A Beginning…
November 22nd, 2008
This notebook or blog is intended to become a collection of notes and ideas based on my work. I still have to see how this actually develops before I can say more. At the moment it is an experiment to see how far publishing raw thoughts, ideas and results is at all useful and practicable. There are also other sites associated with my work relating to more complete results and ongoing projects. Some of these are similarly experimental and undefined while others aim more at making the final results freely accessible.
Ex Tenebris Scientia is my personal home page which provides an overview of my work and some other activities. Most of its contents related to final results and published work, rather than work in progress or initial ideas. It’s also focused on me, rather than on projects/work.
Astarte is a development site based on trac with various version control systems, continuous integration, etc. It is mainly aimed at developing, testing and releasing software. As most of the work I’m doing relates to algorithms and software, most of the ongoing projects and related information is likely to go on this site. The name is based on the name of a rather ambitious project of revising the way I (or maybe we) are using computers by devising a new programming centric framework for using a computer. I will, however, not discuss more details about this in the near future.
X=10Z is a wiki site and also hosts this blog. The wiki site has been created for documentation purposes, but what precisely this means I still have to define. One idea at the moment is to put material relating to the courses I’m teaching there to develop something like a textbook. Research results and related information may be documented there in a similar way. Associated with this sites are also blogs, like this one (currently the only one), to keep notes, etc. related to a person, project or topic.
Beyond that I’ll have to see how things are developing. Being busy with loads of things I do not expect to quickly provide a lot of content for any of this.
One final note, in particular for this blog: the content here may be messy, unorganised, incomplete or simply wrong. So do not hold me responsible for any of these comments… I’ll check the content elsewhere more carefully than here. But feel free to comment on anything…
