in Black Diversity in IT and Computer Science — Elliott C. Back on Elliott Back's Blog
It's a bit disheartening that I can't think of any prominent blacks in tech (besides someone like John Thompson (CEO of Symantec), who doesn't have a technical background). I hope to fix that one day =)

in UC Berkeley Algorithms (CS170) Textbook on Sproutly
Original source (and more recent): http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~vazirani/algorithms...

An aside: how easy is it to sit in a lecture without being enrolled? I'm living on/near the Berkeley campus this summer and would like to attend a few lectures in the CS dept.

Jerry It really depends on the size of the class. If it's a small class and the teacher knows everyone by name, it's slightly different from blending in with the mass of faces in a large lecture hall. If it's a small class that's full, you might not be able to sit in. You COULD tell the professor you are auditing. Just check http://schedule.berkeley.edu for class size and schedule.

How negligent. Libraries like HTML Purifier simple enough to use -- what plausible reason do they have for allowing that type of markup?

in Cron -> Too Much Email — Elliott C. Back on Elliott Back's Blog
With regards to e-mail build-up over time: I usually find time (about twice a month) to just go through my mailboxes and purge the automated messages. Kinda tedious, but it doesn't bother me much since many of them have already been categorized.

in How To Critique The Valley on How To Split An Atom
Wow, I just happened to read the comments for this post on TechCrunch and noticed someone who mentioned Gainesville and UF -- I'm a student there (no longer a freshman -- woo), interested in the startup community/scene and had no idea about the Gainesville Underground Technology conf. Did you guys do any advertising around campus?
