December 19, 2010. Filed under: Top Chef. 8212; Chris @ 7:20 pm. Not much to say about. This week. The Elimination challenge was interesting but unfair, for a couple of reasons. First, Wylie Dufresne probably spends weeks or. Working over a dish before he puts it on the menu at wd-50; can you really imagine anybody in the world meeting his standards with just a day to think about it and a couple of hours in the kitchen? Both bets paid off: you don’t go home on. 8212; December 21, 2010 @ 3:49 pm. I agree ...

QEMU on Ubuntu | Procrastiblog

April 5, 2010. 8212; Chris @ 9:22 pm. It was a lot easier to set up QEMU than I expected it would be. Easier even than the online tutorials make it seem. Apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-extras. Download a prebuild image. For the guest system you want to run. In my case, I wanted. Which meant I also had to download. If you want to copy files from the host system (i.e., your computer) into the guest, you need to make a “raw” image that you can mount from both sides:. In the same directory as the image.

April 25, 2010. Iceland Report, Part 2: Haimaey. 8212; Chris @ 4:03 pm. Today’s subject is Haimaey. The largest of the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands). The key attractions on Haimaey are the lava flows of Eldfell, dramatic ocean cliffs, and lots and lots of puffins. The following are not attractions on Haimaey: nightlife, comfortable hotels, a large selection of quality restaurants, or accurate maps. We tried the latter course. It starts off well, with an interesting black sand beach, but then the t...

February 20, 2007. 8212; Chris @ 11:52 pm. Be warned: there is a. Directive in BibTeX, but it doesn’t appear to do anything. Works as expected so long as you use it. Any other directive. E.g., the following will not work,. InProceedings{ key, title = { BibTeX comments considered harmful}, author = {Christopher L. Conway}, booktitle = {Procrastiblog Symposium on LaTeX Arcana}, year = 2007, @Comment{ This never actually happened. } }. Whereas the following is fine,. 8212; March 10, 2008 @ 5:43 pm. Sorry, t...

July 21, 2010. I Don’t Care to Publish in Any Conference That Would Have Me as an Author. 8212; Tags: Academia. 8212; Chris @ 2:53 pm. Trying to fight back the slow death of boredom on a long plane ride home from a long academic conference, I came across an interesting article by Jilin Chen and Joseph A. Konstan. In last month’s. Communications of the ACM. Selective conferences are cited slightly less often than those that are merely. We hypothesize that an extremely selective but imperfect (as review pr...

April 17, 2011. Filed under: Not Tech. 8212; Chris @ 11:47 am. I’ve posted pictures from our recent trip to Vietnam. Highly recommended if you like street food, motorbikes, and rice paddies. A few quick tips:. Visa-on-arrival is definitely the way to go. I spent a week trying to call the embassy to arrange a regular visa and got nowhere. Then I went to Visa-Vietnam.org. Filled out a form, and 24 hours later I had all my paperwork. And, for some reason, it’s. With tour guides, excursions to crowded attrac...

December 12, 2010. A Fight to the Death. Filed under: Top Chef. 8212; Chris @ 6:08 pm. But damn, Jennifer was pissed. More pissed even that Fabio last week. Like, Dale punching a locker pissed. If she showed any previous evidence of that temper, I don’t remember it. Jennifer does not appreciate your feedback. H is still totally bent out of shape that. Filmed in the museum—just steps away from her office—and nobody told her. (Hey,. Producers: have you considered a Google lunch challenge? A place to docume...

April 8, 2010. Filed under: Top Chef. 8212; Chris @ 7:25 am. I will not be blogging about the second season of. First of all, I really should be writing my thesis. Secondly, I already have two series of posts that I’m months behind on. Lastly, it’s a good show and all, but everybody’s too good all the time, and mostly pretty nice. There’s hardly anything to kvetch about. Best wishes and happy Spring,. Comments Off on Program Note. Updating for Daylight Savings Time on Ubuntu. Style Guidelines for People.
