// a resource on anything

So I woke up bright an early to go see the drexel shaft demolition with a friend. Took this video on my camcorder:

I also wanted to publicize this video, as it is the best angle I’ve seen so far of the demolition:

So as preparation for desiging a Poker AI I decided to play against BluffBot, the world’s most advanced Poker AI. It only took me about 15 minutes to beat it heads up and here is the proof:

Seems like BluffBot has some rule that says never go all in on the flop when you are not about to lose (so you too can use this to your advantage by slowly taking the blinds form the pot). He will also folds 90+% of the time if you get him to bet a bit and then go all-in early. I did this until I had a dominant position and played normally, and beat him.

So a little earlier than I expected but I finished my first draft of my first ever Knol. I decided to stick to the basics of something I knew and went with a basic Maple tutorial. I hope to expand it and write more advanced Maple tutorials in the future. Anyway, click here to go to my first knol.

Ok so I am now officially trying to keep this up to date. I’ve decided I wanted to try and write a weekly article on something I know so I can contribute back to the internet community. I’d like to have my first article done by next Wednesday so if anyone stumbles across this they can have that to look forward to.

I’ve decided that I’m going to shift my efforts at TODO articles to knol for two reasons:

1.) It allows me to post to my site (through links) while being able to deliver information  to more people (due to certain bandwidth constraints).

2.) I can get some real feedback from interested people

I’ll still posts small stuff here but my longer walkthroughs and stuff will be going up on Knol and hopefully getting some more attention.

I just finished a tremendously long weekend and sadly have to make my schedule for the coming week which is finals. I will likely be making a post sometime around there, sorry for the delay, haven’t had time or ideas to post anything useful.

Nothing really new has come up and I’ve been insanely busy but I should be making an interesting update within two weeks and adding a page for the chess program I’m developing.

My roommate just got a kitten and we decided to allow it to interact with our ferrets. Seems that it likes to have a good tussle with my ferret Jean-Luc. Right now it’s not much of a challenge, but should be interesting to see what happens when the cat gets older. Here is part 1 of a series I’ll be updating every few weeks.

So I made this video back in the day when I first got my MacBook Pro. Sadly when my MacBook was destroyed I lost the original. Luckily I uploaded it to youtube, so it will always exist in a slightly distorted form for all the see.

Posting a whole lot more frequently lately. Maybe I’m just getting bored. I didn’t think two weeks away from a constant stream of school work would have this affect on me. Maybe I should have done more interesting things this past week. Oh well, Looking forward to a DC trip on Sunday.
