BBOYSUMMIT 2003 starts tonight… (schedule). $20/day? Not that expensive… I could probably shoot some great photos, just need to fit this in the schedule.

I put up a page (and wrote a threaded comment board) for my CTCS 505 group seminar yesterday. Since it looks like some people are putting in the wrong url, here it is just in case.
Non-class people, feel free to drop by and leave your 2 cents.
Wow, pretty harsh Liz Phair review on Pitchfork. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 0.0 score since I started reading Pitchfork regularly.
Ten years after Exile, Liz has finally managed to accomplish what seems to have been her goal ever since the possibility of commercial success first presented itself: to release an album that could have just as easily been made by anybody else.
For interest, here are the other 0.0’s I could find:
- Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Remastered Hits: The Best of…
- The Flaming Lips – Zaireeka
- Francisco López – Untitled #104
- John Frusciante – Smile From The Streets You Hold
- Kiss – Peter Criss
- Sonic Youth – NYC Ghosts & Flowers
And on the other end, the 10.0’s (interestingly, The Flaming Lips has one in each):
Gijs Van Tulder wrote a recent article on Storing Hierarchical Data in a Database. (see my older database tree links.
I actually use a different method than either the simple adjacency list or the modified preordered tree traversal algorithms – basically I used thread id’s in my query, reading in batches of nodes by thread and then used a simple depth-first traversal (recursive) function to put each thread together. I need to try out some different algorithms and test out the performance differences and flexibility.
Heh, this actually got a real laugh out of me:
Unix-lover Heaven
Panther will include a final X11 client for Unix-based applications, improved NFS/UFS, FreeBSD 5 innovations as well as support for popular Linux APIs, IPv6 and other important acronyms.
Torvalds Speaks Out on SCO, Linux:
SCO alleges that you need to focus more on getting clarification as to where the code that goes in the Linux kernel comes from. Do you have any plans to change the current Linux development model?
No. I allege that SCO is full of it, and that the Linux process is already the most transparent process in the whole industry. Let’s face it, nobody else even comes close to being as good at showing the evolution and source of every single line of code out there. The only party that has had serious problems clarifying what they are talking about is SCO, and now when details start emerging like with RCU, it’s clearly about IP that they had nothing to do with, and don’t even own. I’m sure that they are confident that they own the collective work of Unix, but that’s a separate thing entirely legally from being the actual copyright owner of any specific section of code.
Just watched the keynote stream (yes, the whole thing), and I don’t think there’s any question, that bar none, the new G5’s are the best PCs coming out on the market. Now, if only it could play Half-Life 2… [Well, that’s what the AMD’s are for…]
[yes, I’m fully aware, and don’t care about the GCC SPEC results; the Panther features and media performance make a compelling package]
My other machine is your linux box. – heehee. (via brad)
