20 April 2006 – Happy Birthday Ginny and EK!

Since Last Week:

Vinny-
Researched Lisp MOOs and played with scsh-surflet.
Listening to CS61A at UC Berkeley – SICP, Video of Abelson and Sussman.

Erik-
Subwey- control security circumvention for iframes.
Social bookmarking software sucks – once you give feedback it should disappear.

Graham-
Relearning web service clients on win32.

This weeks plans:

Vinny-
Reading about Lisp reflection – Translucent Procedures, Abstraction w/o Opacity. Rozas ’93 (MIT)

Erik-
Subwey- working on algorithm for efficiently traversing DOM tree.

Graham-
Simple web client.

This week’s reality:

Vinny-
Nobody on #scheme knows about scheme reflection. Reading and writing closure might break Rees security model. You could bypass any code that protected variables in the closure.

Erik-
Fixed a crapton of bugs. Started with the DOM traversal algorithm.

Graham-
Tried using the Sam Ruby Atom client, but something’s wrong with auth.

GPU programming libs?

Do any atlhackers have any experience with programming GPUs without using openGL or DirectX?  I’ve only heard of Brook for general GPU programming and I was wondering if there were any other public resources out there…

Citeseer
Hyperlinked CS research database. It also mirrors the papers linked from the web, which is quite useful.
