LastCalc
Today I discovered something called LastCalc. It’s very early stages, but it’s a kind of pattern matching, logic programming, functional programming system.
I’ve been experimenting with it for a few hours, you can fork my results here: http://www.lastcalc.com/z6S1svwW
To start a new sheet, just go to http://www.lastcalc.com/
The following is my declarations list so...

Me: Did you want the font in cursive or something more simple?
Client: I want it in English.
Me: English is a language - cursive is a type of font we use. Did you want it to be fancy, or simple?
Client: No! In English!
Me: English it is then.

Euler #4 - Times
The following are timings for my solution to Euler #4, with varying number of digits: (go digit-count).
user=> (time (go 1))
"Elapsed time: 0.605 msecs"

user=> (time (go 2))
"Elapsed time: 0.469 msecs"
9009
user=> (time (go 3))
"Elapsed time: 26.935 msecs"

user=> (time (go 4))
"Elapsed time: 27.673 msecs"

Euler #4 - Redo
Since realising my solution to Euler 4 was flawed, I started again!
I worked out a method of generating value pairs in order of their product:
[999 999] [999 998] [998 998] [999 997] [998 997]
[999 996] [997 997] [998 996] [999 995] [997 996] etc...
This way, the very first palindrome I come across, will most certainly be the largest!
The following is my new code (no comments yet). The...

Poppycock
Realised my Euler 4 is wrong. Working on a fix!
thedistanceinsidious asked: Second thought: sorry, breezed over it and read the time for a larger number. Carry on!
thedistanceinsidious asked: Your solution to that problem is rather brilliant and remarkably fast. I'm quite impressed.

The smallest number evenly divisible by the numbers 1 through 20 is 232792560. There’s a cleverer way to find that than what I just went through, but for the life of me, all of the factoring knowledge that I have doesn’t help me under these circumstances.

I find it amazing just how many people mistake, or have been miseducated about, closures, lambdas, and anonymous functions.
Simply amazing.

HTML5 Please →
Use the new and shiny responsibly.
Look up HTML5, CSS3, etc features, know if they are ready for use, and if so find out how you should use them – with polyfills, fallbacks or as they are.

Project Euler: Problem 4 (Efficiently) - Clojure
Problem 4 is as such:
A palindromic number reads the same both ways.
The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 * 99.
Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.
So naturally I decided to write a function which accepts a number of digits. To get the answer to problem 4, I would simply send the number 3 to my...
Progress
I’ve made some progress with a small section of my dissertation project in the previous few hours.
I found a few references for building the infix expression to s-expression translator part of my project, and implemented the operator database and definition sections.
Having to read through loads of CLISP with imperative assignments :( - attempting to convert it into Clojure code, then...

Extracting a Domain name
A friend queried me about extracting the domain name from a url string using JavaScript, as such:
domain "http://www.google.com/blah" -> "www.google.com"
I came up with the following regular expression to accomplish the job:
^(?:http://)?([^/?#]+)
It ignores the ‘http://’ segment if it exists, and ignores anything after & including: ‘/’, ‘?’, and...
