Yes, I’m wearing a sling. It was fashioned from a piece of sling-appropriate material by the outdoorsman in our lab, Gary Yngve. Yes, I technically broke my arm. It’s not that bad, or at least don’t think it’s that bad. Doctor’s Advice: Ice, Advil, and come back if it gets worse.
1. Friday – went eating with Christophe of Google-reimbursement fame. Awesome ancillary activities followed.
2. Today – presented Infomush at Google. Thanks to team SMHACK, Infomush pulled off a quantum leap in clustering quality just as we passed over Google’s door jam. (I also won a game of foosball — only using my good un-technically-broken arm. Of course I took the opportunity to raise he roof for Infomush.)
BTW, SMHACK is our initials backwards: Kevin Chiu, Andy Hou, Michael Skinner.
Hmmm, Christophe also finally learned what Act 2 of Infomush is, at least the first scene of Act 2. Taj helped prod the revelation on by guessing it was “social.” I guess this means we’ll just have to implement it faster than planned.
Today, I encountered my first Ruby gripe.
Variables mapped from collection passed into Ruby threads are not independent of one another. If one thread changes the passed variable, all of other threads share the new variable.
Let’s suppose I have an Array of items = ["item 1", "item 2", "item 3"]
Here’s some code that takes each item in the array and does some processing on it, printing out “finished!” statements after each element is processed.
items.map{|item| Thread.new(item){ #process with variable execution time goes here puts "#{item} finished!" }}
Let’s suppose the map task associated with “item 3″ starts last and ends first. Then the output could look like this:
item 3 finished!item 3 finished!item 3 finished!
The explanation for this peculiar behavior is detailed in Ruby Central‘s Pragmatic Programmer’s Guide:
“A thread shares all global, instance, and local variables that are in existence at the time the thread starts.”
I’ve also begun using threads. I found that this is one of the major differences between threads and processes. It is not possible to share variables between processes. Since I had a need to share some variables between two processes, I switched to using threads.
I guess this behavior can be considered a benefit or drawback, depending on your expectations.

A little while ago, I went on a seaweed shopping spree at Uwajimaya. Among all of the different types of seaweed I purchased that day, this one really stood out. I have no idea what it says.
A quick review: It’s oilier, saltier, and way tastier than the normal Japanese nori.
(If anyone could translate the bag, that would be awesome.)
It’s a type of Korean snack. I bought some of them before and they taste really good. You are supposed to wrap it around the rice and eat it. I learned that in the Sympathy for Lady Vengeance movie.
In my HCI class, we’ve been prototyping an imaginary interface for 1.5 quarters. Now we have to implement it in 10 days. It sounds tough, but I don’t think it will be that difficult, considering that we could simplify the interface much further given our recent video prototype feedback.
Additionally, in my distributed systems class, we’ve just finished our final lecture and will start our final projects, which need to be ready in 10 days. Ours is called Infomush, but its role in the great scheme of things will be kept a secret for now =).
