For those of you looking for an excellent way to explore programming in a concurrent programming language, and are ready to lead your own evil robotic warlord uprising, you should check out RoboDeb.
Granted, I need to write more documentation, but there are plenty of books and tutorials available for the occam programming language, as it [...] . . . → Read More: RoboDeb Away!

If only everything was easy…
To do a source release, we need the slinker. To do a source release that will work out-of-the-box on the MacIntel, we need the slinker running on the v300-series of MzScheme.
Yesterday, I finished what looks like a successful upgrade of the slinker to the most recent (301.14) version of MzScheme. This [...] . . . → Read More: From v209 to v301.14

In my last post I wasn’t actually trying to prove that foreigners are dirty. No doubt, someday, I’ll try and get a job, and this will tank my chances. I’ll be labeled a racist, pornographer, or some other nonsense, and *poof* no job for me. So, the question is: what inspired the post?

I don’t think I’ve got any readers yet. Helloooo! Big news! Big news!
So Bruce, Davin, Mik, and Poul (alphabetical by first name) rolled out version 0.9. Obviously it is time for me to up the ante and start showing you some of what is possible with Greenfoot. Or, to start exploring, and let you tag [...] . . . → Read More: Woot! 0.9 hit the streets!

Or, one or two people I know have been doing a lot of web searches while traveling!
Google has provided access to its trends data. OK. That’s cool. What do I spy with my little eye? Well, I wondered who has been searching for porn. In particular, the search phrase xxx.
Hm. It looks like porn is on . . . → Read More: Proof that Foreigners are Dirty

Peter, a friend from my time at IUB (and author of the most excellent Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, plug-plug), will be teaching his department’s CS0 next term. He was curious about the NXT, and more generally, about teaching with the LEGO Mindstorms. Here’s the email I sent back his way, with small edits.

It is frustrating watching all the Lego Mindstorms Developer Program weblogs. Many of them appear to be people who were randomly chosen to be in the program, and are now (apparently) maintaining weblogs about the robots they’re building.
So, I’ve realized that I could, after all, put my weblog to good use: I could write about some . . . → Read More: Teaching with LEGO

If I want to write about CS education and concurrency, I can write about it on the Transterpreter weblog.
If I want to write about things happening in the CS world “at large,” I can use the Untyping weblog.
Now, when I want to write about cool things in Greenfoot, I can use On Walkabout with Greenfoot.
