Fruits of Labor

Most of the work I’ve been doing at Google has been been on my specific project ( http://mail.google.com/mail/#contacts ).
Now that I’m getting more comfortable with the environment, I’ve been able to branch out a little bit, and one of the results is that I made my first change to google’s open-source javascript library recently: http://code.google.com/p/closure-library/source/detail?r=167

shorewall & policy based routing

I switched over to comcast internet, which has proved to be significantly faster than the DSL connection I was on.  One questionable result of the move is that I’m not totally happy with the way Comcast shapes internet traffic, and decided that I wanted to tunnel portions of my traffic to countries with more favorable laws.   [...]

Senior Bus Trip

The seniors in my dorm took a bus trip over that last four days.  From Los Angeles we traveled north to near Reno, then went across the Sierras to the coast and came down the pacific coast highway through Big Sur.  The views were amazing, and it was a great time spent with good friends.

Finishing College

I am now one final away from being done with college. It’s a strange feeling.
Rather than looking back, it’s more fun to look forwards:
* I need to find a way to spend more time in China, so that the time I’ve spent studying the language can pay off.
* I need to keep [...]

Slab City

I took part in the bus trip this weekend on the dorm’s new bus. Our route went first to the Palomar observatory, to see the telescope and grounds, and to take the bus up the mountain. From there we traveled down to the Salton sea, a large artificial lake with no inlet or [...]

Cornel Visit Days

This is just a recounting of my visit days at cornell, so that I can keep it fresh in my head when I want to reflect on it in the future.
Flight sucked – sat in pain with a migraine between Cleveland and Syracuse – it let up about when we landed, and I’m blaming it [...]

End of Break

I’m heading back to California this weekend to start my last semester of college. I’ll start hearing from graduate programs next month, and by mid march I’ll have to make a choice about what I’m doing next in life.
It’s going to be both a challenging and interesting semester. Challenging because Chinese is going [...]

2009, the christmas card edition

2009 was another great year for me.  I came back to the states from my semester abroad in China just after the new year, went back to China for the summer, and had two amazing semesters at Harvey Mudd.
My spring was very busy mostly because of classes in Algorithms and Galois Theory, both of which [...]

Preview

Wordpress is now configured to my liking, which has taken a turn to the minimalistic.
Some additional work may eventually go into making the comments fit better into the rest of the theme, and making some of the sidebar features fit in more naturally. Otherwise though I’m really happy with how it came out.
The next [...]
