Conservative Judaism on Wikipedia

Now don’t get me wrong I love Wikipedia. I appreciate the breadth and general freedom of the whole project and the ease with which people can contribute and collaborate. That being said, I am very displeased with the progress of the articles in the Conservative Judaism series. I’ve been tagging and editing things like mad [ READ MORE ]

Randomtest

My project for the remainder of my program is to continue my work testing PRNG schemes. My one minute intro poster can be found here. Additionally, feel free to browse our code repo which should look something like spaghetti. We’re in the process of cleaning up the code base and also porting out statistics and [ READ MORE ]

Feet!

So my friend sprained his foot one night last week. We spent five and half hours in a local ER. In any case, his uncle is a podiatrist and when we sent him a photo of the injured foot, he was cool enough to edit the photo and return it to us. Anatomy lesson anyone? [ READ MORE ]

Interesting Explorations Into FS Wonkitude

In taking a closer look at the wonky world of filesystems, I found some pretty crazy stuff. One thing that I have been looking at for awhile has been ZFS which could help us in the lab with our quest for NAS. I asked my buddy Herschel for some tips on it and he pointed [ READ MORE ]

Back From Camp

Back from camp. It was an absolutely wonderful summer. I’ve been back for a week and have been enjoying the chance to unpack and sleep (On the subject of sleep, I’m suffering from a bit of the phase shift). In more recent news, my father was kind enough to let me use his old desktop [ READ MORE ]

Thinking About Lectures

In thinking about the Digital Government lecture series, I figure I need to get my thoughts together about the last two talks. The one two weeks ago was given by three major players in the WA state IT arena. I thought that the format was a little bit iffy given the ease with which the [ READ MORE ]

OSLab In Photos

In moving into the Evergreen Advanced Operating Systems Laboratory, I have decided to take a few photos. Peruse them here. Check out our clusters (we have 4 of them) and our workstation setup. I’ll be taking out the workstations and setting up terminal services using LTSP (for netbooting in the lab) and FreeNX (maybe if [ READ MORE ]

When A Good Lecture Doesn’t Do It

In getting ready for the Digital Government lecture of tomorrow, I have begun to reflect on the lecture of last week. Overall, I think I liked the lecture. I imagine that this is largely because the speaker had her act together with some very nice slides and a well thought-out list of points to be [ READ MORE ]

Reflections On The Alphabet

So right before I left for home (because of Pesakh) I sat through a lecture by Daniel Headrick on the obsolescence of the alphabet as an ordering mechanism. I think he is wrong. The first part of his lecture left my eyes closing given his apparent need to make references to the histories of french, [ READ MORE ]
