In Search of the True Modulus (an epic)

So, at my office, we like to argue about programming concepts. Usually I bring them up as they relate to math, since I know more stupid little things about math than my co-workers, whereas they have a great deal more experience than me in just about everything else since they're all 30ish and have one foot in the grave. Anyway, here's a question (paraphrased) I posed to an interviewee:     Sadly, the interviewee was... misfortunate, and couldn't solve this, even though I practically wrote

Miserere Mei, Deus - 21st Century style

I took a music history class in college, and we had these listening tests where our professor would play 10-20 seconds of some song (usually opera, it was all 17th-18th century music), and we had to write down the composer, the genre, the title (usually Latin or Italian), the year it was composed, and some other stuff I can't remember. Anyway, one of the pieces was Gregorio Allegri's Miserere Mei, Deus, and I fell in love with it. It's purely choral, with a little chant.   Anyway, since I n

Ninja!

Nothing's sexier than three ninjas in purple jumpsuits running real fast. If you don't believe me, then you should watch these: Ninja Gaiden in 13:49 Ninja Gaiden II in 12:45 Ninja Gaiden III in 16:08

2600 Music Utility

So, I've wanted to make something like this for a while, but didn't have the motivation/skills/intelligence to do so. I've been teaching myself PHP for the last couple months, and thought this could be a good outlet. Also, I may use a derivative of this thing for my senior project, which is something like "using ternary continued fractions to derive tuning ratios." It sounds more awesome (or maybe less) than it actually is.   Anyway, what I've created is a keyboard (like a piano) of sorts t

Thanks a Million

Well, it nearly came to fruition. I added a new goal and gave up on another. Goal 2 Substituted Goal 1   Enjoy.

Sprite Editor

I was working on an improved version of the sprite editor applet I made a while ago, which kind of sucked, but then I abandoned it several months ago. Since my last final is tomorrow, I won't have access to my school's server, so I figured I'd post this now before it's too late. Maybe I'll get it done during the summer (coding during the summer? ha!).   Do it!   I'd list the features and stuff, but I don't really remember anything. I think things are pretty self-explanatory, and everythin

vgmuse

A little something I created with my birthday present. I find it intoxicating. Enjoy!   Sadly, errors were found. Crap-o-cities to the rescue!   Do it! (right click, save as, etc.)

See Jar Run?

So I finally figured out how to work this .jar crap, which makes java applications executable (i.e. running applets without an internet connection). They work on my machine, but I know very little about these .jar files and how they work. Can someone download these and tell me if they work? And if they don't, can you specify what happens, and what java stuff you have installed (jdk, platform, etc.)? Or, alternatively, if you know stuff, you can straight up tell me how these things work.

Doubleshot of Speed

I'm not sure how widespread SDA is, but it is a website full of videos of various nerds beating video games really fast. I am one of those nerds. Please watch my two newest additions, Kid Icarus and Contra. If you think you know stuff about Kid Icarus, you probably don't know as much as me, so please read my comments to understand why I did what I did. Enjoy!

Atarimusicology

I thought some of you might be interested in this, as it pertains to the 2600 (but mostly to music). I figured this was the best place to post it. This will undoubtedly be my longest (and maybe only) weblog entry (it's not a blog!).So, whilst I was working on some Metroid music for my brother, I began to get more familiar with the 2600's musical limitations. Stuff like frequencies, cents, and that kind of stuff. That boring stuff has always kind of intrigued me, so naturally, it piqued my in
