A tree cutting tool. Take photos of the tree from 6 different angles, feed into a 3D model generator, erode the model and generate a 3D graph representation of the tree. The tool suggests which cuts to make and where, given a restricted fall path (e.g. constrained by a neighbors yard on one side). I create the fallen branches in their final state along the fall plane, and create individual correction vectors mapping…

i work in forestry software and am curious about your methods. is any of this open source? any intention on supporting growth modeling?

I'm preparing my t-shirt store for launch soon.

I was having trouble meeting people after moving to a new city so I designed and printed some goofy funny t-shirts for my wardrobe, and that has really helped on getting the ball rolling on conversations.

Hoping to make the launch within the next few weeks.

Creating a modern development environment for win98. Currently I’m working on a git client. I have no patience for learning C. So backporting git is not an option. I also don’t want to use cygwin. So I’m using a server to expose git as http endpoints and coding a git client in php to use in msdos. I have Vim 7.3 and and gnu coreutils working in msdos already. So soon I will have a very nice dev environment. I want to…

For Git, you may be interested in JGit, which runs on the JVM. From some MSFN forum posts, it seems to be possible to run Hotspot JRE 8 on Windows 98.

I know its been done before but im building/tinkering on a window manager for windows called "Doors". https://github.com/A-Waters/doors

Ive got a MVP right now, but i'm reworking the region build system and potentially reworking the underlying designing to follow a more tree based approach for managing the windows

I've just tried other windows managers on windows and felt that have either been slow or buggy and wanted something that looks nice. My inspiration is based on Hyperland, as im currently dual booting and when I work on windows, all i want is a nice window manager.

still very early in development but im excited for its potential.

This also goes in line with my current studying of the windows OS, so its a bit of learning and then working. :)

I plan for a time-bomb license (closed source for 10 years, make my money (if any), GPLv3 after that).

My methods are all over the place. Tree is taken as-is on the day, and cuts calculated on the fly, no future growth-modelling if that is what you're asking
