This is my second year doing my taxes now and I just finished all my taxes in about 20 minutes. There seems to be a spooky factor when people bring up tax season. I am trying to figure out what all the fuss is about? When doing your tax there are four places you have [...]

My latest work on research has been the development of code generation tool that basically sets up all the needed directories for a muse simulation to work correctly. It also gives users the option to generate agent,state, or event classes which are subclasses from muse base classes. The language I’ve chosen to create this tool [...]

I had a freaking break down today. There are just so many things going on with research and at times can feel very over whelming. I took this day off to get a hold of myself and to reorganize my current attack plan. Things on my list that have to be done for research include: [...]

I love hulu and I have a couple of shows that I absolutely love to watch on the site. The following are the the descriptions of the shows as displayed on hulu and also an episode from the show you can watch here! Lie To Me When you scratch your chin, wring your hands, wrinkle [...]

First, I would like to state that I am currently a grad student. With that disclaimer, everyone knows that typically we don’t have much money to spend. The stipend you do get will probably be enough for you rent, food, and utilities. Cable, especially in Oxford Ohio is a luxury not enjoyed by most grad [...]

If you are not a programmer, I recommend you use a different blogging engine, because even after the install is a success. You’ll still need to edit the template of your choice to get it just right. I am still not done editing this template. Installing Mephisto 0.8 (Drax) is not exactly the easiest thing [...]

In Part1 of this article we went over the basics, so read that first if you already haven’t. In this article, we will go into more detail over the different types of parallelism. Parallelism types from Implicit to Explicit Instruction Level parallelism Compiler assisted parallelism Programmer guided, Compiler assisted parallelism Programmer guided, automatic multi-threading Multi-threaded [...]

There are many types of parallelism in HPDC, but in general the term is typically used to describe the idea of performing two or more tasks at the same time using different computational devices. These computational devices can be: A different computer thats networked or interconnected Another microprocessor on the same computer Another core on [...]

In part one of this article we went over how to create and use partials. Part two will take what we learned from part one and see how we can use collections to make partials even more useful. We’ll see how you can set additional local variables in your partial. This article is short and [...]

Often in web applications, the same data is displayed in more than one location. Usually this is done by copying code between different template pages. Using Rails we can avoid this and remain true to the Rails principles of “never repeating ourselves”. This is accomplished by using Rails partials. In part one of this article [...]
