User-centric updates

yes, I know there are broken links now; they are purposely there for several reasons - some reasons are in regard to privacy

Extra Stuff

If you are looking for my formula/reference sheets, currently I have my physics formula sheet (zip file in pdf format). Periodically I will make avail other useful material; In the near future I will have a calculus reference sheet and probably other computer science references. New material will include data structures for sure.

"To everything there is a season, a time for every pupose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

Q: How many journalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Three. One to report it as an inspired government program to bring light to the people, one to report it as a diabolical government plot to deprive the poor of darkness, and one to win a Pulitzer prize for reporting that Electric Company hired a lightbulb-assassin to break the bulb in the first place.

Some of my computer science projects and labs

Java Programming

ConwayApp
Description:	Yet another ACM programming contest practice problem. Java console app outputs some conway sequences. Problem: You have in this case N cells (test with N=16) living in a one dimensional space(grid). Each cell of the grid may be 'dead' or 'alive'. The initial configuration of alive cells goes through a series of generations, let's say that each change (step) occurs in one day. In each successive generation some alive cells may die and some new cells are born in vacant spaces depending on the total number of alive neighbors if each cell. The birth and deaths follow this rule: a cell remains alive or a new cell is born if it has exactly on alive neighbor, and it dies, or stays dead if it has both or neither neighbors alive. The input is from a text file and the output should be both on a file and the screen showing the life of the colony of cells in days 90-100
