With most of the paperwork done I’ve started to make use of my free time in Toronto.  In an effort to improve my Python programming I implemented a cummulative sum estimation based change point detection algorithm in Pyton based on an article by Dr. Wayne A. Taylor.  The changepoint project is available on Google code– all comments are apprecaited.

I’m moving to Canada!  By the time this post is published, I should be 40,000 ft. in the air, relaxing, reflecting upon a dream come true.  Blogging and tweeting will be light as I get settled in my new home in Canada.

AgilePakistan.org needs a new lead, if anyone in Karachi wants to take over AgilePakistan.org please email me or ping me on twitter (@sheysrebellion).

On the technical front, I’ve been continuing my climb up the Erlang learning curve. I’ve prototyped some simple applications in Erlang  and now I’ve started writing a FIX engine in Erlang.

Here’s my solution for the Talk with Distributed Erlang exercise.

You can run the program by calling the start function, but first you must generate a cookie and start two named Erlang nodes using the following commands:

1. echo -n “dh32d8yhd8″ > erlang.cookie
2. erl -name Node1 -cookie
3. erl -name Node2 -cookie
