New Year, New bit-player

New server, new design, new ambitions. It’s been a big project. More later, when I’ve slept. In the meantime, feel free to poke around.

    Looks nice! Just a comment: it seems that there’s a typo. In the main menu, under Extras, the second choice is “Aglorithms” and it leads to http://bit-player.org/wp-content/extras/dla/dla.html which has the title “Aglorithms.”

    Indeed it’s a typo—but one that I’m not going to correct. The second paragraph of the text on that page explains all.

    Oops, sorry, I didn’t read the text. The new format of the site is much nicer (the animated graphic at the top, the additional menu choices, ability to use LaTex in comments, etc.).

    It seems you have to fix a couple of links. Maybe they haven’t survived the server move. In particular, I’d like to look at your limits of growth program (http://bit-player.org/limits), but I always get a “page not found” error page.

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now.

These 1s and 0s are woven into the upholstery fabric of the seats in an auditorium at Carnegie Mellon University. Does the pattern have any meaning?

Why are they so tall? Why are they no taller? Also, why are they trees (in the graph-theory sense)?

Another Technological Tragedy

The cause of the accident was not a leak or an equipment failure or a design flaw. The pressure didn’t just creep up beyond safe limits while no one was paying attention; the pressure was driven up by the automatic control system meant to keep it in bounds.
