So… AI-class and ML-class are over

Some of you know that I’ve been taking the on line Artificial Intelligence and  Machine Learning courses offered by Stanford this semester. I decided to enroll in both out of curiosity, and to enjoy the privilege of being taught by World renowned researchers. Also, I wanted to take part of an experiment in teaching to a massive amount [...]

Server migration

Some of you might have noticed the site has been down lately. The old server was running a bunch of things, some being much more critical than a personal blog, so to prevent further problems I simply decided to turn it down for a couple of days. As was to be expected, I didn’t have [...]

Cherokee 1.2: batteries included

Today we’ve released Cherokee 1.2. There’s been a big bump in everything, and the shiny new version number is by far the least improved feature of all.

It’s official: Cherokee Summit 2010 is on its way!

It is no secret that our Cherokee-Project Community has been growing steadily and relentlessly over the last couple of years. In fact, it has been doing so well that we’ve reached a point where holding a conference about the project actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have been asking about this, [...]

Cherokee screencast season kicks off

On a previous post I introduced our first Cherokee Project screencast. We were going to wait for a new and improved website before we made them public, but what the hell! Why wait? I’m sure the new Cherokee-Project Screencast Collection will come in handy for many of you. From here I’d like to thank P.V. [...]
