Armchair Shopping

So I needed some more t-shirts for the summer. In order to take advantage of my Geek Points over at Thinkgeek, I ordered three different shirts. The first of which bears a label to indicate that I am a “generic humanoid carbon unit“. The second shirt expresses the fact that others should be (greatful | [ READ MORE ]

When a Newbie Crashes the Software…

Ok. So I’m learning Lisp and writing some test functions which I then play around with a bit. I’m doing this in Emacs with SLIME and CMUCL as the Lisp interpretter. I’m writing some basic functions and stuff to demonstrate to my profs that I’m progressing. As I’m working, CMUCL goes into GC and doesn’t [ READ MORE ]

Success Followed By New Bookery

Today was an exciting day. First, I gave my 22 page lab on Logo this afternoon and it went over very well. I am still feeling very proud of myself and hope that my students got as much out of it as I did. Then, I went out for teriyaki and BN browsing with the [ READ MORE ]

Logo For Wizards

After a week vacation, I have returned to school in order to get back to work. One of the more interesting things that I’ll be doing is working with one of the programs to teach the Logo programming language using MIT’s StarLogo package. One of the main reasons I am excited about this is that [ READ MORE ]

Autopackage Takes A Beating

As pointed out by my friend grifferz, it seems that Autopackage has been taking a beating on Planet Debian recently. I sort of like Autopackage as an application but I often have trouble with some of their attitudes. I agree wholehartedly with what Jeff Licquia, Eric Schubert and Daniel Stone have to say on the [ READ MORE ]

LugRadio Bingo

Inspired by the LugRadio Drinking Game, I have taken the liberty of creating a Python CGI app to render bingo boards for LugRadio. Bascially, you go to this page and print out a board. Everytime a word on your board is mentioned, you mark it off. First person to get five in a consecutive row [ READ MORE ]

Pre-Shabbos Code Dump

Ok so this code actually works. I’ve created a Python module to represent and then generate Dublin Core compliant metadata. You can get the HTML source, the pydoc generated documentation and the epydoc generated documentation. You can also grab the plain Python source and of course (drum roll) the metadata for the source[ READ MORE ]

Gnutella In Python

I have been inspired to write some Python code to speak gnutella. Stop laughing. I am basing my work on the annotated 0.4 spec over at rfc-gnutella, and the Standard Message Architecture on the-gdf wiki. Although some work has been done by Tom Goulet, I want to write some stuff myself to enable applications to [ READ MORE ]

Ubuntu Security Notice Monitor theme for Superkaramba

In conjunction with my fantastic Czech designer Ricardo, I have created a Superkaramba theme that will display the 10 latest Ubuntu Security Notice report titles in a widget on your desktop. I think it’s rather cool. Grab a copy at kde-look.org[ READ MORE ]

More Superkaramba and Seti@Home at TESC

In coding and doing other assorted tasks, I have updated my kernel version monitor theme for Superkaramba. It now parses the kernel.org RSS feed instead of the kernel.org finger banner using the Orchard Data Manipulation Framework. It’s up to v.0.4 and has several enhancements over the original release mentioned such as being completely Python powered [ READ MORE ]
