Programming: 17 April 2008
The semester is almost over and I cannot wait. There are so many things I'd rather be doing than Differential Equations. For instance:
- Writing x86-64 assembly
- Attempting to write useful patches for X, Mesa, xf86-video-ati, et al.
- Learning Alpha Assembly
- Working on my HP Alphaserver DS20L, specifications are as follows
- Dual 833 MHz EV68ALs with 4MB external L2 cache each
- 2 GB ECC Registered RAM
- Radeon X1550 256MB PCI
- 18 GB 15K RPM SCSI Drive
Unless someone corrects me, I'm going to say this is the first Alpha/R500 combination. This may also mean it is the first Linux/Alpha box to have a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0. It even fits in a nice 1U case.
I've also posted a nice piece of x86-64 assembly using SSE3. See my leibniz pi code page.

I've spent the last few days collecting tools, ROMs, and information on flashing PC version Radeons for usage in Macs. To save those of you interested, I've created a page with all of this information in one spot.

My Physics Equations are online. They provide a pretty good reference for basic mechanics, sounds, thermodynamics, light, electricity, and circuts. I'm continuing to add to this section of my site. We're currently studying magnetism in class now so expect it to be the next addition.
If you notice any sorts of errors, be it with the actual equations, the HTML, or otherwise, please contact me.

I've added a Server Status page to my web site. It's somewhat interesting and prevents me from having to ssh into it in order to do a routine check.

The web server is now running lighttpd. The Apache configuration files, and the Gentoo Apache Team constantly changing their format and locations got on my last nerve.
I've been very pleased with lighttpd. I think the configuration files are much more straight forward than Apache. Everything should work the exact same other than SVN and SSL which I'm not sure were working correctly in the first place.
