I know I’m a couple days behind, still trying to find a source of programs. Here’s one I grabbed from an ACM ICPC Regional Contest, a program to calculate e.

I didn’t get a chance yesterday to complete the March Madness, and today, I started too late because I didn’t have any ideas. Anyway, another person in the ‘space is doing Project Euler problems, so I did the first one in Matlab.

It was proposed at FUBAR Labs that for each day in March, everyone (well, anyone who wanted to participate) should write a program. I was on the fence about it, but decided to do one at the last hour since I had been telling myself that I should do more programming. So, here’s mine for Day 1. It’s a “simple” hello world program that uses objects written in Objective C.

I have no idea why I keep updating WordPress and K2 (the theme), but I do. I just updated K2 to the latest, tell me if there are any problems.
Hopefully I’ll come out with something with more content than this (after a couple good posts and a long hiatus it seems). I know, it gets tiring.
I had a longer post, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear it.
I just got Red Alert 3 for the Mac. It worked fine after installing it, but after a reboot, it crashes on start up.
I must say, the EA support pages are pretty horrible. It’s difficult to find support articles (worth anything) or to get patches.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me. I run the game on the top 24-inch iMac that just got released (Stock, except for a bluetooth mouse. Stats are in the Systems page). Continue reading ‘EA screwed the pooch’
The other week I decided to buy the AV cables for my iPod/iPhone, thinking it would be handy to play a few show that I have on my iPod. After I got home from buying the (expensive) cables, I learned that they didn’t quite fit my television inputs. With a little bit lot of force, they might fit, but at the risk of breaking the inputs. A little bit of googling shown that other people have gotten the same results.
I took the tour of the Corona Yard, home of the 7 train, last Saturday. I posted some pictures.
The tour check in was a bit rocky, but eventually turned out to be one of the better tours I’ve been on. It started off with a discussion about sustainability, and how the Yard is the newest facility and how they took the opportunity to reduce energy use and reduce other wastes.
Once we made it down to the shop floor, we walked along the tracks with some explanation about various things we saw on the way. Next up, we went into a R62A and were able to look around (including the cabs) and ask questions. There they gave us a demo about the door systems and it’s safety features. The three little kids on the tour were able to play around with the PA and make announcements.
After the demo, we continued along and was show the various part underneath the car and was show the machine that rounds the wheels (while they are still on the car).
Another demo was given about how they give the cars “third rail” power with the overhead power connectors (I think they were called bugs (or was that only for auxiliary power)) so they can move the cars into and out of the shop.
At the end of the tour, they handed out little plastic baggies with the wheel shavings, “7″ stickers, and a pamphlet.
I went to Steamtown on Saturday with some friends for Railfest. I posted some pictures.
Updated wordpress to the latest version after being lazy for a while.
It didn’t go quite as smooth as the previous upgrade, so please tell me if anything seems broken.

Posted the pictures I took on the “Nostalgia Train” excursion to Far Rockaway. Just a photo dump, no editing except for size.
The trip started from 57 St/7 Av on a set of R1/9 cars. We then proceeded to Queens Plaza to get on the E line so we could go down Eighth Av into Brooklyn. There was a brief stop at Court Street (the NYCT museum; yes we rode right into the museum), then headed to Rockaway Park. If you stayed on the train, you would have gone to Far Rockaway and back across the bay before going back to Rockaway Park.
