This Blog is getting boring!!!

I know, I know. There is no news I'm my blog in over two weeks now. Well nobody reads it anyway, but I feel like starting my blog to post my achievements so maybe one day someone will read about them.

At this moment I have a fair amount of projects I want to start. Unfortunately I don't have the time, energy or money to do all of them, on top of doing full time research, and taking care of my plants. Here is a list of the projects I want to start, Anyone of this projects is enough to keep me away from any other in the list so I will have to make some decisions:

1) Learn Cocoa and Objective C.

Well, since apple have been stealing my soul since the very moment I buy my mac mini I want to develop applications with graphical interface for my personal use, and make them available if anyone else have any use for them.

2) Find a place to Live.

This is kind of obvious why I need to do this.

3) Implement a console window via usb.

I have an extra monitor, check.
I have a computer that doesn't handle dual displays, check.
I use the terminal in my mac a lot, check.
Can I connect my second monitor to my mac and have a full screen terminal on it via usb, nope.
Do I know any device on the market that will do this for me, not that I know of.
Can I do it myself, maybe.

4) Visual GSL.

For my own research I have been using the GSL (GNU Scientific Library) and it is really a nice library for what I do. But I would like to make a graphical implementation of it so I can test if the method will work the way I want it to work. And then it have to generate the code for me the code for me.
For example I have to calculate some Greens functions making a Hilbert transform from the non-interacting electronic density. In doing so I have to allow for an imaginary part on the self-energy. And I find myself coding things like:

gsl_complex var = gsl_complex_add_real(gsl_complex_add(sigma1,sigma2),mu);

witch only means var = sigma1+sigma2+mu; where var, sigma1 and sigma2 are complex numbers. It would be nice to do a little program where I can input sigma1+sigma2+mu, and I can copy paste the generated code to my program.

5) Poker odds.

I have been watching poker on television for a while, and played some games (no real money involved) online, and it's fun. So I would like to code a program that will tell me what are the best hands to start with. And I know AA is the best hand you can start with, but I what about for example, J-10 suited vs Q-K off suite.

6) Learn openGL.

This will help me to make plots for my programs in number 4 with in the same program with only adding a button, plot.

7) Infinite desks.


I can't talk about this.

8) Learn to use Xmgrace.


My advisor suggested I have to discard gnuplot and use xmgrace instead.

9) Write on my own blog.


As you can see I have a lot of things I want to embrace and the day only have 24 hours. I will try to keep posting things here on a regular basis.

For the second monitor thing, you can also try using the app "Desktop Manager" that can be downloaded from www.versiontracker.com/macosx and have multiple desktops. You'd be able to switch among them with an easy keystroke.
