One of the lucky career breaks I've had was writing the ACM TechNews and ACM SIGDA email news summaries from 2000-2005. It paid terribly, and I had to be at work at 6:30 a.m. but I learned a whole lot.

Dammit. My geometric scheme for Walschaerts linkage seems to be doomed. I hope I'm wrong, but it appears that part of the linkage isn't as constrained as I thought it was: there is a sliding joint that I thought was fixed. I am daunted, but not yet defeated. Possibilities include simultaneous […]

A New Component
The ArcRod from yesterday defines the center and one end of a longer rod in 'real life'. I propose what would be called a hack if we did something like it in code. I stumble, but recover. Small steps FTW.

I think Niels dumps a bit harder on Scrun / Agile than necessary, but this article raises some important issues and offers some interesting approaches to real problems. Worth consideration.

Past time to get back to the linkage. I'm glad I'm not on a deadline—other than the big one—and I don't know when that is. Anyway, let's add a link or two. Result: WOOT!
