(L) [2008/10/07] [JjBigThoughts] [ Wanted: iPhone partner for daylight & night sky sim app] Wayback!Hi everyone,
  I'm new to this forum, but here's my situation.  I'm looking for a partner/friend/freelancer to possibly build a simple daytime & night sky sim.  I'll take responsibility for integrating it into a iPhone application.
I used to do 3D graphics stuff back in grad school, but life has long since moved me to other corners of the world.  Now I'm producing iPhone apps and am looking for some ideas that would make good apps.  A customer of mine suggested adding a simulator of "what it looks like outside" to my nightstand-companion app

I also think it would make a cool stand-alone app. If you've ever implemented "A Practical Analytic Model for Daylight" then you might be a good fit.  The simplier, the better.
Please let me know if you are interested in working with me on this particular project, or if you could just point me in the right direction.
Also, if you are interested in other small projects, then let me know.
Thanks,
Jim

And registering on this forum, which is sooo not related to iPhone development, for this advertisement is pretty daring. tbp, where are you, my hero?  [SMILEY :mrgreen:]
(L) [2008/10/08] [JjBigThoughts] [ Wanted: iPhone partner for daylight & night sky sim app] Wayback!You linked to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video.  That's not really what I had in mind   [SMILEY :shock:]
I'm sorry you think this is in the wrong place, but where else would I realistically find someone familiar with "A Practical Analytic Model for Daylight."  I tried to post it in the right section where Rhythm & Hues posted their "Hiring" notice.  Oh - well.  I really didn't mean to put you out.
BTW - I'm in Florida.

There is enough material on Preetham's model in the web, btw.

[LINK http://yougotrickrolled.com/]. Welcome to Web 2.0, hehe.  [SMILEY :lol:]
I think you'll be more successful in finding a partner by posting in the "Help Wanted" forums over at [LINK http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/forum.asp?forum_id=8 GameDev.net].
(L) [2008/10/08] [JjBigThoughts] [ Wanted: iPhone partner for daylight & night sky sim app] Wayback!Ok - wow - that's pretty embarrassing.  I just asked my younger colleagues if they've ever heard of the term "Rick Rolled" and I was greeted with a round of laughter [head hangs in embarrassment].  I am officially the oldest guy in the room.
Thanks for the pointer to GameDev.  I've been watching them but thought I would ask here first.  I'll move on over there now.
Regards..
