more ...Today I tried to search "clojure" using the search box at the top right corner, but could not find anything. I know I wrote a few posts on Clojure recently, so there must be something wrong with the search functionality here. This is a Drupal site, and this should be …
more ...The old cat tree of Mayori and Tom were bought nearly 4 years ago and has started to show its age. I have been shopping for a new cat tree for a while now. I need something that is nicer than the typical carpet covered cat tree and goes well …
more ...Mayori is mostly a very sweet girl. However, she can have evil eyes as well. Look at the follow photo when she wants to hunt to the toy mouse. She certainly looks more like a leopard than a domestic cat!
Mayori and Tom grow up together ever since they were still little kittens in the shelter. However, they still love to fight, especially for the best spot for window-watching the outside.
As a cat, Mayori has impeccable taste, as represented by her favorite furniture in the house --- a Bertoia Diamond Lounge chair.
It is certainly a modern classic and a piece of highly functional cat furniture as well – Mayori can attack Tom easily from all different angels and only need to …
more ...Mayori loves drinking fresh-served water, especially from a wine glass. Obviously she believes that is the right way to drink water for a cat princess.
Mayori loves to play hide-and-seek with us. The top drawer of our dresser is now her new hiding place.
Cat in a pizza box?

more ...This post continues the previous one, on my solutions for small clojure programming problems on 4clojure.com. Doing these problems seems to be addictive as I could not seem to stop myself. The site recently added a golf league feature, so one can see how short one's own solution compared …
more ...For someone without previous Lisp experience, the hardest part of learning Clojure programming seems to be the functional way of doing things. It is like math, one really needs to do some exercises in order to master it. At this point, 4clojure.com seems to be the best place for …
more ...I recently started to learn clojure programming. It is an interesting experience. Ever since I learned computer programming almost 20 years ago, in Pascal, on a VAX minicomputer terminal, I have not experienced this newbie sensation with a computer language. The sense of excitement and novelty is high, and the …
more ...Yunyao and I work in a research center of a major technology company. At this time of a year, we attend job talks every week.
