Read the book, which I obtained from the British Council library, when I was around 15. I have to say that the book made quite an impression on me at the time.
I'm a computer scientist in Mauritius, an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. For the past three years, I've been working as an adviser in Government. Before that, I ran my training and consulting company. And, prior to that, I was a professor at the largest university of the country.
On my blog, I write about how Mauritius can become a smart island with smart people by leveraging technology and innovation.
My blog dates from 2010 but I've been blogging on my family blog https://www.noulakaz.net/ since 2004. This blog is more eclectic. I write about my family, sports, TV shows and movies, etc.
I am quite impressed by the image quality and the sharpness for something that was used in the 60s. Of course, digital screens are better now but whoever invented the Eidophor at that time did extremely well.
Thanks for sharing. This is a post I wrote way back in 2007 and, even though, as many have pointed out, the algorithm is very inefficient, it is still a good illustration of how powerful regular expressions are.
When I am explaining the basics of regular expressions to people, I always refer them to this post to make them realize that regular expressions are not only glorified search terms. In general, they are amazed :-)
RIP Atul Chitnis. Met him during a conference in Mauritius around 2002 and we had a great conversation about open source software in poor(er) countries.
How does reading on a 3" screen compare to reading to 6"? Personally, I had a Sony Clié a few years ago with a small screen (2.5" I guess) and I didn't have lots of problems reading technical docs from it. But then, they were mostly ASCII text and the Clié could reflow the text to fit the screen. Does the same thing happen on the iPhone or the Kindle?
Things will become clearer in the coming weeks.
