Some progress
We finally continued with our program to solve Laplace’s Equation, after weeks of delay. First, I was relieved to find out that it was not my program that was terribly inefficient but that programs ran much faster on his computer (due to a better configuration, and probably because he was running them on 64-bit [...]

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )My First Greasemonkey Script
I was going to post on my recently concluded Sudoku research, but something amazing happened so quickly that I still can’t believe I did it. Yes! I wrote my first ever Greasemonkey script!!

Some Random Thoughts
I don’t think I will be posting regularly because college is starting soon and I have been caught up with some other work. Programming has taken somewhat of a backseat, which means my learning process is impeded. Last thing I thought about doing was writing a Su Do Ku solver. I had tried writing one [...]

It has the whole of infinity contained within it, yet you can see the whole of it. You won’t be able to find more diversity in a single image. One of the mot famous [...]

I was talking about the stride method
where you store data that would normally be stored in double
dimensional arrays in single dimensional arrays, and access them by
changing the value of the position indicator accordingly. Now this
became a little confusing as I proceeded to more complicated programs.
So I decided to write programs using double dimensional arrays just [...]
Vector data type
Till recently, I used to program only on Turbo C++. And till recently, I was completely unaware that there were far newer C++ compilers. Blame my education board’s outdated syllabus. Of course I had heard of GCC, but then I thought it was just another Linux Thing. I knew that we needed to make some [...]
