def myBlog(self):

I’m on the “downward slope” of my research project and am beginning the final testing/writing phase of my MS thesis in Computer Science. I’ve been fighting the effects of Nagle’s algorithm for months now without knowing it, wondering why these tiny messages I was attempting to send via TCP/IP sockets were taking so long to propagate across the network. I also made the realization that my RPC framework (the aforementioned research project) is very sensitive to latency. In other words, it performs like crap in high-latency situations. Oh well, lesson learned.

The Missouri trip has been a nice break. For the last year and a half of my life, I’ve been plugged into the iMemories scene. While I definitely enjoyed it, I needed a vacation and a change of pace, which is what I’ve found at UMR.

P.S. Belated congrats to Daniel Jalkut on his marriage. The iPod socks are being re-routed to my house as you are away on your honeymoon. I’ll deliver them to you at WWDC.
