Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?
So here’s the rundown of what’s been, well, going down: Rewrote Bitstream and Huffman encoder/decoder in Java, now fully integrated with my image editor (download them from the code page) Slept, finally had an intense session with JK with lots of Dew, code, and good discussion cleaned the apartment some Tonight I have a study session for CS411, assuming that I manage to [...]
I’ve re-written most of my C++-based Bitstream library in Java, ostensibly to allow better integration with my image editor, but in reality because I still can’t find my bug.
Math Exam Status: Aced.
I’ve spent 9 hours looking for one bug. I have literally nailed it down to 4 lines of code. The bug does not make sense. Nothing makes sense. Goodnight.
The world takes on a certain strangeness once you approach the 36 hour mark without sleep. The Huffman Coding system that I’ve been trying to implement isn’t working. The tree structure sets up properly, but an attempt to print it out (and by extension, to locate particular nodes) segfaults, a strange occurance considering my minimal use [...]
I’ve added a Code Page to the blog, which will house various completed and unfinished bits of source. More description on the page.
Why yes, I am implementing Huffman Coding at 4AM.
…just crashed. Rawr.
Just a video for the heck of it: linky
Somwhere in the bowels of the InterWeb, two coders converse: 2:07:12 AM qphoebusq: so 2:07:16 AM qphoebusq: i’m trying to use JNI 2:07:30 AM qphoebusq: which at first I thought was a way to call c++ functions directly from a library 2:07:43 AM joshkimdotorg: JNI? 2:07:45 AM qphoebusq: so you have a compiled native code library, a .dll on windows [...]
Tonight’s all-night CS242 coding session brought to you by Mountain Dew, the programmer’s drink of choice. Honestly, I never do the Dew, except when I am doing some hardcore coding. I don’t know why that is, but I can tell you that I owe many a subroutine or pointer hack to the amber ambrosia.
The last year or two has seen a rapid acceleration in the debut of new (or at least better-developed) toolkits for working with many languages. Most of these focus on web development, in particular “Web 2.0“. These languages (Ruby, PHP, Javascript, CSS, etc), and web development in general, are not my forte. I am a low-level [...]

It’s Heroes time. Thank you DVR and the scifi revival.
