December 4th, 2009The United States cares more about criminals than the me
October 29th, 2009We spend $29,000 a year on the average prisoner but the maximum federal government grant a student can get for college is around $5,000. Prisoners also get free healthcare. I get nothing.
I’m going to rob a bank. That way, either I’ll be able to afford both, or I’ll go to prison and get both.
Anyone know any good salespeople?

Oops… deleted the WordPress template
September 6th, 2009Well… I accidently deleted my template when updating WP. I’m pretty sure I have a backup and could easily restore it but I’m not going to bother. It wasn’t anything special. Instead, I am eventually going to create a new design, one that I actually spend some time on since that seems to be the hip thing these days.
On a side note I have decided to go back to school and once my life settles down back into a normal thing I will get a new version of FLIR out, as well as many other things that I’ve been working on. Yay.
Proof of my geekery…
January 11th, 2009So… I’m trying to write a natural language parser and was doing some research when I stumbled upon this forum thread.
I enjoyed it so much I thought I’d share it:
Jack
Hi there, just checking to see if anyone knows how to perform this
basic grammar function ? I searched CPAN and found nothing that was
able to in Perl..
Charlton
That’s because it’s not a trivial problem.
Consider: “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”
In the second sentence, what is the subject?
Jack
Thanks.. So my goal would be to capture what is the subject of the
sentence, Time, and Fruit, respectively. However you cant always take
the first noun that shows up as the subject for instance: “Despite
accusations, lawyers find a way to evade difficult situations”Lawyers would be the subject of the sentence.. does that make sense ?
Essentially, identify the TOPIC/subject is what I want to do, for a
given sentence..
Jürgen
You just proved Charlton’s point:
In the second sentence the subject is not “fruit” but “fruit flies”Natural language parsing is a _very_ difficult subject.
Charlton
And you just proved my actual point: Whether the subject is “fruit” or
“fruit flies” is indeterminate, and that’s where the humor in the
statement comes from.

December 18th, 2008It’s good to be in the Vampire business… apparently
November 24th, 2008Thanks to the latest episode of Southpark, I was curious if there really is a trend of kids dressing like vampires. That question remains unanswered, but I did a search and find something much more interesting.
Apparently, even though the economy is in the crapper, it has been a good few months to be in the vampire business. Could this be because of some secret skull and bones vampire conspiracy?
Being Nocturnal
November 18th, 2008I’ve always liked staying up late to do work. I am just more focused at night. But lately, I’ve been staying up all night and sleeping almost all day and I have to say… it’s taking a toll. The days seem to fly by faster and it is harder to keep track of time. I’m about done with it.
However, being nocturnal is no where near as bad as the 24/12 experiment I did, though. The plan was to stay up 24-hours and sleep 12 to create a 36 hour day. After a few 36 hour days my brain was mush and I was ready to give up since there was no point to the experiment in the first place. Maybe it would have worked better if the environment supported a 36 hour day with corresponding light/dark periods. After all… it works for plants, right?
As you may have already noticed… there isn’t really a point to this post. I was just tired of looking at my previous one. No matter. No one reads this anyway.
