A couple weeks ago I departed on a journey… an entirely new phase of life one might say. It started with a growing distaste for modern food manufacturing techniques and an expensive premium ice cream habit, and culminated in the arrival of a Cuisinart ICE-50BCC Ice Cream Maker. I did a lot of [...]
I wasn’t the biggest Lost fan around, nor did I really believe that Abrams had a detailed plan figured out for the storyline, but I was hopeful that the entire plot at least wasn’t going to be some sick, twisted, joke on the unsuspecting masses. Of course, this post is a little bit late [...]
I recently resigned my position at the company I have been working at for the past two years. Compiler development, and the team I was on were great. And, it was definitely interesting work — if you ever get the chance to work on a piece of software as big and complicated as [...]
I’m still exhausted from the flight, but the trip was excellent, and I think the presentation went really well!
Amsterdam is definitely a very cool and unique city! I’m extremely glad we were able to find Jess a last minute flight, and that the hotel didn’t mind her staying in my room (which was booked [...]
In less than an hour I’ll be leaving for the airport and will eventually be making my way to Amsterdam, after a half day in Switzerland. I’m hugely excited about the trip — it’s my first time presenting a paper at a conference, and I think it’s really cool that my Master’s research is [...]
It’s been a long wait, but I’m finally able to discuss my Master’s thesis: a real-time fluid simulation aimed at rendering large scale rivers for interactive applications like games. My supervisors and I put together a paper based on the thesis, which has been accepted to CASA 2009, and will be published in the [...]
As promised in Part I, I think it’s about time we start to actually have some fun with C++0x’s variadiac templates. There’s lots of basic tutorials out there and people talking about variadics here and there, but I haven’t seen anyone really delve into yet, so here we go. First up, the most [...]
If you’re a C++ user, you’ve probably heard that the up and coming language revision, C++0x, is adding support for variadic templates. And if you’re anything like me, perhaps your first question was “Cool, so what good are they?” And I would say “Excellent question!” to such an inquiry, because C++ has been [...]
Random tube weirdness:
Mike the Headless Chicken
Mayonnaise
Cop’s Eye
Space stations kick ass
So it’s official: I don’t have anything nasty… that they tested me for. I’ve just been sick a lot, and I only fainted that one time. .
They x-ray’ed me twice, did three malaria screens on different samples of my blood, ultrasounded my liver, spleen, and for some reason the underside of my freakin’ [...]
