My Work

Mathematics

• The Expected Varation of Random Bounded Integer Sequences of Finite Length (pdf, tex)

  This is a paper that has been published in the International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences. It has my name on it. That's about all I contributed.

• Enumerating Compositions with Bounded Parts by Variation (pdf, tex)

  This is actually my work. The previous paper referenced this one, so I decided that it should be made available to the public. I wrote this because it was a condition of our grant. Thus, if you're expecting a formal discussion, then you don't know me very well.

• Fast Polynomial Interpolation

  This is a little article I've written about determining a polynomial to fit a given set of points and their derivatives.

Computer Science

• Class::Classless::DBI

  This is a perl module. It's something I am developing in conjunction with Meset. It is a classless object-oriented database interface where each table is represented by an object.

• Boot Linux Faster by Starting Services in Parallel

  This is an implementation of a method to boot Linux faster. Note that it is mostly unmaintained, as my current setup is incompatible with it.

• Meset File System

  This is an abstract concept for a new file system. Instead of the usual directory structure, files may be given one or more category to which they belong and searched accordingly.

• Spiral menus
  Status: Under Development

  This is a concept for a new type of menu. Entries spiral out from the center, which remains empty so that the menu can always be closed without having to move the mouse (try opening a standard menu in the bottom right corner of your screen). It also takes advantage of muscle memory for smaller menus while being easier to design than pie menus, since the entries are rectangular. However, it may be more difficult to search the menu for items.

• Fluxbox Files

  This is a collection of various work I have done for the Fluxbox window manager. It includes patches, configuration files, and so forth.

• Patches

  This page contains patches for other open source projects that I've needed to modify over time.

• Javascript Games

  Here you will find some random javascript diversions that I have written.
