A conference schedule table generator program

I use a conference schedule table for a long time. A few months ago, a blog http://www.realtimerendering.com/ wrote about that schedule table and there was some discssion how to improve the table. This table is optimized to look up the next closest deadline date. So when I got a rejection of my paper, I looked up this table.

After the discussion, the author of the table generator program made the program free software. You can download the source code from http://code.google.com/p/gen-conference-schedule-table/, new BSD license.

I downloaded the program and run the unit test script, then you can see the following figure. A html image map file is also generated and if you put it into a html file, the image is a clickable map. (but not in this blog...)

I have one more wish that Eurographics's conference schedule table has this figure.

Geometric Multiplicity: eignvectors (2)

If eigenvectors of a matrix A are independent, it is a happy property. Because the matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix S that column vectors are eigenvectors of A . For example, Why this is a happy property of A? Because I can find A's power easily. A^{10} is not a big deal. Because Λ is a diagonal matrix and power of a diagonal matrix is quite simple. A^{10} = SΛ^{10} S^{-1} Then, why if I want to compute power of A ? That is the same reason to find eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are a basis of a matrix. A matrix can be represented by a single scalar. I repeat this again. This is the happy point, a matrix becomes a scalar. What can be simpler than a scalar value. But, this is only possible when the matrix S's columns are independent. Because S^{-1} must be exist. Now I come back to my first question. Is the λ's multiplicity related with the number of eigenvectors? This time I found this has the name. Geometric multiplicity (GM): the number of in...

Tezuka Osamu's Black Jack, "Shrinking"

I like several novel authors. My first favorite author is probably Teduka, Osamu. I still love him. The list grows by adding Hoshi, Shinichi, Agatha Christie, Hermann Hesse, and so forth. My first favorite article of Tezuka was Atom as most of the (boy's) Tezuka fans did. But my favorite is Black Jack. I try to summarize one story, it is still quite vivid in my memory. I first read this story when I was 13 - 15 years old. I re-read it at least several times since Black Jack is composed of many short episodes. The title should be "ちぢむ (SHRINKING)" or it might be "縮む(Shrinking)". (It is not so convenient to translate this to English, since English does not have a system to say the exact same word in several ways. So I just simulate it with capital letters.) Black Jack is a genius surgeon, but he does not have the license. In short, his medical activity is illegal. His skill is top level in the world, but, the fee is also out-of-law expensive. In the story ...

My solution of Google drive hang up at "One moment please"

Today I installed Google drive to my Windows 7 environment to share files with my Linux machines. After sign in, the application window said "processing," then it hanged up. There was a button "you must enable javascript". I pushed it, then "One moment please..." after 5 minutes, I exited the program tried it again. It seems some security setting causes this problem. My solution: set https://accounts.google.com as a trusted site. Procedure: Open the control panel Go to network and control Go to Internet Options Open Security Tab Click Trusted sites Click the "site" button copy & paste https://accounts.google.com to "Add this website to the zone" and click Add button Now it worked for me. But if I removed this site, it still works. That puzzled me a bit...
