Constantly Changing: March 2009
http://constc.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Although you're missing out Rich's incredibly good verbal presenting style if you just read them, obviously. He argues that we need well defined time models for state changes in our concurrent computational systems. A lack of a time model fails to capture the situation where two observers (threads, CPUs) can observe two events (changes of state) in different order. Then it suddenly hit me! I learned this stuff in school! The thing I realize now is that it's inherent. Now, there's...

Constantly Changing: June 2010
http://constc.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. I work for Twitter now. I work for Twitter now. Traffic increase, and I'm very excited at the prospect of throwing my weight behind making it able to cope with this welcome challenge. The company is chock full of extremely bright people that I will no doubt be a delight to work with, and maybe some of their awesome will rub on to me too. So are you moving to Bay Area? Yes We're working on my visa, and once that's approved (hopefully around October), I'll move with my wife and child...

Project history - Apache FreeMarker

Constantly Changing: September 2010
http://constc.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 09, 2010. Running YourKit UI remotely. The good news is: it works. The bad news is: it needs tweaking to work. First thing I run into was that the GUI was hideously slow. I would click on a button in the profiler, and feedback would take several minutes. I'm not joking. Several minutes. Googling revealed a Sun Bug Database item "Antialiasing/Compositing is slow on remote display". It suggests that to run GUI Java apps over X.11, one should add. Ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -C.

Constantly Changing: February 2010
http://constc.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Last week I purchased a copy of Gears of War - it cost me some 12 bucks in local currency, one of the benefits of only buying 2-3 year old games. Yup, I'm the guy from this comic. So it happened that this weekend I decided to play a bit with it, so went to install it on a Sunday afternoon. As installs go, it was uneventful, and I got to launching the game. I get to the main screen. Fine. I can play the game now, right? We're now at about one hour mark from the moment I inserted...

Constantly Changing: Review of the Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone
http://constc.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-of-commodore-64-emulator-for.html
Tuesday, September 08, 2009. Review of the Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone. Apple yanked the app because of the BASIC interpreter hole, and the developers have plugged it and resubmitted the app. Way to go, Apple. I mean, what harm could that BASIC interpreter do? It has no means of loading external code - no access to local filesystem of the underlying OS, no network connectivity, nothing. Are they afraid I'll manually type-in a program from a listing published in a magazine or something? Oh, don't...
