It’s just something that I decided to do for the hell of it, and it’s kind of neat to be able to point to an Amazon and say ‘Hey! That’s me!’

If you have your very own website and would like to do the same, here’s how:

Within Google Calendar, click ‘Settings’ and then click ‘Calendars’.  For each calendar that you want to share, Click to either share or edit the sharing for that particular calendar.  Check the box to make the calendar public, and to display the free/busy info as desired.  Then, go to ‘Calendar Details’ and look for Calendar Address and click the ‘HTML’ button, and then click the link for the configuration tool.

Alternatively, just use this link, and choose all of the appropriate settings.  Don’t forget to set the time zone correctly!  All calendars chosen must be made public per the instructions above, lest they don’t display.

CentroidDelegate<Point> pointCentroidFunc =
    delegate( IEnumerable<Point> collection, int count )
    {
        double sumX = 0;
        double sumY = 0;

        foreach( Point curPoint in collection )
        {
            sumX += curPoint.X;
            sumY += curPoint.Y;
        }

        Point newCentroid = new Point( sumX / count, sumY / count );

        return newCentroid;
    };

seqKMeans = new SequentialImpl<Point>( ( p1, p2 ) => p1.DistanceSquared( p2 ), pointCentroidFunc );
parKMeans = new ParallelImpl<Point>( ( p1, p2 ) => p1.DistanceSquared( p2 ), pointCentroidFunc );

The class diagram thereof.  Again, will add more stuff at a later point, but for now, this is good.

The Word Press interface, via /wp-admin

This method is common to all Word press installs, and is what most people start off using.  For me, It’s horribly inconvenient as it requires a number of clicks, and it’s all web based which requires a context switch (more on that later).  Since this is the base, I seek to find things better than this.

Microsoft Word

This has the most features out of all of them.  It’s Word, for crying out loud!  However, the interface still needs to be refined, there’s no ‘one-click’ publishing.  After setting up the blog, and then typing up a post as would any other document, it then copies it to a new Document interface where you have to hit publish again.  It’s not conducive to spur of the moment posts, but if there’s an existing document, or you need to use all the features of Word, then this method is where it’s at.

Word This Chrome Extension

Automagically adds the link which you are visiting into the post.  Very convenient, however, due to the nature of the extension, if you need to navigate away, It doesn’t retain the information.  Also, If what you’re writing isn’t related to a specific page on the internet, then another step has to be taken to remove the irrelevant link.

Windows Live Writer.

I’m currently typing this up in Windows Live Writer.  So far, it’s the best solution I’ve found.  It integrates easily, and it’s a client side app so I don’t have to worry.  I can also edit the source that gets posted directly if need be, and it has support for content upload.  I’ll expand more on this after I publish (this is the test of it!) But so far, I have almost no qualms with it.  Only thing it may need is a Hotkey to bring it up on the computer for super fast spur-of-the-moment blog posts.  Maybe there’s a plugin for it.
