PS3’s hard to find
I just wanted to buy a 120GB Playstation 3 but apparently everyone around here is sold out of them. I figured the console has been out for a few years and the 120GB version came out in I think September, so I didn’t even consider that they would be hard to come by. [...]
convenient file searching with Ruby, grep, and file
For my Linux kernel class, I often know that some struct exists somewhere, or remember seeing a macro defined in some file and it might be useful, but I can't remember where I saw something. I also end up trying to track down all the places a particular function is called, and don't want [...]
representing rational numbers in Smalltalk
For my graduate-level programming languages class, I wrote this class that represents a rational number in Smalltalk. I figured I would share my source code with the interwebs for anyone else trying to learn the language. I release the code under the GNU General Public License v3.
Note for students: my professor requested [...]
the pain of Facebook application development
For the past few days, I’ve been trying to create a Facebook application for interacting with Github. I hoped to spend my time mainly on the Github portion, figuring out how to post wall posts on Facebook about recent Github activity, etc. However, I’ve instead argued with the various Facebook APIs. I [...]

two new programming projects
I’ve gone on a programming project binge today, coding first in C# on a project to add an enforceable Implements attribute to class members, then in PHP to write a Github application for Facebook. I’m interested in co-developing the Facebook app, too, and have emailed a few of my programmer friends at UK to [...]
TurboTax fail
I received in the mail the other day a TurboTax install CD with an offer for free filing of federal and state tax returns. Neat, I thought, and I was initially under the impression that they were giving me TurboTax for free. Nope, turns out I still have to pay $60 for it, [...]

heap sort in ML
This past semester for my programming languages class, we had to implement heap sort in Standard ML. This is my implementation, which I release under the GNU General Public License v3. I split the code into two separate files: shared.ml and heap_sort.ml, where shared.ml contains functions that might be of use with [...]
inflexible Adobe
Wow, Adobe doesn’t make things convenient for you. I just called about their $199 offer for Photoshop CS4 for students, hoping that I could use it on my Mac or in Windows and perhaps be restricted to using only one at a time, but no. I can download it for Mac or Windows, [...]
Sims 3 World Adventures arrived
Whoo, The Sims 3: World Adventures arrived today! I had preordered it on EA’s site but was dubious about it 1) arriving the day it was released (i.e. today) and 2) actually being left on my doorstep/mailbox versus being stashed in some package center for me to go and pick up with my [...]
