My wife has a wizzbang Garmin GPS navigator and its worth every penny she paid for it. Driving in Boston is pretty much the worst fate a human can suffer but its quite tolerable if you have a smart navigator. Being a diy guy I’d like to build my own and thanks to […]

I have just posted a write up on an elegant mutexless circular buffer without concurrency issues. A colleague shared the theory with me and I wrote it up. Its implemented in C without many dependencies since it is intended for use in a kernel module so I didn’t want to loose any clever […]

I have often complained to the lumpypear crew that nobody uses EXIF data for comments in images. Instead you have to maintain an external database that somehow relates the comment to an image. Inevitably this database will be lost, the filename will change, or something else will happen and all that work is lost. Thank […]

I saw pycallgraph on freshmeat today so spent a couple minutes playing with it. Initial impression is good and I’m looking forward to stretching its legs out soon.
