Jul 252005
This is the longest time I’ve gone between posts since I started this blog (which, astoundingly, was over a year ago). Well, I’m not dead, and life goes on. So…what have I been up to and/or thinking about? In no particular order:
- It’s been approximately 10,000 °F here in Nebraska for the past 3 weeks; however, this weather pattern should finally break this evening.
- Sampled wine at James Arthur Vineyards with Henry and Clay on Saturday; we then went on to watch Sideways afterwards.
- Canoed the Niobrara River around Valentine (with Lincoln, Henry, and Meagan) July 16-17. If I had remembered to take my camera along, there would be pictures for you to look at.
- Saw Gaelic Storm at July Jamm. You should buy one of their albums.
- Brewed and bottled: 5 gallons of Belgian witbier. It’ll be peaking just in time for entry at the Nebraska State Fair.
- I know how to eat with chopsticks. My parents didn’t know I could do so before Friday.
- Nearly every time I walk around downtown Lincoln, I think about how a greedy algorithm determines how I can walk from place to place in a (mostly) optimal manner.
A deterministic greedy algorithm or a randomized one?
this is how my greedy algorithm works: try to cross the streets that are hardest to cross first. if you can’t cross them, walk parallel to them until you can cross.
