The more I ponder and compare different space-filling curves, the less sure I am that working on them is worth anything outside of the sake of working on them. Like, they render cool pictures, but every attempt I've made to evaluate objective functions for image processing quality has managed to find at least one image where my subjective opinions about what look good have nothing to do with the parameter values that maximize the objective function, so, like, why would I trust these functions to say anything about the relative quality of different Riemersma dithering implementations?

With all of that said, I need to really step away from this stuff for a while, and focus on generating images from HTML and SVG or whatever.

I don't have anything else I want to talk about right now, so I'm going to wrap things up.

Good night.
