It's close!

This is by far the best example of my programs effectiveness yet.

My goal now is to make it so that the peaks no longer dip down by the 0.001-0.002 they do now. But as it is, the program gets rid of those annoying standing waves and, as shown in this picture, gets rid of dastardly mode-hops as well (the many points where the graph jumps up or down). Although the peaks sink for some reason, their height is still exactly what it should be, or is at least proportional by a constant measure. Thus, it's perfectly usable. It just doesn't look very nice.

In other news, I inherited my parents old camera. To those who attended prom with me, it's the very same camera I used that night. It is now officially mine, versus merely being borrowed from time to time. I have a card reader which I intend to get functioning with Linux and then... Then... I have some pretty wild ideas of what I intend to do with it. Keep in touch, all will be revealed within the month!

Have a great morning, folks.

P.S. I had to repost this, as an anonymous user made a comment moments after I posted it that had an automatically opening link to make the viewer vote for a quote on a quotes database somewhere. Because the link opened automatically, it was impossible to delete it by direct means. If you're human, I applaud your cleverness!

So tonight I start a new blog. Why, you ask?

The simple answer is: Because I feel like it.

The more complex answer is: Because it seems like it might be fun.

I start a new job working with laser beams and doing spectroscopy on monday. It's kind of intimidating. More on that another day.

Post title generated by Minkoff's "wordcrypt.py" encryption program, for Linux. It works by replacing every byte by a word, then changing it back again via a relatively simple method involving md5sums and hex codes. If you're a linux user, I can hook you up. It's kind of inefficient (4 kb image explodes to 600 kb wordcrypt) but it works well for when I can't think of a title for a blogpost. Todays title is the wordcrypt of "001". I will personally mail a cookie to anyone who can figure out what numerical pattern I follow.

That's all for today!
Stay alive.
