Quarry 0.1.13 (Default branch) 03/14/2005 06:21 PM
Quarry is a multi-purpose GUI for different board games, at present Go, Amazons, and Othello. It allows users to play against computer players (third-party programs, e.g. GNU Go) and other humans, and view and edit game records. It supports SGF and uses the GTP to communicate with game- playing engines.

---

Changes:
The SGF reader and writer have been finished, so this release no longer warns about potential loss of information on file overwriting. It is now possible to adjourn and later resume a game. Time control and game tree view handling were improved in several ways. A new alternative wood grain background was added.

K9 Shake and Bake Tests at Aromas Quarry

K9 Shake and Bake Tests at Aromas Quarry 11/05/2003 12:02 PM
Nasa is conducting two weeks of tests on the K9 robot at the Aromas granite quarry in California. The K9 rover is slated for a mission in 2009. In the meantime scientists will be trying to make the rover smarter and less vunerable to the 20 minutes communications roundtrip that it takes for scientists on Earth to react to problems it may encounter. The K9 robot, if it runs into a problem, attempts to be more autonomous by having list of contingency plans to help it accomplish it's goals until mission control can get back to it. K9 will of course have nukes on board to blast any hostile aliens it may find, er, um... to keep it warm at night like the previous rovers had. The robot will cost over $500k and the cool rocker-bogie design was developed at JPL at CIT. Don't take these tests for granted (?granite?), hopefully, these tests will help prevent K9 from rolling over and playing dead.

Of course, this K9 is not to be confused with Dr. Who's K9, but it was named after it.

FYI: Nasa's Spirit and Opportunity rovers and ESA's Beagle 2 rover and perhaps even Japan's Hope rover should arrive sometime in December of this year to early January next year.

"No dogs please"

"No dogs please" 05/03/2004 04:48 PM
I'm such a lover of rummy prose. It's why I chortle at Wodehouse--that and his ridiculously involved plot-lines. It's why I press a copy of Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" into the hands of passersby. Douglas Adams's "It hung in the air in exactly the way that bricks don't" is a constant grammatical companion. And, of course, there's the inimitable Winston Churchill's "This is the sort of pedantry up with which I will not put."

So, given half a chance, I'd drone on and on quoting just about every other page in Lynne Truss's witty yet precise Eats, Shoots & Leaves".

Here, though, are a couple of bits of humorous eloquence--the first by Ms. Truss, the second by Thurber--I just couldn't pass by without mentioning out loud.

p. 81.

Readers grow so accustomed to the dwindling incidence of commas in public places that when signs to up saying "No dogs please", only one person in a thousand actually bothers to point out that actually, as a statement, "no dogs please" is an indefensible generalisation, since many dogs do please, as a matter of fact; they rather make a point of it.

p. 70.

Thurber was once asked by a correspondent: "Why did you have a comma in the sentence, 'After dinner, the men went into the living-room'?" And his answer was probably one of the loveliest things ever said about punctuation. "This particular comma," Thurber explained, "was Ross's way of giving the men time to push back their chairs and stand up."

Isle of Dogs

Isle of Dogs 06/17/2005 04:27 PM

« The lovely beach on Rajasaari, a.k.a. dog island. »

We skipped the Samba parade today and took Otava up to Rajasaari again instead. I've rarely seen a dog so happy as he is to run around like a crazed puppy and swim around in the water. I'm continually impressed by the dog parks in Helsinki and Rajasaari seems like one of the best kept secrets in town since there are never many dogs around when we visit. It's a rocky knob of an island with lots of trees, water and sand for dogs to play in freely off the leash. It's doggie nirvana. It sits just off the shore from the Prime Minister's home in Meilahti which likely prevents any development.

Otava certainly likes to swim, but we're going to have to work on his floating ball retrieval skills as he wades in like a water buffalo, drinks around it, sniffs and then wanders off while drinking more water in search of something more interesting. Perhaps we need to stuff some sausage into the floating kong ball to pique his curiosity. :)

I left work early on Friday in order to try some mämmijäätelö at the Häme regional fair in Senate Square. Many of the Finnish regions seem to offer these during the summertime and it's fun to try regional oddities. I am still pouting that we arrived too late for the mämmi ice cream and I'm thinking that I'll just have to make some myself. Otava got to try some of the boar pyttipannu since he caught a whiff of it while we were snaking our way around the stalls in search of ice cream and decided that he was going to park it in front of the pyttipannu stand until he was served. Oh, the ladies loved him and gave him a wee taste which sealed our fate of having to buy some and lure him away with it. At least he wasn't behaving like he does at the pet store where he walks along the treat aisle and just shoves his face into the bin of stuff he likes the most. :)

One disappointment was being with a friend who wanted to take some pictures of some cute ceramic pots in the Häme market. I was busy holding Otava, who was interested in heading towards the food section, and couldn't quite believe that the vendor started giving her an incredibly hard time about 'using the pictures against her' or some really wacky justification for being viciously rude instead of saying 'please, no pictures.' It didn't occur to me until we were walking home that it was very likely because the friend isn't white and I thought about going back without Otava to see if I would get the same treatment if I tried to take pictures of her cute, but unoriginal, pottery though I wasn't sure how I'd respond if the vendor were to smile and offer to show me other items while I was taking a few pictures. It's always the little things that get under your skin and fester.

We may owe our speech and our existence
to dogs 01/16/2004 11:31 AM

In my pursuit to understand Bo better, I'm reading a book that Barak gave me called How to Speak Dog. It's really a great book about how to to communicate with your dog. Stanley Coren makes an interesting assertion about our co-evolution with dogs.

Stanley Coren

It is well established that the primitive humans who survived to become our forefathers formed an early relationship with dogs. Compare our success to that of the Neanderthals, who never got along with dogs, and who ultimately died out. Some evolutionary theorists have suggested that the survival of our ancestors had to do with the fact that our cooperative partnership with dogs made us more efficient hunters than Neanderthals². With the dog's more acute sensory systems, finding game was easier.
[...]
Here is where the serious speculation begins. These theorists suggest that since these early humans now had dogs to do the tracking, they no longer needed the facial structures that would allow them to detect faint scents. This, then, allowed our early ancestors to evolve more flexible facial features, which were capable of shaping more complex sounds. In other words, our prehistoric association with dogs, who would do the smelling for us, gave us the ability to create speech.

Cancer-sniffing dogs

Cancer-sniffing dogs 09/24/2004 05:36 AM
David Pescovitz: Scientists report that dogs can smell disease in the urine of bladder cancer patients. In the study, published in this week's Br itish Medical Journal, the canines successfully identified a cancer patient's urine sample placed among six control samples 41 percent of the time, far better than the 14 percent expected by chance. From an Associated Press article on the research:

"Perhaps the most intriguing finding, though, was in a comparison patient whose urine was used during the training phase. All the dogs unequivocally identified that urine as a cancer case, even though screening tests before the experiment had shown no cancer. Doctors conducted more detailed tests on the patient and found a life-threatening tumor in the right kidney."
