I'm trying out Firefox 3 on my laptop running Ubuntu 7.10. It's a huge improvement over Firefox 2 because of three things: it's very fast, it integrates much better with the rest of the desktop in terms of UI, and it has full-page zoom. The speed improvement is really noticeable. Opening a new tab is absolutely instant. Javascript benchmarks show it to be 10 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 (this particular benchmark was featured on Slashdot. To install it on Ubuntu Gutsy, I installed the package.

Amarok and last.fm. I recently started using last.fm. Which if you didn't know is a service that records the songs you listen to, provides statistics and recommendations, finds others with the same music taste, and allows you to sample music and music videos from related artists. I also just switched to Amarok from Rhythmbox because it seemed much more featureful. Amarok is a great piece of software, although it takes a little getting used to. Here's a screenshot:.

Open Source as an IB Extended Essay topic. Do English and history really interest so many people, or did they choose it mainly for safety in numbers? Or because O'Byrne discouraged people from doing anything but those subjects? I searched online for people who had chosen the sciences: math, physics or ITGS (which, since the course focuses on society so much, doesn't seem like a science at first, but at least it's grounded in computer science). Online. The paper seems pretty interesting (I only skimme...

Ankur's blog: Looking back at my summer with Microsoft
http://blog.ankurdave.com/2010/08/looking-back-at-my-summer-with.html
Looking back at my summer with Microsoft. August 13th was my last day as a Microsoft intern. Ever since then, I’ve been missing working with great people, reading lots of interesting papers, and contributing to a larger effort in the best way I know - by writing code :). I presented my work to XCG in the last week, in a talk entitled "CloudClustering: Toward a scalable machine learning toolkit for Windows Azure.". Here are the slides in PowerPoint. Introduction by Roger Barga. Optimizations (Part 2) and ...

My personal homepage and thoughts. Laquo; Back to blog. Featured in The Exonian. We've had a good amount of press for launching FamilyLeaf. Lately, but I never thought it would be picked up by Exeter's newspaper, The Exonian. Unfortunately, they've hidden it behind a login screen - so I thought I'd republish it here. The headline is omitted, because it's embarassingly bad. Thursday, April 26, 2012. FamilyLeaf is designed to allow relatives to privately share photos and other information. At the Academy, ...

Ankur's blog: Microsoft Seattle regional FIRST robotics competition
http://blog.ankurdave.com/2008/03/microsoft-seattle-regional-first.html
Microsoft Seattle regional FIRST robotics competition. I just got back from the competition. Our team, Saints Robotics. Didn't do so well, mainly because various components of our robot failed throughout the competition. We ended up seeding in 30th place out of 31 teams, and though the top alliance in the finals chose us to be part of their alliance (probably out of pity or impulse), our robot failed again during one of the quarter-final rounds, so we were out of the finals. I agree with you on all.

Ankur's blog: Upgrading TiVo's hard drive the second time
http://blog.ankurdave.com/2008/03/upgrading-tivos-hard-drive-second-time.html
Upgrading TiVo's hard drive the second time. We've had a TiVo for three or four years. It started out as an 80-hour Series 2 model, but two years ago I replaced its 80GB hard drive with a 300GB one using the Hinsdale guide. That was plenty of space until a few months ago, when we ran into the space limit again. So we bought a 750GB drive. I tried using the same guide to upgrade the 350GB drive to the 750GB one, but the MFS Tools CD. Wouldn't even boot this time. I found a newer version, MFS Live. Unfortu...
