Tab Terminator

28-May-09

So, my browser is getting full again and I feel like clearing out the backlog. Prepare yourselves for a linkpost! Also, I’ll try to arrange links by progressive nerdiness or some such. NOTE: I’ve been terrible at keeping up with other people’s blogs. If you’re a friend of mine and I haven’t read/commented in a [...]

Lisp is Lovable

27-May-09

I’m about to run to class but I thought I’d throw up a Lisp solution I coded to the Funny Words problem which I worked through in Haskell earlier. I used sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die thanks to a helpful guide to dump a core image and used unix’s time command to time it. The output of time ./funnyWords.core [...]

The Week After

26-May-09

I want to thank everyone who commented or sent messages for their love and support over the past week. It’s been most appreciated. Things are slowly returning to normal. I wrote something substantial about Dad last night but I’m going to hold off on posting it for a bit. I want to make sure it’s [...]

Dad’s Visitation and Funeral

19-May-09

Normally I don’t write these “Note” things but you know what they say about exceptional circumstances. This will be cross-posted to my blog and is stolen from Mom’s caringbridge journal. Thursday, May 21, 6 – 8pm: Visitation at HM Patterson’s (Spring Hill facility) Atlanta GA Friday, Mary 22, 10am: Funeral Service at All Saint’s Episcopal [...]

Suitable Title Not Found

18-May-09

My father, John M Glenn Jr passed away (very peacefully I’m told) at 10:15am. I had just gotten on a train to Arts Center to get on a bus to school. I know I’ll have more to say about him later, I’m not sure I’ll find much to say about his passing. It’s pretty hard [...]

RedLinux Revamped

12-May-09

So the last time I really blogged about RedLinux was back in September 08 when I made the first release. I kept tweaking things now and again but at this point I’ve got something that I’m really not messing with very often. I’ve christened it “Redlinux v.20″ and I’m planning on trying to make releases [...]

In Motion

10-May-09

I’m not quite sure where to begin. The last week flew by between finals, moving and family matters. Teresa and I are moved in and mostly unpacked in the new apartment. We’re pretty happy here so far. Grades are coming in and so far I’ve gotten a B in Discrete Mathematics and As in CS [...]

Current Craziness

03-May-09

So, how about a personal update to go with that code madness? I have my last two finals in Discrete Math and CS 102 Tuesday. Then I get to pack and fill out change of address forms in preparation for Teresa and I moving to our new place Tuesday. Then I have about a week [...]

Playing with Haskell

02-May-09

Before I start running my mouth without thinking, some disclaimers: 1) This has no business showing up on reddit. It’s a journal entry from a dumb kid who played for a few hours. I’m acutely aware of it. Also, there would be no post (no code) at all if cgibbard (Cale) in #haskell hadn’t been [...]
