Automatic CS Paper Generator

Filed under: General — russell @ 8:40 pm

As much time as I spend working on papers... I could not believe I could have been using this thing all this time. Check it out:

"SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers."

Outlook Add-in

Filed under: General — russell @ 11:15 am

I have been thinking about writing an outlook add-in that would do the whole free and busy thing (appointment calendaring) with a web application/service. I have wanted this since netfolders, because I want people to be able to see my calendar but not the details; so people can schedule when I am available. It is hard for me to believe that no company has written this. I think it would be really useful (maybe its just me)... Anyway Microsoft talks about howto write an Outlook add-in using .Net here:
