Sys-Call-Track

mulix said that in his diary, but I might as well too. I hacked on the perl script that generated some code their, and cleaned it up a bit. Most of what I did had to do with making the code more perl5-ish instead of the perl4-like mess it used to be.

I talked with Guy Keren, the other prominent developer of Sys-Call-Track and he said that what he also would like to see is the entire philosophy of the script re-factored. But hopefully, I can do that by doing several incremental changes, rather than one complete re-write.

Freecell Solver Lecture

I started translating the points I wrote to HTML slides. I finished quite a lot of them, but it will take me some time until everything can be placed on-line.

Studies

I have a precept on Thursday for "Algo Design", due to the fact that my T.A. has been drafted into the Army with a Turtle-8, and the replacement T.A. does not have the same hours.

Furthermore, I have to sit with my Computer Graphics and "Algorithms" partners, before the weekend.

Learning C/C++

My sister, Noa, called me and requested that I buy for her a book on learning C and C++. Today, I bought the book "A Book on C", which I can still recall from "Intro to CS". Hopefully, it would be suitable for her.

Her original idea was that I should buy her a book in Hebrew, but I told her they are probably sub-standard. Going to Prof. Kimchi's site strengthened this, and I saw there that he recommends "A Book on C".
