things I don't know

I took this list from What CS majors should know.

I think it is fun to list things I don't know so I did it =D. I actually found it to be a cool exercise -- maybe I should do a fun graphics project and learn about Open GL!

i wrote this because, while i think the things on this list are potentially worth knowing, and I actually think it's an awesome list of project ideas as well as good food for thought for people developing CS curricula (many of the things I don't know are great exercises!) -- I thought it was really weird to say that every CS student should know all of them. I have a CS degree and I learned very few of the things I do know inside my degree.

I classify "do know" as anything that I have a reasonable grasp of or at least some basic experience with -- the kind of experience I'd expect a CS student to be able to get. If I say I don't know something, it means either I know pretty much nothing about it (for "gr

# Phasing Piano for Sonic Pi, coded by Darin Wilson
# inspired by Steve Reich's Clapping Music
#
# This piece consists of two threads, each playing the same short melodic phrase.
#
# On every third pass through the phrase, one of the threads shifts the phase by
# 1/4 of a beat, moving it more and more out of phase. Eventually, it comes
# back around to where it started, and the piece ends.

# Ambient experiment for Sonic Pi (http://sonic-pi.net/)
#
# The piece consists of three long loops, each of which plays one of
# two randomly selected pitches. Each note has different attack,
# release and sleep values, so that they move in and out of phase
# with each other. This can play for quite awhile without
# repeating itself :)
