.
And above those are A15 and A16 - A15 would be positions like department manager or vice principal, A16 is a full principal. The latter is also the highest position you can attain and still be a teacher - everything after that would see you move into, say, the state's school agency.Anyway, what you also need to know about that is that the number of A14 positions at one school is determined the school agency. We originally thought we'd get four this year but it turns out that we only get one.
"Mine" is the one my principal decided it to be - formally we need to do a tender but with A14 positions it's usually written in a way that everyone in a school knows who's supposed to bid for it (though it's not always a singular person!) So you usually only need to "fear" about bids from outside as it is - it's not a guarantee! (Really, it isn't.)
A15 and A16 are completely different, though - there it's really a free-for-all and may the best applicant win.

I dare say that with high-sugar stuff like that either you'll easily see that it's gone bad or you'll taste and smell it immediately.

I think the Playmates toy, designed for children, might actually be larger. It's tough to tell because actual physical dimensions for any version have so far proven elusive.

Mostly for having a schedule so fluidic it might become gas at some point, and not feeling healthy enough to have good expectations of said fluidity elsewhere.
