Just thought I’d post this up, since I was always wondering/searching the internet for timelines and things that were/weren’t normal. Who knows if our experiences were actually normal, but here is what it was:

gpodder Error Fix/Workaround: Runtime...
This error has vexed me for awhile now.
Bug 1489 on their site. https://bugs.gpodder.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489
One fix I was using for awhile was to reboot in safe mode and run gpodder to update my podcasts
Luckily someone came up with a way to get gpodder to run from the command line after resetting the PATH.
I’ [...]
Google Code Jam 2012 Round 1A –...
Have you ever been part way through typing your password and thought that maybe you messed up?
Is it better to delete and start over or just finish out and hope you didn’t mess up? Are you pretty sure, if you did mess up, it was in the last letter you typed – so maybe deleting one letter and retyping would be best?
Have no fear, i [...]
Google code jam 2012
Well, now that I am a ‘real’ programmer, I thought this would be easy. The qualifying rounds usually are anyway. Unfortunately I just moved and started a new job and have three little boys keeping me busy. Well I only had a little bit of time to put in and I had very little sleep, but I did the first two of four problems and got t [...]
Annals of Neurology Cover!
Yeah, we got the cover! Granted this particular journal doesn’t have very large images on the cover and they only have a very miniature version of the cover online (so I had to scan it and and put it on my blog for anyone to see it). BUT still, my pretty pictures made the cover
Oh yes, and the research article is good too (p. 4 [...]
My #WPAppItUp Prototype – STuMP
Here’s my sketchflow quick mock up for a windows phone app (game). Click here.
The idea being direct competition between people for these brain teaser type games and quizzes. Fun and good brain exercise.
I’ll develop it if I win a developer phone

Welcome Nathan Patrick 6/1/11 11:11am
Big year for my family! We’re finishing up here at UC Irvine with my PhD, looking for a new job and possibly moving (contact me if you hear of something), and now the family has grown from 4 to 5! Nathan was born June 1st. 3 boys in the family! (Well 4 if you count me). It’s great fun (and sometimes great drama).
In your face Rummy and Python! :)
This is kind of a random post, but it relates back to a previous post about Academia.
As I am finishing my PhD in July, I’m thinking about the future. I will have a position in my current lab as a Research Associate Specialist III (I think that’s what it’s called?) after I graduate while I look for a job – thank [...]
Academia: A Broken System – F...
As I wrap up my PhD, I can’t help but to ask myself if I will consider myself a ‘failed academic’ or a ‘bailed academic’.
I mean, I’m no Charlie Sheen, I can’t turn tin cans into gold or anything; but I’ve always been pretty successful at everything I’ve tried. Now, it’s not like I h [...]
Sharing printers from 64-bit(or 32-bi...
This is SO ABSURD, but I thought I would put this here so I could personally find it. And hopefully others will be helped by it. The switch-over from 32-bit OS to 64-bit is on. And for the most part it is fine. But WHY sharing a printer is so insanely hard I have no clue!
Here’s what you have to do
1) Share Permissions

Off topic: Synergy, Live Writer, and ...
Before I finish up my new guide on how I set up my current lab ELN, I wanted to organize things and fix little nuisances.
Synergy
It may be a cheesy business buzzword, but it’s also a simple and wonderful little program. Synergy is a small program that you can install on multiple computers which allows you to use a single keyboa [...]
