I’ve been blogging since before the term weblog had been coined. I’ve seen the birth, and the demise, of social networking.
Oh wait, the demise part hasn’t happened yet… right?
For those of you who don’t know me (why the @(*$*@ are you reading my blog?), you might not know that I’ve grown a strong distaste [...]
A couple weeks ago I departed on a journey… an entirely new phase of life one might say. It started with a growing distaste for modern food manufacturing techniques and an expensive premium ice cream habit, and culminated in the arrival of a Cuisinart ICE-50BCC Ice Cream Maker. I did a lot of [...]
I wasn’t the biggest Lost fan around, nor did I really believe that Abrams had a detailed plan figured out for the storyline, but I was hopeful that the entire plot at least wasn’t going to be some sick, twisted, joke on the unsuspecting masses. Of course, this post is a little bit late [...]
I recently resigned my position at the company I have been working at for the past two years. Compiler development, and the team I was on were great. And, it was definitely interesting work — if you ever get the chance to work on a piece of software as big and complicated as [...]
I’m still exhausted from the flight, but the trip was excellent, and I think the presentation went really well!
Amsterdam is definitely a very cool and unique city! I’m extremely glad we were able to find Jess a last minute flight, and that the hotel didn’t mind her staying in my room (which was booked [...]

It’s been a long wait, but I’m finally able to discuss my Master’s thesis: a real-time fluid simulation aimed at rendering large scale rivers for interactive applications like games. My supervisors and I put together a paper based on the thesis, which has been accepted to CASA 2009, and will be published in the [...]
As promised in Part I, I think it’s about time we start to actually have some fun with C++0x’s variadiac templates. There’s lots of basic tutorials out there and people talking about variadics here and there, but I haven’t seen anyone really delve into yet, so here we go. First up, the most [...]
If you’re a C++ user, you’ve probably heard that the up and coming language revision, C++0x, is adding support for variadic templates. And if you’re anything like me, perhaps your first question was “Cool, so what good are they?” And I would say “Excellent question!” to such an inquiry, because C++ has been [...]
