Well, I finally did it. I decided to migrate over to WordPress! For a long time I was thinking of rewriting my homegrown blogging-engine (that I initially designed over seven years ago). I never got around to doing it because it was just so much work! I know part of it has to do with…

Sulekha: A text-based Markov-chain generator
I’ve finished work on the projects page. Sometimes I’ll have a passing interest in something that leads me to write some code for fun. Yes, you read right. I like to code… for fun. Anyway, this is something I’ve done ever since I started programming way back in 1991. I’ve written a bunch of cool…
Over Here – Day 114
I guess this would be my first post from Iraq. I am in Baghdad right now, but I can’t get more specific than that. If I told you, I would have to kill you. God… I’ve always wanted to say that! Right, so I’ve been here from the 6th of this month. We left our…
Artificial Life – some preliminary findings
I fnished my artificial life simulator over the weekend, and I have been running simulations on it. There were a few bugs initially that I quickly fixed. My initial simulations gave me some inexplicable “population explosion”. For example, in one cycle I would have 31 creatures and in the next cycle I would suddenly have…
Intel and Artificial Life
This is my fourth day at Intel. I think I will enjoy working here. I haven’t done much yet though, and I still don’t know exactly what it is I am supposed to be doing. I tested some 140 chips yesterday, but that wasn’t too much work. My supervisor is out until Tuesday, so until…
Whoa
I had my very first code review. It was interesting and slightly unnerving. I had all these people who had gone over my code, tell me what was wrong with it. Luckily, nothing too serious! Just minor issues. I learnt some new stuff though. THEN, I found out that my highschool friend is GETTING MARRIED!…
Mandelbrot Sets
I’ve generated a couple of Mandelbrot sets. f(z) = f(z – 1)2 + c; f(0) = c and c is complex number (x + iy). They’re pretty sweet looking! I used Perl and GD to generate PNG images. The images are rather huge so please be patient. If you have a dialup connection, be prepared…
Ecological Simulators and Photo Albums
I finished the “Delete Photos” page on the Photo Album Tools page… which of course, none of you can see, since it’s in the admin section. But anyway… It took me this long, because I had other stuff to take care of… namely CSE 421. I only have the “Update Photos” tool to finish… after…
Some updates…
Hey guyz! Will someone write something on that message board? I’m tired of seeing those old messages… What’s happening?? How’s the new semester!! Nimish! I know you’re accessing it! I can see you! Write something! Okay.. on to new stuff. I’ve updated the About Me section. No Pics, I’ve rewritten the entire thing. Read it…
