Review: Interesting Times
Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is my second time reading this book. I didn’t record a prior rating I remember liking this book the first time I read it.

Git gets interesting
This used to look pretty regular. Just two parallel lines with the devel branch connecting into the master branch here and there. But then I merged master into devel because I added issue templates on the github website directly into master. Things got….interesting….

I haven’t done one of these since last October. At lot of the same photos are there, but there are a few less panda shots. A few of the photos have switched spots with each other. And there’s the relatively new photo of Dina and Brian. Interestingly (no pun intended), my most viewed photo is…

Interesting CPU Behavior
I never really knew much about how CPUs worked until I took a class in CPU design at Cornell. Until that point I never knew about registers and cache and pipelines. Ever since then I’ve been growing in my understanding of how the CPU works and how all the parts fit together. This culminated in…

Suddenly A Lot More Interesting?
Just four days ago, this photo was my 11th most interesting photo. Now it’s my second most interesting photo! Wow! I wonder what factors contributed to this? Surely the fact that it has risen quickly to already have 200+ views?
