*Whomp* (sound of my hitting the couch after eating here)Oof. A large amount of very good grub. Bacon? Check. Breading? Check. Butter? Check. Waist? Um, need to check that...Some ex-Berkeley…
Now that's better. Live music, relaxed atmosphere, and strong drinks. It's always interesting the difference in strength even when you order straight whiskey... Here, well, you'll be enjoying a…
Hm. What should someone who is far, far away from the target market use to review a place? It's a club. It's too loud to meet people and talk unless you stand outside the bathrooms. The drinks…
Wow. I have no idea who you are. I have no idea what you do. All I know is that you rock, I hope whatever show you lead comes through Atlanta, and that it's cheap enough I can afford it. Otherwise, I don't want to know what you do ahead of time. I'd much rather be surprised, giddy, shocked, happy, outraged, smiling, and everything else all rolled up into one evening. Or day, but I suspect venues only want evening.However, if you're not due to visit ATL in the next 6-8 months, I'll have to find out who you are. I'm not at all sure that'll reduce the surprise, giddiness, shock, happiness, outrage, smiles, or anything else.And that's neat and not at all tidy. Wonderful.

My brain is Lisp-damaged. I always have seen SGML (and later XML) as s-expressions. Check Naggum's writings for a much more informed and reasoned view on the same topic. That's just how I think about these things. They're trees, not text. BTW, the boundary isn't fuzzy but dynamic.I'm not sure about exchanging executable code without firm semantics. Security and all that, ya know? The new American obsession. (See also Parenscript.)

Ya know, with #OMB each TV show could have its own site for "livebloggers." Then we could not subscribe.
I had forgotten how much I enjoy making bread. I cheat and use a stand mixer, and I *still* love it.
Incapable of coherent thought, but not yet capable of incoherent thought. Tired.
Took the last of my Sumatra Lintong through a slow, deep roast. Hope I kept the spice notes. !homeroast.
Augh. Posting has been broken for a bit, and I didn't notice. Reposting a few.
Georgia Tech CSE Seminar, Friday, August 21,2009 Solving a square linear system Ax=b often is considered a black box. It’s supposed to "just work," and failures often are blamed on the original data or subtleties of floating-point. Now that we have an abundance of cheap computations, however, we can do much better. A little extra precision in just the right places produces accurate solutions cheaply or demonstrates when problems are too hard to solve without significant cost. This talk will outline the method, iterative refinement with a new twist; the benefits, small backward and forward errors; and the trade-offs and unexpected benefits.
Presentation on distributed weighted bipartite matching (linear assignment problem) given at Cerfacs.
A stab at optimizing the inner loop for auctiion-based, sparse bipartite matching.

Thank you! I’ve always envied graffiti artists…

I think I’ll come back to this prompt in the future; I really like the photo. Thanks! Posting inline because I haven’t yet set up a good spot elsewhere.
Caps cracked on the hour, hazing aerosol incense scribes work silently. People fade with dawn’s light. Illuminations remain.
