Projects

My book is running first in my mind - a book for baby geeks. Age group will probably be 10 to 12ish, give or take. I'm hoping a precosious 7yr old might enjoy it too. I probably picked up my first coding book at about 11, but there seems to be very few, if any options available today. I am choosing Ruby I think. More in a later blog.

Second project is to make my psion into a useable linux machine. I do need to get the flexi fixed first, but then off we go. I want this machine for bacis PIM stuff, writing my book and doing the next thing on the list:

Last: write a computer language and VM for a massiavely parallel system. I've blogged before that I believe this is the way things will be and I want a playground where I can test my thoughts (before the hardware catches up). I should spend some time to identify the issues with the other options (like ERLang, Occam (pi) and more traditional threading models an POSIX threads, java, etc.).
