I'm working on an app that allows you to (smoothly, quickly) see full resolution images on your iPhone, by reading png tiles of the original image. The tiles are created on your pc using a java app that stores the tiles in a sqlite db, it can also rasterize pdf to images using the java.net pdf-renderer.

Anyone knows a better pdf renderer that works well with java ?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I didn't implement the machine learning algorithms for myself, because there are some really good packages out there and I know I don't have the smarts to better them. Keep in mind that I didn't really have any success: There seem to be two main ML packages, Weka and Orange. I personally preferred Orange, it has a nice graph-based UI for linking various components together; when you've figured that out it can script…

I've heard that the easiest way of predicting greyhound racing is to ignore the form book and monitor the odds changes following bets being placed at the very last minute by those with insider information...

Here's a random greyhound racing tip which a man in a bar told me, so it must be true: before the race, leave it as long as possible to bet and watch the dogs. The one that is quivering and dancing and looks must wound up generally wins. Wait until you get a race where only one dog looks that way.

Minesweeper for Emacs. It's a pain, 'cause I'm new to programming elisp, which has some rough edges, and I haven't found great references for it.

The other games are good references.

Yeah, I'm using gomoku extensively. But there are some questions that are more about the langauge -- for example, it took me a while to figure out you can't have a default value for an optional argument.

I have been working on and off on a web-based (C#/.NET) front end for MSSQL to make working with the beast easier.

http://github.com/sonnym/csmsadmin

Runs on IIS >= 5, and Mono on Apache. It does most of what I have needed for daily tasks, so it has been some time since I have worked on it; should probably get back to it in the near future . . .
