the next big thing... Endurance Running Harness for Herbert October 2009 I have been a walker ever since I got my legs back as a teenager. Before that biking is how I covered distance. For a time I did not have use of my legs (the result of a biking accident) and was told I would not walk again. Thankfully that was not the case, but after that the idea of running always seemed foolhardy. All that impact, thud thud thud, not for me and my spine. However, of late I am trying running

Bio * Before joining Vassar in Fall 2006, I was an assistant professor at Colby College for five (5) years, beginning Fall 2001. Prior to my transition to academia, I worked for AT&T for fifteen (15) years, in several different internal IT capacities, including applications and systems development and support, and IT infrastructure systems engineering. One of the very special opportunities I had while working for AT&T was to be sponsored in its Doctoral Support Program, which enabled me to go…

VNC over inetd with gdm - number of session limitation There are a lot of pages about setting up vnc over inetd. I had been running such a setup for years with 10 - 20 simultaneous sessions being commonplace, but an upgrade of the server to ubuntu 9.4 broke my configuration. Eventually all but one problem had been worked out by poking around the changelogs, reading a few man pages and using the standard net searches. That problem was that only 2 simultaneous sessions were supported. The fix…

Infinite Trees 1 Motivation Up until now, we’ve mostly looked at trees as a data structure, but we haven’t looked at them in the context of any particular problems. Trees are used in many applications in computer science, robotics, and game design. One common application is for representing the possible moves in a game or search problem. Imagine that you were exploring the space that a player (character or robot) could move through. On each move, the player would change position (and possibl…

Using a ServeSwitch Ultra with a 1U server I have been using a Black Box ServeSwitch Ultra for well over 10 years. At the time it was the perfect choice for our needs as it worked well with the 4 kinds of machines we were connecting to it. It has never given me a moment of trouble in all this time, so when I needed to attach some new servers to it, I called Black Box and ordered the cables. However, when they arrived, the hood on the vga connector end of the cable was too large to fit into t…

Using emacs with z80asm First off, I want to state I am not a lisp podgammer OK, now that that is out of the way, this is what I added to my .emacs when I started using z80asm to work with z80 assembly code. It adds ASM to the list of extensions that will put you into asm-mode for editing assembly code and defines the compile command the way I wanted it. If there is a better way to do these tasks please let me know.
