I used to read about stocks, options, and futures as a kid. That didn’t help any, since I didn’t have money. So I stepped away from all that for a long time. But sometime last year, the Holy Spirit nudged me to look at this stuff again. I rediscovered options, and found covered-calls, and the […]
Problem statement See the problem statement in this post. This post is about using Python to write a program that implements a shell (REPL) to JIRA’s servers. Implement the REPL I implemented this REPL the same way the C version was made. I opted to not go for the “eval” option (as I did in […]

Thinking Forth This book was written in 1984, and is one of the greatest books I’ve read on computer programming practice (as opposed to theory). It’s one the books I wish I’d read 10 years ago. There is a lot in here, and I’m going to have to read it multiple times to truly assimilate […]
I enjoy reading about history, in particular programming history. A few months ago I discovered the Forth programming language, and fell into the rabbit hole. I knew about the Algol branch of programming languages, and the Lisp branch. Forth is a whole portion of programming history that I didn’t know even existed. This language is […]
Problem statement I’ve picked up sailing this summer as a hobby. Its fun, but its wind-dependent and I am not allowed to take a club boat out if the wind-speed is higher than 10 knots. I usually check the weather at home and head to the club if the forecast is < 10 knots. Once […]
A few weeks ago I was introduced to the book Essentials of Programming Languages, 3rd edition through Elance. A person wanted help with one of the exercises. I couldn’t help them in the time frame that they were willing to work with, but the book piqued my interest, and in the last 2 weeks I’ve […]
