I Finally Learned the Official Term for “Interactive Shell”

Apparently it’s called a REPL (Read, Evaluate, and Print Loop). A REPL is an imperative tool for software development and is an awesome way to play, experiment, and become familiar with a programming language. The first time I used one was freshman year at Cornell, in CS100. We learned Matlab which makes extensive use of …

Deciding on a Graduate School

Hello, hello. So most of you probably already know that I am planning to return to school for a master’s degree this fall. I really need to be more thankful to God for the opportunities he has given me because I got into both of my top choices and now need to make the difficult …

Moving the Dropbox Folder on a Cr-48

Thanks to these lovely instructions and this wonderful set of compiled programs, I was able to install Dropbox on the Cr-48! There was one thing that bothered me, however, and that was the inability to view the file/directory listing from the browser. By default, the dropbox folder is stored in /home/chronos/user/Dropbox and it seems like …

Hello CR-48

The Cr-48 I won in the LucidChart contest arrived last Friday! Here are some shots of it, if you don’t know what it looks like already (basically it’s just matte black all over and completely unbranded and unlabeled). First Impressions I really like the feel of it. The rubbery matte texture makes it feel solid …

First Ruby App! Biblia API Demo

Not too long ago I became aware of a micro-framework called Sinatra (yes, as in Frank Sinatra). The original article that I read was promoting it for developing quick and functional prototypes. I was intrigued, and since I had always wanted to start learning Ruby, I decided to give it a shot. All the troubles …

Free Wireframing and Mockup Tools Impressions

I’ve tried a couple of wireframing apps that are free (or have a free option) and are web-based. I don’t have a set criteria so all of these impressions are pretty subjective and not that in depth. One feature that I really would like, though it may not be that practical/useful, is to have vectorized …

LucidChart and Cr-48

Well this was a pleasant surprise. A few weeks ago I was looking for a wire-framing/prototyping/mock-up solution online (I will write a post about my findings later), and one of the ones I came across was LucidChart. Basically it’s a web-based diagram creator built with HTML5 and javascript; an alternative to something like Microsoft Visio. …
