Hey Aaron – you are perfectly right. It’s amazing how many typos one can add transcribing math

I think there’s a mistake: rotation.y=asin( matrix._13 ) I think should be rotation.y=asin( -matrix._13 )

Thanks for this app. I've notice in some case it could modified the sound alert and "put a mess" in the the Universal Access in System Preferences (I'm under 10.4.11).

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Congrats Rachel!

I found your site via Merlin Mann's link to your iCalFix (Thank yoouuuu!) but this particular post was very moving. This is not a small decision to make, but it's gotta be one of the toughest. I wish you all the best in this new phase of your life!

I just found this out from a LinkedIn status update, of all places.

I'm happy for you and I hope the future brings you nothing but good things.

Assuming the description of how to apply the scaling is correct, then I think there's an error in your code: rotation.x = atan2( matrix._23scale.x, matrix._33 ); rotation.z = atan2( matrix._12scale.y, matrix._11 );

should really read as follows: rotation.x = atan2( matrix._23scale.z, matrix._33 ); rotation.z = atan2( matrix._12scale.x, matrix._11 );

... since you said you want to divide matrix._11 by scale.x and matrix._33 by scale.z

So that’s why things have been so quiet around here!?

Needless to say, bravo on finding happiness and peace and that’s awesome to hear that you had a lot of amazing people cheering you and supporting you through the process.

I’ll definitely be looking forward to your future posts Rachel, and it’s good to have you back.

Those are indeed interesting ideas – but currently, there is no time in my day to work on iCalFix in any way, shape, or form. So I’ll actually be open sourcing it fairly soon. (Some minor cleanups in the code base, then I should be good)
