webqueue
(30 Oct 2000 at 09:40) |
I made some good progress on my Windows program webqueue this weekend. It can now grab several URLS concurrently and save them to the local hard drive. Add a UI, error recovery, and HTML parsing, maybe a scripting language, and you're done!
My C++ coding style is extremely unorthodox these days. |

Version "beta1f" of the Q3F mod for Quake 3 came out Saturday. It's running on my Q3F server now (even though it's a little buggy), I'm also mirroring the 33mb update there. |

Inspector Cameo

The super-depressing Last Cereal comic features a cute cameo of Inspector Fuckup from me and my roommate's deconstructionist comic. Here's the strip! |

Theseus vs. the Minotaur
(24 Oct 2000 at 23:08) |
I enjoyed playing this difficult java maze called Theseus and the Minotaur. It was hard (in a thinking sort of way) but I did solve it; my solution for peekers is here. |

Taking the computer-based GRE is not fun. But at least they now tell you the unofficial results immediately: Section | Score | Aprox. Percentile |
---|
Verbal | 630 | 88 | Quantitative | 750 | 88.5? | Analytical | 790 | 99 |

Immune

Oh yeah, and now I am immune to certain sorts of Influenza and Meningitis. Shots don't hurt these days; do they have new hypodermic inventions? |

Mr. October
(02 Oct 2000 at 22:45) |
OK, it's October!
My parents visited this weekend to help me celebrate my birthday last week. We went to the mall and I got a new Tiny Playstation to replace my old broken Playstation with the abortive mod job. This means I can keep playing all my good RPGs like Chrono Cross and Saga Frontier 2 while I should be doing work. The new Tiny Playstation is quite sleek.
Lots of stuff on the plate this week, with something due (again) in all of my classes. I am finding the site called artchive.com very helpful for my Art History project. My theorem prover program for Constructive Logic called MEGAPROVE probably won't be useful any more, now that they've got us doing homework which isn't completely algorithmic. The Compilers homework continues to be defined in terms of a changing and buggy reference implementation; I miss rigorous definitions.
The results for the ICFP '00 competition were posted. Our team didn't win (maybe next time there will be less real-number math!) but we are first on the contest results page! ;)
Check out the new series of comics (some of which drawn by me) on untitled.gif. They are weird.
My roommate got some movies, and I still have some left over from my last e-commerce adventure. Sometime this week we'll probably be watching Battle Athletes Victory (vol 3), Blade Runner, and Metropolis. |
