Seattle Go
03/19/2003 10:26 PMSeattle Times just ran a nice little article on Go in
the Seattle area, which mentions the Microsoft Go Club. I
first got interested in computer algorithms for Go via Victoria
Livschitz, and I enjoy solving Go problems programmatically.
Competetive full-board gaming is not within a computer's grasp
(although getting better, as shown by "Smart Go", a product of an
ex-softie), but it is fun to look at small, narrowly-scoped Go
problems with a computer.
The rules and environment of Go are incredibly simple, and problems
are basically combinatorial graph/tree problems. The smallest
problems can be solved provably and deterministically, but even these
are challenging. While Go looks simple, analyzing a class of
problems thoroughly can be difficult. It is very rewarding to
finally distill the problem into an elegant function that solves the
problem. As the problems become larger, and involve multiple
captures, the challenge increases dramatically (and my interest wanes
proportionally).
After you understand a class of problems and have the running code
to prove it, it is always good to trawl the web to find out ways that
others have solved the problem more elegantly. I was recently
introduced to this discussion of "Benson's
Algorithm" by Ashley Feniello. Benson's paper develops on
the "Feng Yuan" algorithm. Feng and Ashley both work at MSFT,
and the recent AshleyF comments regarding Benson's on senseis Wiki are
a result of their conversations.

I'll be in Seattle from October 3rd to October 5th. I don't
have any plans for
the evenings yet but I am sure something will come up.
Maybe I'll attend
a bloggers dinner. I'll be staying at the Monaco
Hotel downtown so I might
just stroll down to the waterfront to stuff myself with seafood.
Last time I was there, I had a bucket of mixed sea food. When
they brought the
food out, they just slapped down some newspapers on the table and
emptied the bucket
on top of it.There weren't any utensils either. Just a pile
of sea
food and some ale to wash down with. Yum. I hope I can
find the place
again 'cuz, while others might enjoy talking like a pirate for a
day, I prefer eating
like one.

Seattle kicks my ass
Seattle kicks my ass
09/11/2004 09:17 AM
I know it's the anniversary of 9-11, and Hurricane Ivan is
pounding Jamaica, gearing up for Cuba, and destined for Florida;
but...
Last night driving back from a dinner party in Green Lake, I
got my first taste of heavy Seattle rain. It was especially
demoralizing, because 8 times out of 10 when I'm driving here, I'm
lost.
The other day I set out for an eastside Barnes & Noble hoping
to buy a detailed map of the Seattle area so I could study it. I ended
up 20 miles from my target, or so it seemed, until I turned a corner
and found I was at the intersection of 522 and 405, which is where I
started the search. Ouch.
No city has kicked my butt as thoroughly as Seattle has. I
expected to get lost in Boston when I was a newbie, but Seattle? Come
on, the streets are a grid. Hah. No they're not, it just seems that
way.
Anyway, it really rained last night. I sobbed as the traffic on
I-5 passed me at high speed while I was going 40 MPH, gripping the
steering wheel for dear life as my car almost hydroplaned 18 times. I
made it back okay, glad to be in bed as the the rain came down.
So far Seattle kicks my ass. Mostly in a good way, but on its
own terms, no matter what.

Seattle Library Tech
Seattle Library Tech
06/07/2004 02:24 PMThumbs up for new library's technology: A great
article on the technology behind the new Se
attle Public Library. Yeah, I think I'm moving to Seattle in the
next couple of days.
[...]as far as the library's technology is concerned, it's thumbs
up. Wi-Fi access is available nearly everywhere and, with 200
simultaneous addresses, is plenty robust.
[...] the library is jam-packed with IBM terminals. Fiber-optic
network links to the machines make connections lightning fast — up to
a gigabit per second. It's generally quicker and more convenient
logging on to the terminals than booting up your notebook computer.
[...]
Some 400 desktop terminals are available in the library. Most have
one-hour limits, although a couple of "express" arrays limit users to
15 minutes. The express machines are aimed at lunch-hour users or
visitors who want to check their e-mail or briefly surf. The terminals
require a library-card number, but visitors can get a temporary
one-day logon. Wireless access, by the way, has no time limit.
Thanks to "Scott" who posted this link in a comment to our original
article.

Austin's LessNetworks Presents in
Seattle
Austin's LessNetworks Presents in
Seattle
05/05/2004 02:04 PMJason Levitt of Austin's LessNetworks outlined the platform approach
to Seattle Wireless community networking group's monthly meeting: Last
night, Levitt discussed how LessNetworks has built (and is about to
release) an almost-turnkey system for enabling free hotspots. Less
works hand-in-hand with Austin Wireless City Project: Less handles the
software platform and back-end authentication operations, while Austin
Wireless develops the volunteer organization and contacts venues to
install and maintain free service. The Less software is based on
NoCatAuth, and one of the developers of that package, Rob Flickenger,
was in attendance as well. NoCatAuth requires command-line knowledge,
while the Less package is rebundles it into a full bootable,
installable distribution. With an old PC in hand, a venue or volunteer
can install the software, plug in an access point, and create an
account at Less's authentication server. The venue can customize their
local splash screen. Users create a Less account and agree to usage
guidelines, and then can log in for free at all Less-enabled venues.
Less has the software almost ready to go and is in technical
pre-release testing. When it's ready, anyone will be able to download
a CD-ROM ISO image which can be burned on any platform, and used to
boot a generic PC. Also at last night's meeting, Matt Westervelt and
Flickenger discussed the hardware that they're providing in kit form
through their new company, Metrix Communication. The goal of this firm
is to provide kits that put together the resources that formerly
required many trips to many vendors and bulk orders. The company is
working with undisclosed community networking partners, the principals
said. Peter Yorke of Seattlewireless TV was on hand to capture
Levitt's talk, which will be edited and aired during the next
broadcast. Many hands examine a completed Metrix box Matt Westervelt
shows models of their system Matt Westervelt and Rob Flickenger...

Enormous Wardriving Maps of Seattle
Enormous Wardriving Maps of Seattle
02/05/2005 09:26 PM WiFiMaps.com releases massively large, detailed wardriving maps of
Seattle: In conjunction with a University of Washington course. I
can't describe it better than Drew: Dr. Philip Howard from the
communications department has been teaching his students about
technology, ideas, people, and how culture is affected by these new
concepts. Their project allows them to gain some practical experience
while exploring Wi-Fi as it pertains to them and the people around
them. Involving 100 students, this project is one of the largest
collective efforts to map Seattle's wireless landscape. WiFiMaps.com
is a website which provides interactive maps of Wi-Fi installations,
as seen by wardrivers. This collaboration served to create critical
mass for the website to provide printable maps, in addition to
on-screen maps that exist. Also, this paves the way for other
universities and groups interested in orgznizing detailed scans of
their city to have a way to actually accomplish this, and have visual
results. The files are BitTorrented because of their enormous size
(over 100 and 300 MB). [link via Slashdot]...

Naked sushi in Seattle update
Naked sushi in Seattle update

say:
Naked sushi in Seattle update. Dan Savage
ridiculed both the "clenchbutts" for protesting naked sushi and
the local media for giving them attention. His one criticism: "How
come no boy plates?" In the interests of equal opportunity
objectification, The Stranger sponsored Naked Doughnuts at the
same restaurant on a recent Friday night. "Two good-looking guys will
be laid out on the bar and covered with Top Pot doughnuts.
. . . Ogle the boys, eat the donuts, fuck the clenchbutts."
The restaurant owners invited the two men back for sushi night, so now you
can eat sushi off naked women and naked men in Seattle. Bonzai
