Welcome Ronak!
I set up Ronak’s blog back early April, but major “bad” on my behalf I didn’t add up his name to the blog roll straight away. SORRY! Hope we hear more from you soon. Everyone else, why not head on over and say “hi”?
Rally Call!
To all you regular byteclub blog/clog-gers, if you know of current IBL or past FICT students that are blogging elsewhere, or would like to be blogging (you think), ask/get them to email (cwoodward@byteclub.net) as it would be great to grow the list and grow byteclub. I don’t know about you, but I really like to read what people of similar interests are up to and how they are going. I learn a lot and its a neat part of my day to read what people are up to. (Just never have time to blog everything… :~)
(Side note: I hadn’t been adding people to the blogroll straight away ’cause it’s not unusual for people to ask for a blog and then post 0, 1 or 2 posts and that’s it… but that’s okay. Perhaps the better policy is to just put them all out there… what do you think?)

I kind of thought this would be a gimmick, but the questions are actually well thought out (and obviously including feedback from people I think), and the quiz came up with some good information and results. The act of taking the quiz makes you think about the differentiating qualities of linux distros too, which is a nice thing for an informed code monkey to have in mind.
Anyway, why not head over to the “linux distribution chooser” …

[Note: I had a slight love show/”perfect match”…”your compatibility rating is”… vision, hence the blog title. Although, knowing what that TV show is dates me… :~)]

Found some fun stuff while developing material for AI. See this list of “real robots” as a small walk in the past. Brought a grin…

And if you haven’t seen the “self-replicating” robots at Cornell check that out. It’s really cool…

Yes - it’s there.
Last time I said there were some things I still wanted to complete on the byteclub blog roll, and so it is…
- Posts ordered by most recent - DONE (although an edit to a post also causes update)
- The title of the most recent post showing - DONE
- Checked out the cache settings - DONE
Things still to be done (perhaps)
- Show the number of comments next to each post title
- Create an export RSS feed for those that want to aggregate our aggretated list.. :)
- Get those monkeys showing
- Add more blogs (internal and external)
There is still the issue of a better migration from the old data to these new wordpress setups. I have grand intention to create a wiki entry on how we can do that… (it would be great to still be able to get back the old comments…)
Here’s a call (I think an actual email will be in order) for those that either a) want a new blog on byteclub or b) would like their blog listed on the byteclub roll, then please let me know. There are still some of the past active bloggers that I want to contact, and I’m sorry to those that I haven’t asked yet - you can always contact me first!
In other news, Lucien and I have grand schemes for some unified admin, and I actually think that will happen sooner rather than later, simply because it’s really needed.
Finally, I have updated the code syntax highlighter extension for the swinbrain wiki (and i’ll move the new version to byteclub soon). This was inspired by John asking if the extension could be used elsewhere, and so I decided to add a fix and some features. Short versions: single line works, don’t need to add ‘Y’ all the time (it’s implicit if you specify line numbers - kinda obvious now…) and you can now ask for special “marking” of individual lines, or a *range* of lines… quite swish. :~)
Check out Swinbrain entry and the editing help page for more details if you are interested.

My interests here are biophysics, electronics (PIC’s), instrumentation, programming (esp. Delphi), linux (Debian flavour) and AI (not the Spielberg variety). I have been known to talk about web development.
