Null Disquisition

Well. Damn. Not much to update about my thesis. Been working on a 1d solution to the diffusion equation with a drift potential (see Fokker-Planck). When I get some pretty pictures for that I’ll post them.

In the mean time, I made an awesome time-saving app for watching Naruto. Took me about 5 mins (granted I’ve been doing a lot of PHP programming lately). Goes like this:

• cURL request to MySpaceTV for “Naruto Episode ###”
• uses preg_match to find the first result
• strips out the video id and pastes it into a flash embed

Check out the source or watch an episode yourself!

I consented to a verbal NDA at the game store, so I can’t give any details, but I got Spore a day early. Native OS X support… *drool*. Consequently, this will be the first time I’ll have used my dvd drive on my new laptop. Lulz.

I literally jumped in the air when they guy handed my the bag and prompted me to vacate the premesis. Screenshots after the break.

In a tragic episode of miscommunication and server migration, I have managed to loose my once beloved Wordpress Blog (http://enja.org/david). I did, however, by the magic of the Wayback Machine uncover an archive from 2007. All of the important posts are there (the AJAX articles) and the other diatribe remains as well.

Mad props to Archive.org.
