JBQ's spot on the Wild Wild Web. The musings of a French mathematician living in the heart of the American technology industry. Back with no vengeance. The last few years have been very busy for me.

To some extent, my professional life has taken over my personal life. I have become a guy who lives at work. For 2 1/2 years. I'm not the kind of person who likes to sit idle.

JBQ's spot on the Wild Wild Web. The musings of a French mathematician living in the heart of the American technology industry. Building polyhedra with Magnetix, part 1. System allows to build the skeletons of quite a few polyhedra using nothing more than the two most basic components of the system: balls and bars. Like Zome in which the angles are constrained to pre-defined values. Essentially builds triangles "inside" the polyhedron so that the outer shell can be built with non-triangular faces). T...

Reading the manual first was a mistake. As an examp...
