Over the last week, I’ve written a nifty tool that I call reptyr. reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and attaching it to a new terminal. Started a long-running process over ssh, but have to leave and don’t want to interrupt it? Just start a screen, use reptyr to grab it, and then kill the ssh session and head on home. You can grab the source, or read on for some more details.

Morning on my last day (hopefully) and, like a kid on the night before Christmas, I’m excited and nervous. But in some way it feels like my last Christmas. I have been a bit sad off and on. Not a bad sad, but I’ve spent so much time absorbing the peculiarities of this place that it is a bit hard to say goodbye to them, and to it. Last night I spent quite awhile in Comms, the place with the best view on the station, looking out over the sk....

This past weekend I went to GenghisCon. If I had to describe what kind of a convention GenghisCon is exactly, I would just call it an all things awesome convention. It has board games; it has workshops; it has panels about cryonics, cryptozoology, and other slightly weird stuff; it has video games. It has just about anything you can imagine doing if you decided to dedicate an entire weekend to having as much potentially geeky fun as you pos..

I'm going to poke my head in here to reassure everyone that the game is making steady progress. The environment now turns transparent when it gets in the way of the camera, and the player has some nifty new moves and mechanics, plus a very shnazzy looking power bar to indicate how much "juice" you have to perform special moves. The latest addition here is the skill roll, which prevents you from slowing down or dying when falling long distan..

I just noticed that there’s a new cursor_bind_capture_destination parameter in Oracle 11.2.0.2 (which is really more like Oracle 11gR3 version because of the large amount of new features in it, as opposed to just bugfixes). This parameter allows you to save some SYSAUX tablespace disk space – if the occasionally captured bind variable values (from V$SQL_BIND_DATA) take too much space. Normally these bind values (in a packed RAW form) ar..

Holy frozen Batman, I’m leaving tomorrow! I still have a lot I want to do! I was just getting into the swing of things! But I am also excited to leave. A colleague always says, “the best days at the South Pole are the day you arrive and the day you leave.” After all these years, that feels as true as ever. I know my time is short today because I have to: Pack (bags out by the station door known as “Destination Zulu” by 7 pm) Sort my ga....

I've recently been working for a colleague and a client on implementing a website and ecommerce site in Business Catalyst. Business Catalyst is a web publishing platform originally developed by a couple of Australians in 2004, but was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2009. It promises to be an all-in-one solutions for business websites (there's your red flag right there) with tight integration of it's online store, tracking and analytics. But t..

The Android platform is the latest buzz in the smartphone world. I have previously written on why I prefer Android over iPhone. In this article, we will talk a little bit about what it’s like to develop native applications for Android. Android SDK uses Java. I know Java but it’s not my favorite. After working with Python and Django for months, going back to Java isn’t exactly easy. But it’s not undoable either. Being from the Czech repu....

Apple recently unveiled their newest venture. It’s called the App Store, and I’m sure you’ve heard of it. It’s a place on your computer that lets you download and discover new applications. Just like the package manager on most Linux distributions. Except Linux has had ‘app stores’ for years. Welcome to 21st century computing, Apple.

Took tons of photos today… this morning we had a tour of the satellite antennas at the very end of Summer Camp. The weather was fantastic, maybe -15F with no wind and high clouds which shed a magic crystalline light on everything.

Hiking - www.joehxblog.com - 15 years ago - eng
At the start of the quarter, I found out that instead of charging by the credit hour, my school charges the same rate for twelve to eighteen credit hours. Since I was only taking fourteen credit hours, I decided to take a hiking class. I know, I know, hiking in winter? Yes, it was cold. But I met a few people, had fun, and got some exercise.

Every year there is a Christmas Day race here called the Race Around the World. The winner gets to go to McMurdo and run in a marathon there (and usually wins, since they are trained at high altitude). But flights yesterday got cancelled because all the Hercules C-130s had to go out to fi....

I was trying to find a good function/library which I could use to sanitize HTML using Javascript. Like many before me, I've spent a good number of programming hours/days/weeks in the past trying to write my own regular expressions to do this. But I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy to do that ever again. The techniques for XSS are many and advanced and you'll be fighting an uphill battle if you think you can "roll your own".

One thing that many people don’t realize is that the foundation of the video game industry, including terminology and techniques were solidified in the 1970s and early 1980s during the home video game movement! And the home gaming console that led to the most development in this area was the least technologically advanced one for its time: The 1977 Atari Video Computer System (VCS), later known as the Atari 2600.
