====== Dave Ackley ====== Associate professor of Computer Science, professing all things associated with Robust-First Computing and indefinitely scalable computer architecture. ===== News ===== * **15-Sep-2014 05:56:59PM-0600**: My best 1T Egg Drop: {{ :people:1t-sb-dhs-17.png?640 }} and its resulting dynamics:{{ youtube>XsL5Kn7g2ZI?large }} * **07-Sep-2014 03:44:35PM-0600**: Added a page about [[introduction:making_an_mfm_video|Making an MFM video]], and a slightly-customized version of the 'vshare' plug-in to allow embedding youtube videos in web pages. Yay for open-source and github making it so easy to apply a quick fix. * **25-Aug-2014 01:58:35PM-0600**: Umm, configured the timestamp a little better! * **2014-Aug-25 01:57:08PM -0600**: Added the timestamp plugin! It's the clock at the end of the toolbar! * **24-Aug-2014**: Spent a chunk of the day writing comments about the simulator running/pausing state machine, about evenly divided between documenting the existing and new design. Threaded code is just so deadly; an ice-nine drop of asynchronous parallelism in a serial deterministic world. The new state machine seems like it should be overkill but I'm not convinced! * **18-Aug-2014**: First day of class!
