My blog is worth $564.54.
How much is your blog worth?
For the record, here’s something I consider worth some serious research:
Robustly linked views of data stores (filesystems) based on semantic topology. The underlying model is, in general, a continuous one, of differentiable manifolds, but the discrete graph view is an embedding, and probably consists of harmonic nodes on the manifold. (Are there […]
Among the favorite pop songs of the mid 1960s in northern China were two delightful hits, with the superlatively catchy titles, “Americans are Ambitious Wolves”, and “Socialism is Very Good”. I don’t know these songs. When I think back to my earliest musical memories, Ike and Tina are singing “Proud Mary”, John Phillips in his […]
Life Church has a welding class, and I’ve made it to 3 of the 4 meetings so far. There are two to go. This post is a vent to my exhuberant delight in the process of welding.
I was wild about hot glass work, when I was at university, but I can’t very well […]
The bulk of the material on the web concerning GNU autotools, from libtool up through automake and autoconf, concern the brokenness of the system. I hold that this system for producing spaghetti is intrinsically harmful to software development progress.
The autotools, by design, produce incomprehensible, misleadingly indented, highly redundant code which has to be reverse-engineered […]
New job. Thought it would rock. Find out I’m stucking doing linux sysadmin, php programming, software installs and bug fixes. This is double-plus ungood, and I know it.
However, I can’t stop the task until it completes satisfactorily. I cannot tolerate failure. Therefore, I will rock this monster into the ground.
And […]
Squeeeeeezing this reverse proxy out is painful. The mind boggles. The sweat drops form. Madness crouches at the door. But it must be done, come hell or high water, today. And with that, I am back to the brick wall, until next time.
Starting a new job, new challenges, new opportunities. I’m planning to use the Development Log to track notes and progress. Comments are solicited.
Task 1: Latent Semantic Analysis
This task is a bit ambiguous since my commandante is vague so far about requirements. That’s okay, I can run with it, because it’s cool and fun. LSA feeds […]
 | If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician. I provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, I illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. I then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.
