Second Day in Short
Dienstag, Juni 30th, 2009First Day Over
Montag, Juni 29th, 2009The First Day of the Training School is over. It was a long day and Alexander Konovalov and I kept sitting till half eight at the conference venue, because it was raining. Just got home from the dinner.
Also ICFP Contest ended today.
RISC Summer School
Sonntag, Juni 28th, 2009I arrived today in Linz, Austria. I’m staying here for two weeks. I attend the 4th RISC Summer School in Symbolic Computation. Should be tons of fun.
Meanwhile, I sit in my hotel room. I got my lunch, but have nothing for a dinner. And while fighting with headache I try for almost 24 hours now to find an ellipse equation from two tangents, tangential points and one focus. Analytically, of course. I have a repeated feal, I miss something very easy, but yet important. I really miss Marburgs‘ blackboards in such moments. And I really fight the thought that in few hours I’ll be hungry. to screw it all and to interpolate ellipse with splines.
Picture: a very tempting, but also a very wrong solution. (What’s wrong with it?)
ICFPC: The First Day
Samstag, Juni 27th, 2009We have ended the first day. It is about sattelite control. However we need to implement a virtual machine first.We are halfway through VM. Need to get it running, fix the binary output format and actually get something for a submission.
The Beginning
Freitag, Juni 26th, 2009The contest has begun. We have to write a virtual machine (OH NOES!) and to run some tasks on it and produce our own binaries for it. The topic is space navigation. Good that we have someone knowledgable in physics on the team.
Further thoughts: Haskell or not Haskell?
ICFP Contest Countdown
Freitag, Juni 26th, 2009The ICFP Programming Contest starts in a few hours. I am definitly taking part in it.
People on the IRC channel of the contest brainstorm why it begins at 13:00:16 local organizers‘ time and why do they have a picture of themselves in front of Icarus. <wishful thinking>We’ll need to control some failing satellite!</wishful thinking>
It lives!
Donnerstag, Juni 25th, 2009Hello, my dear world.
I am back to blogging, so I am starting this kind of blog again. I’ll blog about Haskell, math and other interesting things. But also something about my life, programming in general, interesting thoughts and so on.
I hope, you would like reading my postings. You can comment in English, German or even Russian.
