How to visually represent combinations
Suppose you have a set {A,B,C,D,E}. Each permutation has a different value. I want to graph the values on an axis. How do you do that? I guess a bar chart is the only way to go.

2 Game Theory meanderings
1. What would "cheating" look like in Cooperative Game Theory?
2. "Mechanism design" is sometimes called reverse game theory (see WIkipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_design) Could this help my earlier policy design problems?
OK, and a 3rd.... when an agent needs to change their strategy (maybe due to a phase transition caused by the 80/20rule) then pattern matching is involved because this is what helps the agent know when to change, when they detect the new pattern. It's all coming together!!!

AnyLogic 6 Mac Preferences screen
Hahaha! This got me stumped for about 20 minutes! LOL!
I wanted to adjust a setting on my AnyLogic 6 for Mac OS X. To do this, I had to go into the AnyLogic Preferences screen.
So, I went into the AnyLogic menu at the top of my screen then --> Preferences and nothing happened. I closed all my other windows and tried to figure out where the heck my Preferences window went. It was gone! I googled with nothing helpful.
Finally, I found that if you go under Tools --> there is ANOTHER Preferences option, and this one worked.
I think that Apple has documentation on how applications should work with OS X. I suspect this is a convention imposed by Apple but not recognized by AnyLogic. Apple thought that AnyLogic would put their Preferences screen under the AnyLogic menu (because that's where most OSX applications put their Preferences windows) but AnyLogic didn't do that, they put it under Tools.
Anyway, works now.
The whole reason I wanted to get into Preferences was because the Code Completion feature wasn't working on my AnyLogic. (I got a new computer so I had a new AnyLogic installation, and was trying to make the settings work how I'm used to.)
I figured out that my code completion wasn't working because it was set to Alt + Space instead of Control + Space.
Wheee!

I am learning AJAX
I just wanted to put these links somewhere I wouldn't forget. I guess I should learn to use delicious or something like that. Deja vu. OH well. Gotta run, here they are.

This one is awesome, too: It speaks EXACTLY to my "era", gently guiding me from early 00's technology into modern times...

The Distress of the Privileged
My RSS reader showed me an article this week I enjoyed: The Distress of the Privileged. I was interested in this article because I value social justice. I also work and study in a university where many people are trying very hard to eliminate racism, particularly toward Aboriginal people, and to become a more inclusive and welcoming place. This means that privileged people are being asked to examine their privilege so that they can better understand the issues that are invisible to them but harmful toward Aboriginal people. This article looks at a privileged person, a 1950s western married white man, and presents an analogy that could help privileged and unprivileged people understand each other's perspective.
I found out about this article because I am subscribed to a blog called No, Seriously, What About Teh Menz? which I enjoy :).

Misterfire
Here is an iTunes link to the band, Misterfire.
I love the combination of beautiful piano and heavy guitars in Cycle of Silence.

No STARTTLS command has been given.
I don't have much experience debugging SMTP. A colleage of mine (thanks GV!) figured out how to enable debugging so we could actually see the the SMTP transactions.
Anyway, this morning I was getting the SMTP error, "No STARTTLS command has been given."
I was like, um, dude, I am doing this:
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
But then the error went away when I deleted mail.jar from my build path, and made sure the path only contained mailapi.jar and smtp.jar. Go figure!!!

Oops my images
Hahaha, it looks like all the images are busted on my blog theme. Sorry, readers!
I'm having one of those days where I find this hilarious. Broken images! *snicker*
Look at all those little X icons scattered around my blog! Like sprinkles! Oh, I know: Error glitter!
Even though Apple sent me plenty of notices that they were going to change their hosting ( dot Mac or iCloud or whatever the latest services are called) but I didn't figure out this would mean I should change my links on my website.
Anyway, I'm planning to fix it. In the meantime, it kind of looks like renovations around here!

Sweet Hibernate links
A while ago, I learned about Jersey and started a blog post to keep track of links. (Hmm, perhaps i should get with the times and start using some kind of online bookmark management service?)
Until I figure that out, and as I focus on learning Hibernate, here's my collection of Hibernate links!
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.3/reference/en/html/tutorial.html#tutorial-firstapp
This one is JPA, not hibernate, but related:
