General things I find of interest.

Recruiting week

Well, this past week was full of recruiters on campus trying to hire people, well engineers. I participated in a few of the events, but missed the major one entirely. It started on Monday with the welcome dinner. Essentially free food at the Hilton where students sit at a table with a recruiter. I sat with Texas Instruments, and it was interesting to hear what they had to say. Nothing too specific as this was little more than a meet and greet combined with free food.

Quick vacation for the weekend

I visited my parents again this past weekend just to get a quick trip away from school. The outdoor kitties are acting much the same, with Guest Kitty lying around as usual for most of the day. I swear she is still too fat, but she may be getting better about that. OC (Orange Cat) has become much more friendly. He loves to be scratched, but he still hasn’t fully learned his name.

Perian 1.0 Released

Finally, after the fiasco with macupdate, we really released version 1.0. Go get it. AppleTV users, we suggest using ATV Loader to install it. Downloading the current package, and extracting the components out of it will work, but when it shows up on ATV Loader, that will be much simpler.

Why Me?

Why did I get a email like this? hi, my name is ****** from Brazil. I am a electrical enginnering student and I would like to know if someone has a program that calculate the transient stability with values of internal voltages of the machines. My program calculate a Load Flow for systems 9-bus and 14-bus, but need to find the values of pre fault and post fault and Variables of state e equilibry of machines I need simulate three phase short circuit considerated Fault period (tch) and generate Grafics angle X time and Grafics velocity X time I need to simulate a three phase short circuited with fault period tch and generate graphics with the results of anglextime and velocityx time bars voltage of system and internal voltage of generators.

New Safari

Well, Apple released a beta of Safari 3.0 and so I decided to try it out. I had almost forgotten why I switched to Firefox until I was doing this post. Safari’s javascript was not up to par to work properly with wordpress, so I had to switch to a browser that was. Now, wordpress is hardwired to disable features on Safari, so I had to make it lie and claim it was Firefox in order to test them.
