Ever wanted to read Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page’s “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine”? Or Donald E. Knuth’s “Computer Programming as an Art”? But wait, there’s more!
 I’d also like to add to this list one of the best historical books written on computers and their development, The Universal History of Computing, by George Ifrah. I just finished reading this book and must say it is one of the most thorough historical tellings of computing I have ever read.

Interesting article finally explaining a good way to remotely monitor memory usage in Linux/UNIX/Windows.
I finally have a utility that can parse all the memory, and network stats from both my linux box and my windows server box.
Time to get this puppy setup…

“This year GNOME received 181 applications to Google’s Summer of Code program, yet none were from women. As a result, they’ve decided to address this imbalance by launching an outreach program to sponsor three female students to work on GNOME-related projects this summer.”
Most any science department will tell you that the amount of interest and involvement of women pales next to men of similar age and background. Is this sponsorship a creative way to get women interested in GNOME, or is it merely sexist?
Sara I think this is your opportunity to get involved in the summer of code, and with your favourite thing ever C! You have to take this opportunity or I will be really mad at you, you gotta embrace C at some point.

Well recently I’ve started to play with Rails, no not the one that you put trains on the Ruby Framework for developing web applications. I’ve been following along with some books, and I cannot believe how amazingly quick you can create robust well defined web applications. Had I been familiar with this more I would have done most of the Yellow Pages Stuff in it and been done in half the time.
Speaking of Yellow Pages, I went for a meeting this week, and I have a job there for me this summer which will start after my first semester of summer school in late June. It should be fun going back to work for them, they were really great to me last year and I really enjoyed my time there. Plus it’s good to keep networking within their organization since I have an interest to work for their IT department after graduation.
Also I’m taking summer school, like I mentioned above to try and finish faster. From May to June I’m taking a hummanities course in popular culture, from June to August it’s integral calculus, and for the whole summer 1 night a week it’s Computational Set Theory YAY 
Let’s just get this semester over with and I’ll start worrying about the next one.

Well I quickly threw together a page to host all of my old itunes installs that I have laying around. I’ve noticed more and more that people are looking for these especially as iTunes gets more intrusive and bloated.
I go all the way back to Version 4.1, if anyone has anymore versions laying around feel free to contact me and I’ll post them up.
If you haven’t noticed the link already here is another one Old Itunes Installers
Oh and what’s new in my life … not much school and work how interesting 
Enjoy Everyone
