Mac OS

Posted on July 7, 2008

I don’t like macos leopard:

• When I delete the file it does not select next file and instead go up in direcory tree, so I have to naviage back where I was before.
• When I select group of files and press shift+up it select extra file above instead of unselecting last file
• Once selected a group of files, I can’t unselect a file.
• It does not follow Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
• Often if feels like it’s a single threaded os just like msdos.
• more, but who cares…

supercomputers

Posted on July 1, 2008

Roadrunner was built by IBM and will be housed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where it will be used to perform calculations that will vastly improve the nation’s ability to certify that the United States nuclear weapons stockpile is reliable without conducting underground nuclear tests.

IBM today announced the deployment of Canada’s fastest research supercomputer at the Ontario Cancer Institute, University Health Network. The new system will aid in the search for more effective cancer treatments.

P.S What is so interesting in nuclear simulation? It seems that they run it on every new supercomputer.

It is kind of interesting that I can post blog posts from Microsoft Word

Progress report

Posted on June 20, 2008

Thinks are moving rather slow now, but there is a progress.
Learned how to control small motors and now ordered parts needed to build an h-bridge (circuit that will control high voltage supply and motor rotational direction).

Also I switched from Adruino IDE to a more familiar one vim+makefile and somtimes eclipse + C

Intermediate project update

Posted on June 3, 2008

So, the project will involve micro-controller. I plan to build something that will fly (or drive), will have a GPS receiver and two way radio link. Unit will be semi-autonomous. I plan to learn electronics, low level C programming, networking, protocols, apply some AI tricks I learned in Uni, and have some fun ;-)

Progress so far:

• I read some electronics books and probably understand what pull-up resistor is.
• I have a working setup: C cross-compiler, linker, Makefile, and chip programmer (usbtinyisp that I soldered myself)
• I can use serial interface to communicate with PC, and have code to to so.

From now on it’s downhill all the way!

YES! Finally! More info later
