The second after you make a terrible mistake. The second when you realise what you just did and that there’s nothing you can do about it, the second when all the now-inevitable consequences flash through your mind. It is the second after you send a text message to the wrong person, after you delete the wrong file, after you spill the secret that you thought they already knew. The 'onosecond' is that stomach-dropping, breath-stopping moment when all you can do is say 'oh, no'.

The Onominute (or 60 onoseconds) is a collection of my documentation and notes for learning various scientific topics. The name itself refers to the average number of times I realized my mistakes while learning a new topic, in a single sitting.

2D Gaussian Shader in Unity
During the very early stages of my thesis project, I was working on having the individual particles data visualised in Unity with IATK. Having the points show up is trivial, but having them rendered in a way that is visually meaningful is a bit more complicated. Eventually, I would have the particles being rendered as a continuos surface with the proper SPH kernel but just to get started, my supervisor suggested we implement a simple Gaussian alpha shader to each particle using its own smoothing length `h`.

The Elegant Mathematical Basis of Ray tracing - What Makes 3D Graphics Realistic
This is an essay I submitted for a collection of texts about promoting the beauty of mathematics to the masses at Monash. It goes into the mathematics of one of the most important concepts in computer graphics, but at a very fundamental level. The reader should be able to follow this text with high-school level maths.
