RBEQ Users, take note
ATTENTION! I’m no longer really using this space; I’ve put all of my online accounts together and merged them under a new domain: ballpointcarrot.net. The project (which currently does not work with GNOME3, I know, I’m working on it), as always, can be found at Google Code. Thank you to everyone who has used and [...]

Ruby Prime Generation
For a possible job in the Seattle area, one of my prospective employers is having me submit some solutions to problems found on Project Euler. While working on a particular issue, I’ve discovered that the method I’ve used for calculating the list of prime numbers performs better than the stock Prime class that is provided [...]

Here we go again.
So, after another long drought of posts, I’ve decided that, because of the position that life is taking me, that I need to become more involved with the development community as a whole. In my case, that means exposing my development abilities to the world, and the best way to do that is to show [...]

Thoughts from Madrailers
First off, yes, I know I haven’t put anything up here in six months. That’s my mistake. I’ll try to do better in the future. Honestly, I just haven’t felt like writing in that time period. Until today. Well, technically yesterday night. Whatever. Yesterday, I had the wonderful experience of meeting a fantastic group of [...]

50 Lines of Code – day 2: more LWP
More Paint LWP work… See gist at bottom. Anyway, all I’ve been doing is just letting my hands type out the general idea of what I want. I have yet to test it in any emulator or device, to make sure it’s doing what I think it is. I just want to make sure I’m [...]

50 Lines of Code, Day 1: Live Wallpaper
My first 50 Lines of Code entry, is the beginnings to an Android 2.1+ Live Wallpaper. Called Paint, the idea is to have four main colors at the edge of the screens. By the phone’s tilt, those colors will bleed into the screen itself, causing the animation, and interactivity with the phone regardless of whether [...]

50 lines of code
I haven’t written much code, for being a Comp Sci major. I feel like sometimes, I get further and further behind my peers because they have the opportunity to write the code that I don’t. I’m giving myself a challenge, and having my blog (Corner of Seven, for those of you reading this via Facebook) [...]

Exploring the Droid
Recently I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with my new phone. The previous statement isn’t much of a surprise in this day in age, but I think I should qualify what I mean. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with the software internals of my new phone.
