A book for numerical analysis

Very recently, I stumbled across this book for numerical analysis/methods. While I have not had time to read it, it looks promising. Licensed under GFDL 1.2 (or later), this book is free (as in beer and as in speech).

My sincere thanks to the author for writing this book and making it available under a free license.

A new calendar for the healthplex

Do you know when to go to the fitness center? Well, now you have one more tool in our toolbox which will help you remember when you need to be in the fitness center.

1. It is a public calendar. You do not need to sign up with anyone to see it.
2. It is a secure connection (RC4 128 bit secure connection). Keep crackers from altering the information you see from the information we send.
3. It is a Google Calendar. Add it to your list of Google Calendars and see it with your other Google Calendars to see for schedule overlaps and avoid any delays.

Are you ready? Jump in ...

Just want to know the hours the fitness center is open? No problem! Just click here. :D

Side-note: IE8, the latest iteration of Windows Internet Explorer, seems to be better than its predecessors. A healthy competition exists in the web browser market, with Apple, Google, Mozilla, Opera et al trying to grab a slice of the pie. Even Microsoft seems to be serious about its commitment to standardization with IE8.

For a comparison of web browsers, please click here. As of March 19, 2009, kdg recommends Mozilla Firefox stable. Get it here. However, I must add that kdg believes in standardization, thus also supports the spirit of "any browser" as Jacob Ozolins said, "All browsers support the internet, and this internet site supports all browsers". Please visit the any browser website for details.

Mozy: But wait, we've got more!

Mozy offers free back-up accounts with 2 GB free space. Like a classic, "but wait there's more" trick, it also offers 256 MB additional space for "referrals" to both the person who refers and the person who is joins.

Mozy says it applies the referral when the person who joins actually starts backing up. Here is a link if you want to give me (and yourself) 256 MB of additional space:

A cursory web search shows that EMC (NYSE:EMC) owns Decho Corp. which in turn owns Mozy. (The above has not been confirmed from any source. Please use common sense when investing!)

I do not own any interest in NYSE:EMC as of this writing.

Update: I must mention that Michael Horowitz has a two-part article on " Everybody likes Mozy--except me".

Songbird ... now featuring HomeStarRunner.com



As SongBird readies itself for a grand launch, I would like to give you a sneak peek on it ... Songbird will be very innovative, and just like Mozilla Firefox, it will be very extensible.

Just check out this one feature, if you are a Home Star Runner fan (or not) ... and imagine the possibilities of a free, and open source media player, that is made with you in mind ...
