You start to get a feeling of the immensity in the amount of data in The Orchive when you've been copying data between two USB 2.0 hard drives and it has already taken 10 hours, and only about half way done and this is just for one year in the 20 years of recordings.

COMING UP AT UVIC
THE PERFECT STORM: OCEAN RESEARCH AND FINE ARTS: In this free public
lecture, UVic Dean of Fine Arts Sarah Blackstone will illustrate how
Canadian art relates to oceans and coasts and how research and
creative activity truly are synonymous.
?Scientists look at oceans and coasts in one way, artists
look through a different lens at the same data,? says Blackstone.
?Creative artists have long been researching oceans and coasts and
bring a unique perspective to the opportunities and challenges
contained in these subjects. If we unite the scientific findings with
the artistic ones, our understanding of problems will be more complete
and the solutions we propose will be more likely to succeed. For
example, the issue of climate change got a lot more attention?and
perhaps more respect?after Al Gore took the data and made a movie out
of it.?
?The Perfect Storm: Ocean and Coastal Research Meets the Fine Arts?
Wednesday, 27 Jan. from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Fine Arts Building, Room 103
Admission is free.

API
Joshua Bloch: Bumper-Sticker API Design
All programmers are API designers.
APIs can be among your greatest assets or liabilities.
Public APIs, like diamonds, are forever.
APIs should be easy to use and hard to misuse.
APIs should be self-documenting.
When designing an API, first gather requirements?with a healthy degree of skepticism.
Structure requirements as use-cases.
Early drafts of APIs should be short.
Code the use-cases against your API before you implement it.
Maintain the code for uses-cases as the API evolves.
Example code should be exemplary.
You can't please everyone so aim to displease everyone equally.
Expect API-design mistakes due to failures of imagination.
API design is not a solitary activity.
Avoid fixed limits on input sizes.
Names matter.
If it's hard to find good names, go back to the drawing board.
When in doubt, leave it out.
Keep APIs free of implementations details.
Be wary of overspecification.
Minimize mutability.
Documentation matters.
Consider the performance consequences of API design decisions, but don't warp an API to achieve performance gains.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Minimize accessibility.
Subclass only if you can say with a straight face that every instance of the subclass is an instance of the superclass.
Design and document for inheritance or else prohibit it.
Don't make the client do anything the library could do.

Working Out As A Programmer

I dunno, I kinda like working out, it's nice to turn off the brain for a while.

flex marsyas
I just got my first Flex program that talks to Marsyas and gets data via a network socket connection running!
I did it in Python, and it appears there is more that I need to learn about threads on Python when working with Marsyas. I have two threads going, one with Marsyas in it and one with a function that prints values, and the value printing thread only gets called intermitantly.

wow
Holy, I am running Windows 7 host with Ubuntu guest inside of
VirtualBox. Works amazing.
Anyways, got Flex Builder running on Windows, it's really sweet,
much better than the Linux Alpha version.
So, I mounted my Windows drive to be accessible by my user id in
/etc/fstab:
sness /winsness vboxsf uid=500,gid=500,convertcp=iso8859-1 0 0Then you just have to edit files in Emacs on Ubuntu and the changes show up automagically in Eclipse. In Emacs on Ubuntu you will want to revist the files you change on Eclipse with:
C-x C-v - runs the command find-alternate-fileBut Emacs will warn you about this if you try editting them. Eclipse seems to figure out when files have changed and automatically rebuilds them. Nice, but spooky!
