What I learned this week, 1
--
This might seem like a ridiculous thing, but I've decided to
start a self indulgant series of posts called, "what I learned
this day/week/month/etc". It is no catalog of what I know be-
cause there will surely be things that I will forget, but I think
it is a good exercise nonetheless. It is also a good reason to
post regularly. Ideally, it will be something I do at the end of
each week unless I get inspired one fine day or feel like I
learned nothing in a week's time. So, with out further ado, here
is my list:
- what a planar graph is and why I should care
- how to set up CGI::IRC under apache2
- that CPAN traffic being served from my mirror can be mistaken for my server launching buffer overflow attacks
- how to use 'split' and 'cat' to safely break up a file in order to transfer it piece-meal using a thumbdrive of limited size
- a little bit about Lisp and functional programming, but not nearly enough to do anything useful
- that the hardware store sells nifty plugs that let you seal a pipe with no threads
- how to run a hybrid openmp/mpi application on an IBM p5 575 cluster
- that I am not as good in Perl as I thought
- how to propagate "cast iron" plants
- how to set the auto-notify option for project issues at googlecode
- that I don't know much at all
There are things that I learn from everyone I meet. Not just
some, but everyone. And it is not just limited to one thing - I
often learn new things every day from people I see every day. I
hope to never forget these things, so this is another reason I
want to catalog them.
