PCPlus 280: Writing a spellchecker

I write a monthly column for PCPlus, a computer news-views-n-reviews magazine in the UK (actually there are 13 issues a year — there’s an Xmas issue as well — so it’s a bit more than monthly). The column is called Theory Workshop and appears in the Make It section of the magazine. When I signed up, my editor and the magazine were gracious enough to allow me to reprint the articles here after say a year or so. What I’ll do is publish the article from a year ago or so here when I purchase the current issue. […]

PCPlus 278: Rainbow tables

I write a monthly column for PCPlus, a computer news-views-n-reviews magazine in the UK (actually there are 13 issues a year — there’s an Xmas issue as well — so it’s a bit more than monthly).

The Daily Shoot 108

I’d skipped a couple of assignments because I was travelling to England (plus a couple that really didn’t inspire me at all), so it wasn’t until Wednesday, March 3 (#ds108) that the Daily Shoot came up with something I could sink my teeth into: “Weathered objects have a lot of character: cracked, rusted, bleached, etc. Give us your best weathered shot today.” […]
