untitled.gif orchestra (my bedroom acoustic indie rock project at mp3.com) just got a new song, Theme From Red Ninja X. I've got a new one "Theme from I.E.M." which I think is much better, but it'll probably be a week before that is accepted there. |

UPD: Divide By Zero
(18 Jun 2001 at 23:49) |
| In a weird fit of motivation, I actually did some work on snoot.org today (it's not up yet, but maybe soon), but I was caught short because I didn't have one of those cute tiny screen fonts that all the cool kids use. So, hey, I made one. It's called snoot.org pixel10 and it's at Divide By Zero. |

UPD: ifcd/scrobble
(18 Jun 2001 at 19:21) |
| I updated the scrobble game inside ifcd (my experimental irc server) with two new features: the ability to choose a lower-scoring word than your best, and the ability to check what words were worth after the round ends. The guys at work really like this game... |

Shootout, 2!
(16 Jun 2001 at 00:26) |
The MLton folks implemented the missing tests for their compiler in the Programming Language Shootout; that shot mlton pretty high up in the standings. Today I rewrote the reversefile benchmark; previously mlton ranked something like 12th, now it's 7 times faster and in 3rd place (#1 for memory use).
So check out the standings: MLton is tied for 2nd place with O'Caml, losing to C by only 1 point!
Don't believe anyone who says high-level languages are necessarily slow. Hooray! |

NEW: mlftpd
(14 Jun 2001 at 19:36) |
| I don't trust wu-ftpd or other ftp servers written in C, so I decided to rewrite one in ML. This one is buffer overflow free; you can get the source to mlftpd at sourceforge. This joins sfingerd in my project to rewrite all of the useful but untrustworthy network services in ML. Just you wait! |

Shootout!
(07 Jun 2001 at 19:19) |
I submitted a program (in Standardish ML) to the fun Programming Languages Shootout Page today, for the echo client/server test. It comes in 4th in that benchmark, after C, C++, and O'caml (another ML).
The fact that my program runs only 12% slower than the C version (and is half as many lines of code) is a good argument for my plan of rewriting the standard internet services using MLton! (Which, by the way, I have been working on recently... I'm now tackling ftpd.)

| Here's a great short page "That'll Teach You to Use The Internet!", which has both broken english and baiting. Great! |

I've added the ability to modify old entries in my weblog software, as well as some new functionality to aphasia.
This is a test! =) |

NEW: Album-a-day #2
(04 Jun 2001 at 17:13) |
A second Installment in my Album-A-Day series. This one is a lot smoother than the last one, I think, with some genuine sing-songy numbers.
The album-a-day projects are part of my new movement known tentatively as "Crap Art". I'll get back to you on this once I figure out what it means, exactly. Here are the rules for album-a-day (from that page):
- Album must be written, recorded, mixed, arranged, post-produced (etc.) in one 24-hour period.
- No ideas from before the day!! No covers!
- Album must be at least 20 minutes or 30 songs
- No out-takes! |

Graduation!
(03 Jun 2001 at 13:04) |
203×472 version I graduated (only -14 days 'till the big event!) from CMU on 20 May 2001. My degree was in Computer Science, with a minor in Communication Design. I got University Honors and College Honors and a Senior Leadership Award (?). More pictures here.
My awesome advisor was there getting the Herbert A. Simon Teaching Award, the first one since Simon passed away last semester.
So now I tell everyone I am a "PhD Student" and I'm not even stretching the truth. Weird. |

OK!! Back!
(03 Jun 2001 at 12:11) |
Well, though my computer was connected to the internet, a sleeping hard drive and a misbehaved DNS registry kept my sites offline for 12 days or so. But now everything is back, I think.
I've been moving into my new place. I don't have phone service yet, let alone internet, so it'll be a while before I can get on top of my projects again. I've also been working for CERT; I'll post more about my new place and about CERT soon.
A bunch of stuff is going on. Expect more updates soon! |
