Java Email Address class

By admin On November 6, 2006 · 42 Comments

UPDATE: This Java class was updated on February 1st, 2008 to account for domain literals and quoted strings such as “John Smith” <john.smith@somewhere.com>. It is now effectively the only complete and semantically correct email validator for Java.

PETTY REQUEST: The update required considerably more effort than the original as it now accounts for all valid [...]

The Hazlewood System of Units

By admin On August 17, 2006 · Leave a Comment

In my opinion, scientific measurements should be represented via unmovable, logical, and absolutely atomic units that would be the same at all locations in the universe (at least given our current understanding of the universe).

I think its absolutely ludicrous that the most advanced scientific experiments and quantum theory today have data sets that are [...]

Connecting to Ingres 2006 on Linux via JDBC

By admin On August 2, 2006 · 2 Comments

Ok, I had a hell of a time trying to get this figured out. It seems like my Ingres 2006 install environment did not match the documentation on the ingres website, which looks to be docos for the older r3 product. This seriously sucked. C’mon guys – get the docos right.

Anway, here’s what I [...]

Americans should get out more

By admin On July 13, 2006 · 2 Comments

I’m so amazingly fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to travel out of this country a few times. To experience other cultures first hand is just a great life experience, and I can say that it definitely changed my life. I’m far more interested in international affairs and cultures than I would ever be if [...]

Traceroute to PirateBay.org

By admin On June 15, 2006 · 5 Comments

I think this is absolutely freaking hilarious. A friend pointed me to a traceroute to the PirateBay.org – which shows an awesome host name for their domain. I’ve included the traceroute below for your viewing pleasure. But if you need a little background first:

For those of you who don’t know, the PirateBay.org makes .torrent [...]

I've failed…

By admin On June 15, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Ok, I suck.

I knew I would go for a period of time when I didn’t post anything on this blog. Sometimes I get really bad about those things. Its been 2 months for God’s sake! No excuse…

Oh well, I’m back, and I’ll be posting shortly. For the 1 or 2 people who actually [...]

Ryan vs Dorkman – Light Saber Duel

By admin On April 19, 2006 · Leave a Comment

I found a truly entertaining video of two teens who choreographed, filmed, and edited a light saber duel. Using a Canon GL-1 camcorder and Adobe After Effects, these guys produced something that looks truly professional. It took about 4 months in their spare time to make 5 minutes of video.

This is one of the [...]

かわいい (Cute) to Death

By admin On April 9, 2006 · 4 Comments

So, I started taking Japanese classes a couple of weeks ago, and I really like what I’m learning. The language is actually very easy once you get the patterns down. Much easier than say, Latin or Spanish.

Anyway, as I’ve alluded to before, I like to immerse myself as much as I can when learning [...]

Google Maps is Awesome

By admin On March 28, 2006 · 3 Comments

Ok, I know Google Maps has been out for a long time now, but I just wanted to proclaim yet again at how incredibly cool it is.

Here are some recent direction results:

10. Take exit 5 to Dunwoody/Sandy Springs – go 0.3 mi
11. Turn left at Abernathy Rd NE – go 0.2 [...]

Delving deeper into languages – Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, Romaji

By admin On March 9, 2006 · 1 Comment

So I wrote in my last post about my Utada Hikaru interest. Well, I really loved the songs, but there was one problem – I don’t speak Japanese.

For those who don’t know me, this kind of thing drives me crazy – If I find something really interesting, I have to learn as much [...]
