Well. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? It probably would have been much longer, too, except that as of May 1st, Blogger no longer supports blogs hosted via FTP (which is what this blog used to be).
So, I was finally forced to make the switch to WordPress. I’ve tried to be careful about preserving [...]
I was just thinking to myself that it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new Carnival of Mathematics, and sure enough when I checked the calendar I found that the 11th edition is now up at Grey Matters. Hmmm, none of the math/cs blogs I read regularly posted any announcements about this; [...]
There’s a new meme making its way through the blogosphere that I think I will indulge myself with. Although I have not been tagged (as usual) for the “Why do I blog” meme, I have come across it in a few different spots such as Aetiology and A Blog Around The Clock. This [...]
I have in the past thought that, the only features that Blogger was lacking that I really missed were the ability to categorize posts and to set up feeds for the comments. So, when the new version of Blogger came out with these features now supported, I figured my blogging life was complete.
Unfortunately, in [...]
It’s now been more than 3 months since I last updated this blog, which is far too long even given the subject matter of my last post. The reason is that my family and I just moved from Pennsylvania to Florida. For most of the past month my computer has been packed away [...]
Hello again,
As I mentioned a few posts ago, when I decided to set up this blog on its own domain, one of my goals was to have an accompanying website where I can collect various resources relating to theoretical computer science. There is a limit to how many links you can stuff into the [...]
Hi again everyone,
Well, I’m sad to say that I’ve spent most of my free time for the past week just learning the basics of blogging. The Blogger interface itself is intuitive and you can pretty much just learn it as you use it. But as with other technological innovations, there is a temptation to fritter [...]
Just a short post tonight to point out the obvious, which is that this blog now has a new URL and a new name: Learning Computation.
I was thinking about the fact that eventually there may be a lot of images embedded in these posts, and there needs to be a place to store those images [...]
To reiterate from my last post, my goal for this blog is to use it as a sounding board for my studies in the theory of computation. I plan to regurgitate whatever I’ve been reading, in the hopes that by summarizing and explaining it here, my own understanding will be enhanced. If I do a [...]
As my last post shows, I have the P vs. NP bug, and I have a poor memory.
While I’m not going to claim to have any chance of proving P != NP (since that would make me seem like just another Internet crank), I do think that amateurs can make contributions to the field of [...]
