No, I’m not dead.. Uva Software is unveiled

without comments

For the last year or so, along with my dual Master’s degree, I’ve been working with a partner on what I think is a long overdue addition to the educational marketplace in the US, an open source educational software company providing software that aims at shaking up things and really increase the value of what you get today when you think educational software.

We have just released version 0.1 of our flagship product: Uva Core an open source SIF agent library.

That’s it… now it’s official…. carry on…

OSCON2007

without comments

I’m at OSCON in Portland for the week.. and I’m glad that I got to see the presentation on Mono and say hello to the Novell guys here :)

Thus far, the most interesting presentation I’ve seen was the one from Microsoft Research on “Transaction Memory for Parallelism” by Simon Peyton-Jones and his follow up session “Nested Data Parallelism in Haskell”.
