CORSIS

Just received some fresh Mono 2.0 binaries for Solaris 10/x86 . Many thanks pablo! Mono 2.2 to follow after the weekend *^o^*!

After reading the following blog post by David R. MacIver about hash code collisions in java strings: For reasons you either know about by now or don’t care about, I was curious as to how well String’s hashCode was distributed (I suspected the answer was “not very”). I ran a few quick experiments to verify this. For your amusement, here is a list of all hash collisions between alphanumeric strings of size 2: http://www.drmaciver.com/collisions.txt and here is a list of all which don’t collide with any others http://www.drmaciver.com/noncolliding.txt Some statistics: There are 3844 alphanumeric strings of size 2. Of these 3570 collide with at least one other string. That is, 274 of these strings (or about 7% of them) *don’t* collide with something else. Oh well. It’s a good thing no one would be stupid enough to rely on hashCode to distinguish the contents of two objects. I tested things with .NET 3.5 and MONO 1.9.1 on a 32-bit Windows Vista: running on .NET 3.5: 3844 two-char string...

Jonel Rienton has provided a Mono 1.9.0 binary package for Solaris 10/x86 ! I am thankful to him for his kindness^_^!

Code generation subsystem of Benihime is undergoing major refactoring with two goals: extensive use of generics in the public API and maximum amount of code reuse. With major concern about the performance of the current regex implementation in Mono (1.2.6) , I wish I already had enough time to spare today to submit a standards-compliant regex compiler replacement as a contribution. I hope Benihime to become one in the near future.

Duncan Mac Leod from Tucan Entertainment has been kind enough to share his Mono 1.2.6 binaries for Solaris 10/x86 .

I think I've finally managed to botch it all up. I created a JRE-style zipped package, which you can download here 1,2 at your own risk ;). Whoa, it's taken me 4 days just to get so far with mono/solaris. ^o^ I wanna sleep like the relakkuma now hehe... These binaries are compiled for 32-bit/x86 processors. They also run on 64-bit/x86-64 processors. They are not compiled for running winforms applications. To extract the archive use: "gtar -zxvf"

I've been trying to compile Mono, 1.2.4 and 1.2.5, on Solaris 10/x86 and x86-64 for the last couple of days and I am going to write the horrible amount of effort and time this has cost me so far. If I ever get to have a mono directory with a functional build of mono, the first thing I'm going to do is make the binaries publicly available.

^_^ Here is the new statistics view for frequency lists from the 2007-02-05 pre-alpha release. I'm still actively working on frequency lists at GUI and lower levels and some of the following features might be ready for the next release: An option to have the program display in the statistics view for frequency lists either the count of tokens that are a certain number of characters long or the count of types that are a certain number of characters long. * Tenka Text 2007-02-05 and WordSmith Tools 4 can only display the first but not the latter. There is only a little GUI work to deliver this option. Live updates. Once in place, users will be able to add or remove files from their frequency lists without the need to recalculate everything from the start. Well, that's all the news about Tenka Text 2007-02-05. Let's move on to more personal stuff. Logographic Failure I found out that the "Tenka" Logo 「天花」, which was my personal attempt at creating a digital seal with...

I have renamed parts of the class library. Tenka.Text.Segmentation This is the new name of the namespace which was previously called Tenka.Text.Enumerators. I will be providing some default segment enumerator implementations until I have bought and read a good book on IL, which will mark the turn of events paving the way to runtime-compiled customizable segmentation. I found a way to do this using C# syntax at http://www.codeproject.com/cs/algorithms/matheval.asp . The new frequency list is also almost done and will completely replace the old one. I have a hard time doing the necessary encapsulation work because I keep thinking that I might be doing something that might adversely affect the performance.

Hi, this is my first blog post. I have established this blog to keep people in the know about my personal open-source corpus analysis project Tenka Text . It is my, Cetin Sert's, open-source to Mike Scott's WordSmith Tools (4). As you can click the above link to read and get an introductory idea about what or what not my project is, I will allow myself to skip an introduction and tell only the most recent development news. Back to Basics Well... first of all, I have decided to refocus on the sub-gui parts of the code once again. I saw a need to rethink some of the basic design elements like the overall inheritance/relation model of the classes and structs in the Tenka.Text namespace. Before going back on to the GUI development, I want to simplify the word enumerators, do away with the bulky interfaces, learn more about the available inlining optimizations, move from public fields to public properties and minimize the public exposure of pointers.
