<title>Blog: More Fun Times with Browsers</title>
<link>http://www.snakebytestudios.com/blog.php?id=386</link>
<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the browser share statistics I gave <a href="/blog.php?id=385">last time</a> were incorrect. Although I did my best to try to remove erroneous hits from web crawlers, site grabbers, and the like (which don't constitute valid visitor hits), I overlooked a growing trend in hits from (what I suspect are) <a class="wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet">botnets</a> trying to exploit URL parameters that may be used to pass in filenames to a script that subsequently includes that file (i.e. executes the file). Of course, none of my scripts have that <a href="http://www.php.n...]]></description>

<title>Blog: Snake crunches more numbers</title>
<link>http://www.snakebytestudios.com/blog.php?id=385</link>
<description><![CDATA[(Any excuse to make a spreadsheet.)<br/>
<br/>
Since the election is over (as predicted, Obama landslide--yes, I am a <a href="/viewimage.php?id=1062">happy snake</a>) and I'm now lacking my daily dose of poll data, I've turned to crunching other data to support my statistical addiction. Obviously, the first data I looked at was the final election results so I could update my "blue shift" map. Naturally, this led to an examination of the differences between my previous map (from the last blog post), which used predictions based on polls, and the final results. The map this data produced basi...]]></description>

<title>File: Deus Ex Soundtrack</title>
<link>http://www.snakebytestudios.com/content.php?id=75</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is the complete original Deus Ex soundtrack which I have converted to VBR MP3 format. I did this compilation because the official soundtrack is missing a large number of tracks, and some of those that are present are not the same versions from the original game (probably closer to the PS2 versions).<br>
<br>
But this isn't just a straight MOD-to-MP3 rip. I have also resampled any noticeably poor quality samples (e.g. hissing, distortions, pops) and arranged the tracks for mostly correct pattern order and also aurally pleasing order. Finally, I recorded the MODs to lossless PCM and then ...]]></description>

<title>Column: Parallel Computing Projects for Academic Environments</title>
<link>http://www.snakebytestudios.com/columns/academic/parallel_computing</link>
<description><![CDATA[This paper was done for a collaborative recommendation report in Technical Writing (yes, it was a required course), but it ended up being completely uncollaborative and all my own work. And as I was alone, two sections are missing that were originally planned. Nevertheless, I spent a solid month doing almost nothing but researching this paper. So, while it probably has some incorrect facts here and there, it is nothing but extensive.<br>
<br>
The purpose of this report was to give students and instructors enough information to get started with parallel computing for hands-on projects.]]></description>
