In this episode of the podcast I once again go for a walk in the bush, and this time talk about the change in direction that the Nuance Engine has taken, as well as about the very first Greythumb Netherlands get-together.

Here's a picture of WORM, where Greythumb NL was held in June:

..and here is the duck (a WORM-sponsored work of art, for you cultural barbarians!)

I've decided to change the name of the project to Blind Watchmaker because I no longer like the association "engine", and it's one of the most thought-provoking archetype memes that Dawkins introduced with his book of that name.

I'll save going into the actual Blind Watchmaker code until I've got it stable enough. It's going to be a neat system, which lets you submit instruction sets and takes it from there.

This is the first crack at creating a mini-universe in which the Blind Watchmaker system will be demonstrated. The little balls you see represent creatures that move around on the surface of the planet. Listen to the podcast to hear about how I plan to try and turn this into a Blind Watchmaker programming competition.
