Site Update

To my disappointment, my siteburg homepage turned into a case of 404. Hopefully, this is only temporary, but I will create another site if it's a permanent issue. I'm thinking of using Ruby for the new site; however, it would required lots of testing on the local station. In addition, installing a web server, a database, and Ruby individually is a lot more hassle (especially the configurations) than going with PHP (WAMP package). Nonetheless, something would be done in a time due.

On the brighter news, I found something interesting relating to my old site today. It started out innocent enough... with me yahooing myself. My nick is unique enough that about many sites related to myself in someway, but the one that caught my attention was a pdf file titled Dartmont College Computer Science Technical Report TR2004-503! Inside that technical report's reference section, my double buffering tutorial is listed next to the IEEE!

"Woh!" I thought to myself.

Now I know how my ex-coworker felt when his paper was published in the IEEE magazine. Alright, I will admit that this technical report is not as big, but it is a great feeling to have a tutorial that I wrote in college being apart of a computer science thesis. Thank you Yahoo! I hope you don't get bought by Micro$oft. Sadly, this thesis is not listed in Google. Unacceptable.
