Best. Thing. Ever.

My boss purchased the Digimesh 2.4 Development Kit. I was hoping to develop with it on Windows 7 x64, but the included drivers didn’t work. I contacted Digimesh and they linked to the support page. Somehow I was unable to find it but oh well.

The specific link to the drivers was located at ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/driver/ftdi_WindowsVistaDrivers.zip.

I was having some problems running large simulations (500k+ particles) in Geant4. Every once in a while I would get a std::bad_alloc() error. A reboot seemed to fix it but I didn’t understand WHY this would be a problem. Anyhow, I found this post which seems to be onto a possible solution. Simply increasing the memory your shell has access to seems to fix this memory error. We’ll see….

whereas increasing the stack size by using the command
ulimit -s 900000
allowed the program to run apparently without a crash:

EDIT: Nevermind, I had created a bomb. Oops.

I tweeted about this, but it was so cool I thought it deserved its own post. While the rest of Apple’s press conference yesterday was pretty worthless (27 minutes of “there is no problem” and 3 minutes of “here’s your stupid case”), there was a pretty interesting part of an Engadget article that was posted later.

Evidently Apple uses computed tomography to scan the insides of their devices when they are undergoing testing. Seeing as how I also use CT to scan cargo containers, I thought that was pretty  damn cool.
