| − | I participated in [[#GSoC 2011 Project|GSoC 2011 with BRL-CAD]], under Cliff, my official mentor. I have 5 years of experience designing [https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_dWpWLr1esGb16X7_4DlNHMyrgI048JfNwPx7Dl9cn0?feat=directlink commercial plumbing systems in 3d], using AutoCAD.

I have experience in C/C++, and Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk. For 3 years I was a system administrator for a Linux/Windows based small business network.

A sample of my work is available. My experience is minimal with C/C++, Java, and Python, but I have coded dozens of VBA programs for several companies I have worked for. I was a Linux systems administrator for a small business network, as well, for about 3 years. |

| − | == GSoC 2011 Project == | + | == Interest -> BRL-CAD == |
| − | See the [[User:Bhinesley/gsoc2011|log and timeline]] or the [http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/bhinesley/1000 official GSoC project summary] for details. I migrated MGED commands to Archer/libged, and cleaned up existing commands. Later in the program, my focus shifted towards adding new capabilities to the libged oed commands, rather than simply migrating them.
| + | I have been interested in contributing to an open source project for quite a while. I love coding, and I love 3d modeling, so it could not get much better than BRL-CAD. Everyone that I have talked with so far has been easy to communicate with, and very helpful. I appreciate that. I will stick around as long as I feel useful. |

| − | == Misc ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Edit command, TODO ===
| |
| − | # Getting help for the edit subcommands is confusing. ex: 'help translate' doesn't work, since translate is really just a subcommand of edit. The current workaround is to use 'edit help translate' or 'translate help'.
| |
| − | # It is not possible to use the batch operator '.' as a particular coordinate, i.e. 'translate -k -y . -a cube.s sph1.s sph2.s sph3.s' will not work. It would increase orthogonality if this were supported, although it's not strictly necessary. A workaround for the aforementioned example is 'translate -k . -a -y cube.s sph1.s sph2.s sph3.s'. It would take some doing to get this working, but it could be viewed as an opportunity to refactor some poor design decisions along the way.
| |
| − | # All testing has been done by hand. There are so many possible combinations of options/args, surely some have been overlooked.
| |
| − | # Cleanup logic per TODO/FIXME's in edit.c. Minor impact.
| |
| − | # The basic commands rotate and scale are not yet implemented
| |
| − | # Other subcommands could be written, for example:
| |
| − | #* '''swap''' - switch one object out with another
| |
| − | #* '''align''' - line several objects up with points on one or two axes (besides an intuitive name, it's not clear if this would be any better than using translate to perform this task, for ex: 'translate -k . -a -y cube.s sph1.s sph2.s sph3.s' moves sph[1-3].s to the same y-coordinate as cube.s, without changing x/z positions.)
| |
| − | #* other ideas?
