In August I wrapped up my work towards a PhD with a MS. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work; a PhD is definitely something you may want to consider pursuing full-time rather than in-addition to an already full-time job :).

MATLAB and Java
A few months ago I did a little simulation in Java and configured it and analyzed the data via MATLAB. It was really fun! It “just worked” and did so really well. Not much more to share than that, but definitely worth sharing.
How Mathematicians Eat Corn
Those who favor analysis eat in a spiral.
Those who favor algebra eat row-wise.
More data is required for the remaining styles.

Connecting With People
Four trips. In my life I’ve been lucky enough to have four great trips. Three around the U.S.A. and one around all of Europe. At the time I thought the whole point was to see things. Well, you see things, and maybe you feel good about them, too. What you remember though are the people. The only way to connect with the people is by connecting with them. Eating with them, talking, laughing, and crying. Nothing else seems to work. Email doesn’t work. Internet doesn’t work. Phone doesn’t work. Thinking about them doesn’t work. The only way to connect with people is by connecting.
The Construction of Programs
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

The Goal of a Teacher

A random vintage bike at work… and my thumb.
IPodTouch is great… but not at being a camera… res is too low.
Capturing all output in MS-DOS
Seems like there is not a single example out there showing how to run Tomcat in MS-DOS and capture all of its output. I sure didn’t know how, and don’t remember the post that told me.
