If you're not here by mistake, then you probably want to see my:

/info

• I've graduated with an MSEE focusing on computer architecture
• I will be working for Advanced Micro Devices starting September 6th, 2005, in Austin, TX, in Design Verification.
• I used to work for Miron Livny on the GLOW project.
• I did my undergrad at a small school in Idaho, which is pretty good (from what I hear) in analog and power electronics. They do/did have a lot of graduates working for HP (aka HPaq), Intel, and Microsoft.
• I've worked at Micron Technology and AMD (and McDonald's and Pizza Hut, but not in that order).

syscall_alpha_freebsd.c - The syscall.c file for Simplescalar for the Alpha target on FreeBSD. Copy this into your simplesim-3.0/target-alpha/ directory and name it 'syscall.c'. I successfully ran `make` and `make` sim-tests on FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.2.
syscall_alpha_freebsd.c.patch - The patchfile to create the syscall.c file. Just run `patch<syscall_alpha_freebsd.c.patch` in your simplesim-3.0 directory.

Geek:

• Advanced Micro Devices - My employer.
• FreeBSD - One fine operating system.
• The Computer Architecture Page - Courtesy of UW-Madison.
• UW-Madison Computer Architecture Group.
• Distributed Folding. If you leave your computer on, at least have it do some useful work.

Music:

• Scared of Chaka. One of my favorite rock n' roll bands. This site actually has some pictures. Their info is somewhat sparse since they broke up.
• Rockin' Bones dot Net - Punk rock. Lots of it.
• Emo's (Austin, TX) - Lots of legendary bands have played there.
• Beerland (Austin, TX) - Another great music venue.
• Elvis Costello. His pre-1980 music is about as good as it gets.

Bands that I have the pleasure of knowing:

• The Minds - Portland, OR. Somewhat like new new wave.
• The Marked Men - Denton, TX. Punk rock.
• The Hunches - Portland, OR. More garage/blues style.
• Moral Crux - Punk rock from Ephrata, WA since 1983.

Political:

• The Progressive out of Madison.
• The Nation. "Unconventional Wisdom Since 1865."
• Russ Feingold, U.S. Senate (WI). The only one to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act.
• Noam Chomsky, one of the greatest minds today.

Yadda yadda:

• Awesome Radical Photos - My photo gallery.
• Salon.com - One of the better news sites.
