there’s never enough documentation | there’s too much documentation

Posted on 11 October 201311 October 2013 By antipaucity 5 Comments on there’s never enough documentation | there’s too much documentation

Documentation is vital. There’s never enough. And there’s always too much. In general, these are the areas I find documentation to fail: Not Enough Too Much/Many why-tos (instead of how-tos) tutorials on things you need architecture explanation design philosophy “how we got here” “why we are here” future plans / roadmaps deltas from standards recording…

new documentation should always augment the status quo

Posted on 9 October 20131 April 2021 By antipaucity 2 Comments on new documentation should always augment the status quo

In my line of work, I often need to create documentation for clients. Documentation in general is a Good Thing™. But good documentation’s goal should always be to augment and improve upon what already exists – not to supplant, downgrade, or muddle what already exists. A prime example of this has come up with a…

on-demand, secure, distributed storage

Posted on 7 October 20133 October 2013 By antipaucity 2 Comments on on-demand, secure, distributed storage

In follow-up to a friend’s blog post on TrueCrypt, and in conjunction with some previous investigation and interests I have had, I am wondering how difficult it would be to run a tool like MooseFS in conjunction with TrueCrypt to provide a Wuala-like service as a plausibly-deniable data haven a la Cryptonomicon.

what if human cloning …

Posted on 17 July 201329 April 2014 By antipaucity 2 Comments on what if human cloning …

… instead of making a unique individual spawned from a synapse record instead created the reverse of a horcrux? For those who haven’t seen the Harry Potter movies or read J K Rowling’s books, a horcrux is an object (potentially “alive”) into which a wizard can split his/her soul to make themselves harder to kill….

zombies and vampires

Posted on 15 July 20135 July 2022 By antipaucity 6 Comments on zombies and vampires

Many people recently have asked me why I like [some] zombie and vampire stories (and, more generally, why they’re so popular right now), and after taking the time to think carefully on the topic and explain it to them in person, I thought I’d do my 3 readers a favor and write it out here…

an rts or tbs game like aoe or civ, but where the player only influences via stealth and espionage

Posted on 17 June 201313 June 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on an rts or tbs game like aoe or civ, but where the player only influences via stealth and espionage

That may be the longest blog title I’ve ever had. I know I will never be a game developer. I thought several years ago it would be something I’d like to get into, but it’s just not me. However, I do enjoy playing certain kinds of games – especially the strategy and puzzle varieties. I…

p2p cloud storage

Posted on 13 June 201312 June 2013 By antipaucity 1 Comment on p2p cloud storage

I have yet to find a peer-to-peer file storage system. You’d think that with all the p2p and cloud services out there, there’d be a way of dropping files into a virtual folder and having them show up around the network (encrypted, of course) – replicated on some kinda of RAID-over-WAN methodology. I’m thinking Cryptonomicon’s…
