One of the things that bugs me about Twitter is the inability to efficiently search through the tweets that you have made and the tweets that others have made. There have been countless times where I am thinking “I know I tweeted about this a month or two ago, where is it.”
I have decided to [...]
One of the projects that I have wanted to work on for a while has been a web interface to setup and and preview a room layout. Rather than guessing as to if a certain layout will work and then hoping that the configuration is possible, it would be much nicer to just move the [...]
I have got to say, I am quite impressed with The Manga Guide to Calculus. As the title suggests, it is an introduction into the ideas of differential and integral calculus through the use of manga and a story line. The book fulfills on this goal and then some.
The Manga Guide to Calculus starts off [...]
This is a test post from my iPhone with a picture attached. I hope this works!
Google’s favicon has bothered me for a little while now – not because it looks bad, but because it uses five colors.
In graph theory, it is not very difficult to prove that any planar graph is five colorable. One proof of the theorem relies on the fact that if a graph is a K5 it [...]
The other night I was kind of board so I decided to write a game in Python. I’ve already written a Hangman game, but that really isn’t any fun to play by myself since I haven’t implemented a random word feature. I was looking around online for a not so hard game to write and [...]
I got kind of bored last night so I decided it would be a good idea to do some more playing around with Python and Project Euler. One of the problems that I really like is problem 14 and it asks to find the number under 1,000,000 which produces the longest chain when ran through [...]
Okay, I just had way too much fun writing this so I thought I’d post it. It’s exercise 4-1 in K&R2. It’s pretty much “write a function which returns the rightmost index of some character in some string.”

I’ve decided that I want to learn C instead of Haskell and Python now and am using the book to learn from. I gotta say, I’m very impressed with K&R2. Absolutely great. The best part about the book is that it contains many exercises at the end of each section which gives you practice writing [...]
