• Biting the bullet and installing R on fgmdev. Installed, and working on getting all the packages in.
• Installed the folllowing
• install.packages(“Rserve”)
• apt-get install r-cran-car then library(car)
• install.packages(“vcd”)
• apt-get install r-cran-gplots then library(gplots)
• install.packages(“pwr”)
• had to re-run library(gplots) so that plotmeans was visible correctly
• After installing all the packages, I bounced Rserve, and then remembered that I had to bounce tomcat. Which took a *while* to restart.
• everything appears to be running correctly 🙂

• Came upon an interesting thing: http://rapache.net/ it’s a pretty slick VISIBILITY-ish looking thing. Need to spend some time figuring out how it works. Not all that clear yet.
• OK, back to shaders and such.
• And I just got why rendering the entire scene to a framebuffer that you then process is important. It’s because you can post process the texture (i.e. the entire scene) to get blur, bloom, and other effects. Cool. Well, I know what I’m doing tomorrow.
