Notes: My most active project is Small Linux. Since 1998 it has been the most active version of Linux for x86 boxes with less than 5 meg of ram. It has become a project to support people, schools and areas with older PC equipment to use Linux.

My presentation is that 1-dimensional cellular automata can be used for modeling the correspondence between the real world and features of the arithmetic number line.
I will post a version of it at: http://superant.livejournal.com/
Flying back from DC on Sunday.
I edited down a Small Damn Trailer from Eric Olsen's Big Damn Trailer
A Trailer by fans for fans. 3.48 minutes, 56 megs.

Found it easy to use, but I was not able to be as precise on the timecuts that I should have been.

The program now uses the Link Parser that was rubyfied:
http://advogato.org/proj/Ruby-LinkParser/
The long term plan is to parse input sentences and generate responses that are learned over time.
There are more than 3700 downloads of rwdtinker applications in the last 6 months. I need to improve the documentation and write articles to explain the framework.
My wife's mother died on Thursday. Why do I post when bad things happen? It was so sudden, we are not adjusted.
Have made unofficial Debian packages. http://rubyforge.org/projects/rwdapplications/
I am finding that typos are the big problem with programming. I do alot of cutting and pasting, and that leads to programs that don't run correctly. Typing or cutting and pasting lead to errors in spelling or referring to wrong variables. The plus side is rapid development. I am almost always able to use a pre-written code module, but making the correct changes in the correct places is difficult.
I guess we need a tool that checks that our variables and function calls are consistent for the block of code we are using.
That was a long project today. Installed and uninstalled about five different versions of Ruby for ARM. Mostly versions of 1.8.1, but also a 1.8.2 preview. They all had library dependency problems. Libraries are a good computer feature, but they can take you to dependency hell. I installed from ipkg and zips and tars. Finally got a 1.8.1 version working.
rwdaddresses are working in my PDA. Yeah. Now to get my schedule, movie database and other applets installed.
Have added features to rwdtinker so that multiple applets can be installed at the same time without stealing screen real estate.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
