Hackfest 1100 Mortem

Nov 10 2005 Hackfest 1100

Since last week:
Ben-
Slept a lot and watched a lot of TV. Profs give no love.

Luke-
Learning about ARM processor – current issue with booting kernel is with finding and setting the page table.

Vinny-
Diagnosed server for rootkit, removed unnecessary services. Suggested I try debugging writeWithSpeedup with constant width segments. Got rails running with fastCGI – spawns server and maintains state.

Graham-
Did 2 class projects, worked on debugging writeWithSpeedup.

Grant-
Was in China for ICCV. Tsing Hua university – GaTech of Beijing. Presented on parts-based tracking of bees.

Plan for this week:
Ben-
Focus more on watching the same show and stringing together episodes on different networks. Worked out bugs, want to figure out another way to autograde, as opposed to using reflection to check for methods. How can you autograde data structures?

Luke-
Trying to find the page table ptr. The ptr isn’t addressable from the palm.

Vinny-
Broke commotion, so he’s going to fix it. With rails up, set up scrapers to dump to database.

Graham-
Debugging writeWithSpeedup, reading SWIMM code.

Grant-
Evolutionary war next iteration. Roadtesting spoontease utilities (procedurally generated media).
He let me play his video game, evolutionary war.

Matt-
Studying up on sysadmin/tcpip/programming stuff for an interview.

Tonight’s reality-
Ben-
Fixed a bug – took out unnecessary stuff in the framework.

Luke-
Segments seem to be 1MB in size – learning more about memory system.

Vinny-
Debugging commotion – broke out properties were contained in nodes, but abstraction broke deserialization.

Graham-
Combining stereo channels is bad. This is probably the bug.

Grant-
Confirmed that his powerbook can compile and run networkable Evowar.
