First post in almost 5 months. Yeah!
I really should get back into the swing of writing this thing.
Well 4th has been happening and I’m happily happening with it. I will (hopefully and doubtfully) write about each of the modules I’m doing, but thats for another day. So a few things for today.
Dissertation – Map Reduce in Java
Not going to say much about this yet. Check out my requirements document (which actually doesn’t really cover the requirements much) here. There will be another deliverable due in three weeks, I’ll also be posting that one here.
Finally got my head around the time dilation when traveling at relativistic velocities. I never got this when they banged on about it physics (it was first year, I hardly made a lecture back in those heady days) but the book I’ve just finished (Joe Hadleman’s Forever War) goes on about it, explaining the effects of it but never going into the science behind it. I reckon linking up the two has helped me see the light. Well, relatively. Any way I’ve got the two sequels to read through now.
Kind of forgot why I started this blog. I think my first post said that it had something to do with cheese. Oh well. Merry Pip!
