Before you learn to punch...

...you have to learn how to fall. At least that's my old Aikido sensei taught me. It's actually pretty defeatist logic, when you think about it. Sure, it makes sense on the old tatami, but if you assume you're going down in a fight - you've probably already lost.

Well, in my recent dealings with C++ ... I recall how wise the words really are. In my expirements with procedural texturing I just got a single pixel to not turn the color I want, but instead a very ugly shade of grey.

And I consider that an overwhelming success for the evening.
