Oh man this seems like this is the year I get to travel! I’m presenting a paper I’m first author of and giving a workshop presentation of another paper at AAMAS in Istanbul, going to Heifei China for Robocup, and most likely going to Hamburg Germany to present a paper at IROS! That is amazing,… Continue reading Travel
Tidy Data
Tidy data that is all.
Master Theses
This is an interesting approach to masters theses, they list them on their website!
Decision Theory Paradoxes
I’ve been researching decision theory paradoxes because in my Bounty’s task allocation system I am considering the benefits of giving the bondsman the decision to allocate particular tasks through an auction (ie exclusive) or through its normal bounty (non-exclusive) method. This brings with it a potentially multi-criteria decision which has me interested about the theoretical ramifications… Continue reading Decision Theory Paradoxes
Computational Sciences and Informatics
Another PhD in Computational Sciences and Informatics. I wonder if I could pick one of these up then after I get my PhD in CS and have a job. They have a quantum information science area and I have always been interested in being able to program and think about problems with quantum computers. Especially with… Continue reading Computational Sciences and Informatics
Travel and Architecture
There should be an app that will tell you your personal expected travel time at any user given day and time not just the current conditions and average driving time given speed limits etc. It could be based off of your past history of driving. So, basically it would need to be a phone app… Continue reading Travel and Architecture
VPNs

That way if one is being blocked you can try another. Another interesting project I found was tinc. This seemed a bit old. However, due to… Continue reading VPNs
Sublime Text 3
I got the sublime text editor (version 3). I got it because I wanted something cool to develop in for python. Following this, I installed flake8 (however i don’t think I installed flake8 corectly…), and TrailingSpaces (which I adjusted my borrowed user prefs file accordingly). I also installed a lot of the things mentioned here. I… Continue reading Sublime Text 3
Smart grid dataset from UMASS
I just found http://traces.cs.umass.edu/index.php/Smart/Smart. UMASS has a nice set of data that can be used for doing stuff with the smart grid. Might be interesting.
Korean BBQ eh “doge”
Oh my! I went to Kogiya Korean BBQ in Annandale, VA. It was pretty good. I wouldn’t go there often (or probably by choice). It is a bit pricy for what you get. I tried to eat with the chopsticks, but I need practice (since I’m going to China). I ate some sort of pork ribs… Continue reading Korean BBQ eh “doge”
