Getting the tree
The wind is furious that we have dared to come outside. We enter the woods quickly, and a door closes behind us. We are inside. This is the storehouse of winter. Here the snow is piled deep. Here the cones and berries are in abundance. Here are the trees.
We [...]

Experiments with audio, part V
I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element. Today I ponder arrays and fix some things.
Today is my last day of work before the Christmas break begins, and I just submitted my final grades. This gave me a little bit of time to rewrite some of my [...]

Why I don’t develop in .NET anymore
I don’t usually give much credence to The Register, but this article on .NET’s 10 year anniversary was spot on. The article asks whether .NET has lived up to its original promises from 2000. Here’s a choice quotation from the conclusion:
What if Microsoft used it?
A long-standing gripe is that Microsoft itself has been slow to [...]

Experiments with audio, part IV
I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element. Today I get raw data into the browser.
This blog post was going to be very different than the one you see now. That’s because our DOM code kicked my ass all day yesterday and into the night. I stopped [...]

Experiments with audio, part III
I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element. Today I add a new event to the audio element.
Last time I wrote that “I’m going to have to get this wrong before I get it right.” So here goes some “wrong that feels right.” Having located the proper [...]

Experiments with audio, part II.I
I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element. Today I give an update on yesterday’s progress, since there are pretty pictures, and then ask some questions.
Yesterday I wrote about our first steps to find and extract audio spectrum data from the <audio> element. At the end of [...]

Why I’m not a CEO
“God bless Tiger. This week, we got a huge uplift,” Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz said Tuesday in New York. She explained that the Tiger Woods sex scandal is more profitable online than Michael Jackson’s death because it’s easier to sell ads that appear alongside juicy content than funeral stories. [link]
Stay classy, Yahoo.

Experiments with audio, part II
I’m working on a project to try and expose audio spectrum data from Firefox’s audio element. Today I document some of my background research and initial first steps at locating this data.
The <audio> element is part of the html5 spec, and you can already use it in Firefox 3.5 and above. Here’s a page that [...]

Awake to the possibility of sleep
Boy, fixing overtired sure is tough. –@mhoye
I want to say something about sleep. I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately in the context of my students, who are in the middle of final assignments and exams. Watching them work on less and less sleep as the term progresses, I’m struck by how little we [...]
