"Headless Chicken" could be used to describe me lately. This blog has definitely taken a spot on the back burner. I have today, however, managed to start a small programming project and begin an article on it. I've been working on a layout for articles that I write to post at benrehberg.com. The project is just a simple program to find prime numbers, and discusses the different methods of efficiency in finding them with a computer. I think that this program is a good measure of processor and memory speed in terms of number-crunching.
The script finds and lists all prime numbers between five and one hundred million. This poor little AMD 350! It's been at least five hours and it has only searched just over nineteen million. It may not finish before I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. The tablet is almost done with it - they both started within a minute of each other and the tablet is almost at 73 million.
Anyway, I've started an article and am getting the layout down for it. See what I've done so far and tell me if you like the layout. It's simple. I used the same dimensions as the blog.
