Henk. Koht. - Personal interests

• Satunnaisesti päivitetty lista kirjoista joita olen lukenut viime vuosina. (Books that have made some kind of impression on me.)

Kirjoittamiani ohjelmia, vanhoja - Some Old Source Code

• Recreational Software for Public Use
  Including:

  St Vitus' Lisp, ODE11 (PDP11 Octal Debugger & Machine Code Emulator), ELO (A fast "Life" Cellular Automaton for PC's), Shogi Server, and the sources of Kanji Dictionary

• PDP-11 code and links collection

• More recently, I have written some Python, Prolog, Haskell and Erlang snippets, as well as some Verilog-code for FPGA's for Spartan 3 XC3S200 Starter Board that I have used for various projects! (The last link shows my "general purpose board game machine" in its current, very premature stage.)

• Also, some Verilog-code for generating permutations, binary-coded and one-hot-coded versions.

Julkaisuja - Preprint(s?)

• On Pascal's Triangle Modulo 2 in Fibonacci Representation (The Fibonacci Quarterly, volume 42.1, February 2004)

Matematiikkaa - eksaktia mystiikkaa

• I (should!) help as an associate editor of Neil J.A. Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. If you need editing help with one of your sequences, you can contact me. Note however, that my understanding of mathematics is at the level of interested amateur/student, so for me to be of any help to you, the "theme" of your sequence(s) shouldn't verge too much from the elementary number theory and combinatorics, the fields I am myself familiar with. Moreover, I'll take my time, so be patient. Please take also a look at the F.A.Q. of OEIS.

• Concerning Catalan's Triangle A009766, here's how to use it to rank totally balanced binary sequences.

• Scheme source for a collection of Catalan automorphisms (My long-term project is still in quite a messy condition, sorry...)

• intfuns1.scm (Some Scheme-functions for computing various OEIS-sequences, continuously "developed".)

• lstfuns1.scm (Few auxiliary functions for the above.)
  
  
• A small collection of axiomatizations (For FINDER)

• Johannes Kepler: "The harmonic divisions of a single string are seven in number, not more." (Some quotes from the Book III of his "The Harmony of the World" ("Harmonices Mundi"), with further elaborations from me.)

  Josta lainaus:

  »Eräänä kauniina kesäpäivänä [18. 7. 1874] kävelin yksinäni kukkulanrinnettä, kun mieleeni juolahti yksi ainoa runonsäe: ’Olipa buusami härmiömme tää.’ Silloin en tiennyt, mitä se merkitsee — enkä tiedä nytkään —; mutta kirjoitin sen ylös, ja jonkin ajan kuluttua [22. 7. 1874] mieleeni tuli loput säkeistöstä, niin että mainittu säe oli sen viimeinen. Ja niin, askel askelelta, joutohetkinä parin seuraavan vuoden aikana, runoelma kasasi itse itsensä kokoon, niin että edellä mainittu säkeistö jäi sen viimeiseksi.»

  ja

  Härmiöjahti alkaa epäonnisissa merkeissä: laivalle on palkattu Lahtari teurastamaan härmiötä jahka se on pyydetty. Viikon merimatkan jälkeen hän kuitenkin tunnustaa häpeissään, että »vain majavan lahdata taitaa». Airuen lemmikkimajava kuulee sattumoisin keskustelun ja järkyttyy ja

  »pitkään kamalan päivän perästä,
  kun Lahtari läheltä kulki,
  se kartteli katsella erästä
  ja ujona silmänsä sulki».

  Un exemple:

       LES TROIS AMIS QUI SONT DEUX
    
    Michel, Jean et Michel se promènent.
    Pendant que Michel fume sa cigarette
      Michel ne fume pas sa cigarette.
  
      Jean a deux yeux pour qu'il voie
      son médecin, et deux pieds:
    il peut vous en mettre un quelque part.
      Michel ne rit que s'il est malade.
      Il a perdu son père à la guerre
              mais l'a trouvé
              au cimetière.
