I was reading an article about the RISC OS operating system and the fact that it doesn't support multiple CPU cores. Then I got to thinking, how would one implement multi-CPU support on such an operating system? Between 1989 and 1994 I used a British computer running the operating system RISC OS . This operating system is still alive, and is still in use. It was produced by Acorn Computers and runs on the ARM processor (“Acorn Risc M..

L'Enfer du Nord" ( "The Hell of the North" ), "The Queen of the Classics" , "A Sunday in Hell" - call it what you will, Paris-Roubaix is legendary for being a tough classic race. It stands at 255km in length, with 52.8 km of rough, French pavé (cobblestones) - starting in Compiègne (60km from Paris), and ending in the velodrome in Roubaix.

Most of the projects I've been working on today have fairly strict code review policies. My work requires code review on most of our code, and as we bring on an army of interns for the summer, I've been responsible for reviewing lots of code. Additionally, about five months ago BarnOwl, the console-based IM client I develop, adopted an official pre-commit review policy. And I have a confession to make: I hate mandatory code review.

Beginners often find Twitter very confusing and useless. I think it’s because they come to it with some preconceived ideas, and when Twitter doesn’t fit their model they get frustrated. This series is meant to show why Twitter is so useful and how it’s different from other social networks. My family and I live in the city of Aberdeen in Scotland. My wife is originally from Halifax, Canada where her parents still live. In August of last ye....

Drop pods no longer sit in one place, they now roll around, freely dispersing their monetary goodness among the citizenry. They're quite light too, which means a single grenade can send one flying across the map, with your bots following in hot pursuit. Speaking of maps, Sector X is just about done! It's definitely our most massive map to date, and it has some interesting moments. So far the ring around the top has been great for sniping.

If you’re reading this blog, I probably don’t have to explain why I love GNU screen. I can keep a long-running session going on a server somewhere, and log in and resume my session without losing any state. I also love X-forwarding. I love being able to log into a remote server and work in a shell there, but still pop up graphical windows (for instance, gitk’s) on my local machine when I need to.

The main menu now has a global chat room, powered by some simple PHP/MySQL. The tutorial has been updated (it looks a LOT better), and the website received a makeover too! A lot of behind-the-scenes updates have been happening as well... the network code is becoming increasingly bulletproof, and several more physics bugs have been addressed. And now for the fun stuff... more multiplayer maps! The first one is called Gold, it's adapted dir..

Warning: This blog post is unusually technical for most of the posts here. The hosting provider I work for in Iceland has been having some problems with one of the servers. Turns out the problems are caused by a single website running Drupal and it has a lot of traffic.

Recently, I’ve been working on some BarnOwl branches that move more of the core functionality of BarnOwl into perl code, instead of C (BarnOwl is written in an unholy mix of C and perl code that call each other back and forth obsessively). Moving code into perl has many advantages, but one problem is speed – perl code is obvious a lot slower than C, and BarnOwl has a lot of hot spots related to its tendency to keep tens or hundreds of thous..

Jaron Lanier is a technologist who is known for coining the term “virtual reality” in the 1980s (he started VPL Research - the first virtual reality company). I saw him speak during on the of the debates at the Quantum to Cosmos festival last year (a Pi Institute event in Waterloo, Ontario), and quickly Googled him (since he was the only person during the debate who actually said anything worth listening to).

Idempotence means that running a command or function several times produces the same result as running it only once. This is an very important design principle that is a blessing when used appropriately and a scourge when not used where warranted. For analogy, imagine you ask a housemate (or butler if that's how you roll) to empty the dishwasher. They dutifully go over there, open the dishwasher door, and find it's already empty. How do ....

Yesterday, Google released the "Google Font Directory": A list of free fonts that can be embedded and used directly from their site. It's a promising service and a good boost for fonts on the web. However, I wanted to try to use one of the fonts for this blog and the results were pretty surprising.

I bit the bullet and added the sidebar on this blog's theme. I wanted to keep the blog design really simple and clean with no side column, but I think it's easier to browse the articles etc when you have the categories, etc.
