Schools of Georgia Tech

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Here is a snapshot of Georgia Tech’s Directory.

Each chapter here is information about the school, not a link to the school’s website.

College of Computing, IDT (tech art and design), and ECE are good schools for learning about computation.

Georgia Institute of Technology

Monday, August 29th, 2005

GeorgiaTech is the most achieved technical school in the southeast united states. Tech often referrs to itself as “the MIT of the South”, and has been known to make such remarks as MIT being “the Georgia Tech of the North”. We’re not going to even pretend to substantiate such claims here.

Unto this tome we shall present all known knowledge of Georgia Tech, past and present: programs, classes, teachers, buildings, systems, and any general spurious knowledge that won’t get anyone arrested.

Surely, we can say something good about The Shaft.

Miscellaneous Content

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Book pages that were never part of any book. School notes, non-atlhack projects, sandboxing.

atlhack wants YOU!

Sunday, August 28th, 2005

Books: (Or, 1000 Monkeys et al)

Atlanta Computing Resources contains links to Atlanta stores, programming groups, schools, jobs, and other tech resources. Atlhack Users Projects contains pages describing our projects. Add info if you can!

News: (Or, Roxor the Bloxors)

Last week I setup two feed categories to track atlhack-interesting content, prominently displayed in light-green sidebars (in the default theme). If you know of any cool tech feeds that fit the bill, please add them to the aggregator! Details below.

Maybe this can be a book page. For the sake of structure, I’m going to add my edits directly to the page. Comment to add to the list.

Atlanta Tech
Technical blogs of Atlanta developers. Right now we have Titus, Vinny, and Luke so that we may follow their exploits! If I start writing tech on this site, I’ll add my onsite blog to this feed as well. If you know any other Atlanta tech bloggers, ask permission and add them!

Everywhere Tech
More general technical articles and news. I tried to add some of the less traffic and more specialized blogs so we’d have a good mix of material, but this policy is definately up for discussion.

The Theory Blogs
Computational Complexity, Lowerbounds, Upperbounds, Machine Learning (Theory) – Hardcore theory blogs, but contain useful CS career articles and notes on formatting your TeX papers.

The Hacker Blogs
Hacking for Christ – Gerv hacks Mozilla.
Paul Graham – Well-spoken essayist, tech entrepreneur, and lisp hacker. Essential creative tech.

The Digital Music Blogs
Duke Listens – Paul Lamere, who works for Sun, talks about issues of interest to the Music Listening community.

Tech Culture
Wired News – Allow me to simulate Wired’s editorial bias. The future is here. GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GOGOGOGO!
Microsoft Watch – News from about the 800-pound gorilla in Redmond, WA.
Lifehacker – Software tools for improving your life in a general sense.
Lawrence Lessig – Proponent of copyleft and the free culture movement.

The Game Theory Blogs
Grand Text Auto – Game theory, culture, and new media links from a roundtable of experts, including Michael Mateas, a professor from Georgia Tech.

Software Design
Creating Passionate Users – Entertaining blog about creating useful software.

Stuff I Didn’t Add
Slashdot, BoingBoing – Wonderful resources, but ubiquitous and huge.

Stuff I’m Still Considering
We Make Money, Not Art – Plentiful source of tech arts.
