I write stuff here when I feel like it.
I recently encountered a scenario in a class I’m taking where there was a big argument about what should be done with unfair questions on an exam. The discussion appeared to be entirely centered on intuition and emotions, so I decided to settle the matter with mathematics. I think this information could be useful to teachers in a similar predicament.
It’s been 3 years since I wrote this story about joining the FSF, so I figured it was a good time to write another one of these updates to catch anyone up who happens to care.
This all started from my interest in old hardware. I’d acquired an old 90s laptop PC from a coworker, and I decided to install FreeDOS on it. While browsing the available FreeDOS software, I stumbled upon PowerPaint 2, an image editor. I decided to give it a try, and I made a very amusing doodle that I simply had to get onto my main PC.
I’ve been writing a standard C library for the Nintendo Game Boy system over at
Delwink, and now I’ve got a working Pong prototype game. It still needs some
more features yet to be added to the library, but it’s a playable game! Check
it out on GitHub, or clone

I made a new program in response to a challenge, and it has turned out to be a
useful learning tool. See it on GitHub, or clone
https://github.com/2mac/ttt.git using Git to check it out. Be sure to first
read the README file before getting started.
This will be the first of many future updates about my personal life. I figure it’s been a bit long since I had any good news. The past month hasn’t been too interesting for me, but it’s nice to look back at recent events and assure myself that I haven’t just been rotting away for a month.
