		<title>WordPress 2.9 Image/Media Upload Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, as I just spent a half hour fixing friends&#8217; blogs after the upgrade to WordPress 2.9, perhaps this will help someone else if it gets indexed by the search engines:
We were having problems with WordPress thinking that it was accepting uploads of images and trying to display them, but the files didn&#8217;t actually exist [...]]]></description>

		<title>For All the People Back on Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re old enough (well, not that old), odds are that you watched this live, or at some point. In what, as far as I can tell, was the first human non-terrestrial Christmas greeting, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders, after noting the lonely view below, read off Genesis 1:1-10, then,
&#8220;And from the crew [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIPS and spimbot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the CS232 spimbot competition was today. My partner (Connor Simmons) and I made a robot (actually just a piece of code) that came in second out of 37 (or 38?). It was a rather interesting competition. The page on it that I&#8217;ve set up (complete with MIT-licensed source code) is right here.
I remain impressed [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Illinois Basic Skills Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Illinois Certification Testing System&#8217;s Basic Skills Test is required for admission to any secondary education (high school, middle school) teaching program in Illinois. (Notably, I&#8217;m taking it today.) It has 126 questions:

48 Reading Comprehension Questions
42 Language Arts Questions
35 Mathematics Questions
1 Writing Assignment

So, nearly everyone taking the test has also taken the ACT (required in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Notes: Time, USPS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time
For some reason my computer&#8217;s clock got set a good 12 minutes ahead. I&#8217;m not exactly sure why, but it appears to have happened around a restart, perhaps due to a hardware clock that&#8217;s off, and the NTP daemon didn&#8217;t correct it. To manually reset the time based on a time server in Ubuntu, run
sudo [...]]]></description>

		<title>GraphSketch: 30,000 Graphs, and Parametric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, GraphSketch passed over 30,000 graphs rendered. That&#8217;s quite a few. Thanks to everyone for making it so popular.
It also seemed like a good time to release something I&#8217;ve been working on smoothing out for the past few weeks:
Yep, you can now graph parametric equations. Just head over to http://graphsketch.com/parametric (or click the &#8220;Parametric&#8221;mode just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Posters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A number of you who know me in real life have probably seen a number of my posters. Three of them currently adorn my dorm room. I had been offering them to friends I knew, but not to everyone, because I hadn&#8217;t gotten around to it. But that has changed now, with posters.lardbucket.org.

The website itself [...]]]></description>

		<title>PvPGN for a Private LAN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few notes on setting up PvPGN (the continuation of bnetd) for a private LAN. (The reason I&#8217;m setting it up is that I don&#8217;t expect to have an Internet connection for connecting to Battle.net proper, and would like to have the capabilities it provides, especially ladder games.) This post is generally much more technical [...]]]></description>

		<title>GraphSketch: Ten Thousand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In under three weeks since it was launched, GraphSketch has now been used to create (over) 10,000 graphs. It also has had over 3,500 visitors, coming from every continent except Antarctica, though many visitors haven&#8217;t graphed anything (and many visitors have graphed far more than average). Work on new features (parametric and polar graphing, among [...]]]></description>

		<title>GraphSketch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I spent the last few days working on GraphSketch, a new, free, online grapher. It&#8217;s available at http://graphsketch.com/ . Go check it out for a minute. Try graphing something like &#8220;(x-3)(x+10)(x-14)/100&#8221; or &#8220;tan(pi*x/10)&#8220;. I&#8217;ll wait.

Done? That&#8217;s pretty much it: Enter an equation, choose some settings, and graph it. There are a number of functions [...]]]></description>
