Currently working on a collection of pottery to sell in a new gallery. Cups, bowls, general tableware all in the kiln currently, hopefully no unexpected catastrophe awaits! I’ve also got a wordless comic that is nearly complete that I need

Hi from the eastern half of the US! I too am working my way deeper into visual arts. I’m excited to go see the Edward Hopper exhibit at the Whitney in NYC soon. His ability to light imaginary scenes is very impressive, I hope to learn a lot

I don’t know how painless it actually is, but putting an animal to sleep is a quick and dignified death compared to what I have seen happen to most people. If I could choose I’d like to have something similar happen to me some day. You go i

Some bad habits from Java are the only reason. I thought about having obrelease and obgetCString. Putting ob at the beginning of every function seems like overkill, and I don't like that only some functions had would have ob at the beg

Sadly some form of OBString is a necessity, any string object needs a reference count and some function pointers packaged in the struct to work. Converting OBString to have the same interface as standard string handling functions is a good

Shoot, if I had known someone was going to do this I would have made the prime number program a bit more efficient. Since it looks like you've ported the algorithm exactly it shouldn't affect the result though. Let me know what th
