Handling Complex Wait..Until Conditions
Last Wednesday I discussed some of the internal workings of discrete-event simulations. I should also mention that all of these discussions are based on a program running in a single thread that is trying to coordinate many activities. There are … Continue reading

Discrete-Event Simulation: Looking Under The Hood
Yesterday I mentioned a few constructs that a discrete-event simulation system would have to have. They are: A time-ordered future events queue where events are created and entered into the queue, and then processed one by one in time order. … Continue reading
An Even Bigger Difference Between Continuous Simulation and Discrete-Event Simulation
Yesterday I gave an overview of how time is (typically) handled in continuous and discrete-event simulations. Today I want to discuss an even bigger difference between the two. Discrete-event simulation is probably well-named because it describes what it does, which … Continue reading
A Major Difference Between Continuous Simulation and Discrete-Event Simulation
I’ve mentioned continuous simulation and discrete-event simulation previously but I wanted to take some time to illustrate the differences between them. For today I’m going to keep it simple. The truth is that when you know what you’re doing, you … Continue reading
A Third Experiment In Video Screen Capture
The third experiment involved finding tools that would allow me to process video in arbitrary resolutions. The only unpaid editing tool I was able to locate in a reasonable amount of time (defined as two hours of reading, but not … Continue reading
A Second Experiment In Video Screen Capture
Yesterday I learned a few things about capturing video using Roxio Creator NXT Pro 3, and made a list of things to do that would simplify the process. The first item on that list was to set the capture area … Continue reading
A First Experiment In Video Screen Capture
Capturing video of older, running software can be a bear. A link to the full-size YouTube video and a smaller in-situ version are included directly below. I kept things simple for this first evening just to see what issues I’d … Continue reading
