Colo

  • Configured things like webdav svn, viewvc, and awstats
  • Shipped the machine to the colo in miami

Programming

  • I hand solved then wrote a program to solve sliding block puzzles like this: http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/slidingblock/slidingblock.html
  • Working on code to analyze heuristics/encodings/algorithms to solve puzzles like this when I do not have the memory/filesystem space for a standard BFS solution.
