Battle of the Giants

I spent the day with Rune and Lars at the university trying to find an I/O efficient algorithm for computing the measure of the union of axis-aligned rectangles. We failed miserably of course, but the project is not due until Friday, so there is still time ;).After living with constant rebuilds for far to long I've altered my autotools build setup to use libtool and create shared libraries on the platforms that support it. Since the test applications using the engine are rather small relying on the features of the engine it was very annoying having to recompile them everytime a module in the engine changed. The test applications are now simply loading the shared libraries thereby automatically using the most recent build, really nice since the test programs change seldom.

To get some action around here I'm considering challenging Janus to a "google war", his recent posting mentioned some keywords google put him on top of the results with. Among those were the mispelled "honary oscar 2005" and the weird word from the movie Mean Girls, "grool". Come and get me googlebot, and rank me better than him!
