I was surprised to learn that there hasnt been an update to direct input from direct 8.

Django, Centos,

Icon 1 Comments
So I've been developing using Django. Long story short: it rocks.
The client uses 1and1 for their hosting, with a dedicated server, and they're happy for me to replace their PHP-driven site with Python. So I decided to do the install early on. Turns out that 1and1 (who are one of the crappiest hosting providers I've ever used) mean a...

How to make all of your team members a star player? Raise their productivity and here...

The Deutsch-Josza Algorithm

Icon Leave Comment
Today I'm going to post a paper I wrote on the Deutsch-Josza algorithm a while ago. The practicality of this algorithm may be a bit contrived when observing the problem it solves. However, the problem itself is not of prime importance. In contrast the ability for a quantum computer to solve this trivial problem better than a classical one...

I am moving a website created in Classic ASP to a 64-bit server. I updated my Include Statements, file folder paths, and connection strings. But this one cookie is giving me grief. It won't pass on to other pages. My co-worker, who is more knowledgeable than I, said it was the path of the cookie which pointed to the original folder...

Boredom: Inspiring.

Icon Leave Comment
Sometimes, when boredom's solid hand has taken grip of my wandering mind, I ramble. I will find myself segued in a, more often than not, unrelated story, talking utter nonsense, complete bullshit. Boredom, being the awkward shit it is, will then take my mind to other places, leaving me to forcefully finish a story I now have no interest in.
