Holes Infinity (HI OS)

Saturday, January 12th, 2013

An operating system for inter-universe flight in year 1000001. Simple inter-galactic space flight was already achieved in deep past. Its operating system name was lost.

Disclaimer: Due to so distant future no connection with existing current operating systems is assumed.

Drink Sensibly Before The End Of The World!

To celebrate the last unique occurrence of 12.12.12 in this Century I created a Computical Art (Computicart) picture that uses minimalist software trace analysis diagrams I use for trace and log analysis patterns made even better for Accelerated Windows Software Trace Analysis course. The following diagram symbolizes several patterns. Suppose we trace personal or world events each year and form an Adjoint Thread with messages having DD=MM=YY timestamp invariant (or filter them). Then we clearly see a Discontinuity before the next Century with much bigger Time Delta than between such messages. Also these messages form a Periodic Message Block in relation to the full trace.

Process Monitor Log Visualized

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

Whereas, when naturally visualized with Dump2Picture, a CDF trace looks like a sea with embedded library, a process monitor log looks more like a fragment from a memory dump with some large scale internal structure:

Its 450×1280 slice:
