The only way to implement the future is to avoid having to predict it. -- Piumarta
Fighting entropy one day at a time... Scarlet - Ruby slideshow tool
There’s a bunch of minimalistic technical slide tools out there. I’m using Scarlet, so far I like it — simple Textile markup and it uses Pygments for code syntax coloring. I’m using ERB to generate the textile markup, which allows me to generate some slides programatically. Scarlet – http://github.com/jcxplorer/scarlet Nokia N900: a huge (initial) disappointment, not a smart phone, it's a computer
UPDATE: I ended up returning the N900. I thought I would give it a try as just a super-portable computer, but the media player would skip and often stop when using A2DP headphones. I hope some of these issues get resolved — I will certainly reconsider this device in the future, if it could replace a phone. The Baltimores - Plastico del Mundo
Album released on iTunes. I hate iTunes, but now people can get this album.

Can’t wait! 100 miles of bike-meets-gravel goodness. New documentation for TM (Tredmill) Allocator
I’m planning a new release of TM v.04, originally outlined here: http://kurtstephens.com/research/tredmill New documentation is located at: http://kurtstephens.com/pub/tredmill/current/doc/html/index.html Code to follow shortly. Weak Data Structure Survey
Interesting paper on weak data structures and implementations: http://www.haible.de/bruno/papers/cs/weak/WeakDatastructures-writeup.htm... See also: The Rape of Europa
Just finished watching one of the most gut-wrenching documentaries I’ve ever seen: It’s the story of how the world’s greatest art and cultural objects were systematically and haphazardly stolen and hidden from the victims of World War II and destroyed by greed, viciousness and sheer ignorance, and how men and women dedicated their lives to returning and restoring them to the public. A sweeping survey of the highs and lows of human activity — the incongruity of the beauty of high-art and the horror of war. Naming of Spirit and Opportunity
An inspired essay by a young student named the “Spirit” and “Opportunity” Mars Rovers. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Exploration_Rover#Naming_of_Spirit_and... Naming of Spirit and Opportunity The Spirit and Opportunity rovers were named through a student essay competition. The winning entry was by Sofi Collis, a third-grade Russian-American student from Arizona. I used to live in an orphanage. It was dark and cold and lonely. At night, I looked up at the sparkly sky and felt better. I dreamed I could fly there. In America, I can make all my dreams come true. Thank you for the ‘Spirit’ and the ‘Opportunity.’ |
