I’m not quite sure of the etiquette yet about posting information on problem solutions, but my solution was just a brute-force hack anyway…nothing elegant about it, so I’m not entirely interested in posting my code here. If it was a “nice and elegant” optimal solution – the story might be a little different…meh.

As far as the title goes, that may or may not persist. I was going for something that reflected my interest in:

• Systems administration
• Software development
• Australian Rules Football (hence the “footy” for any non-Aussie who may be reading)
• Other, more cerebral pursuits, like mathematics (hence the intersection sign "∩")

And yes, that combination pretty much assures me of my blog being “unique” – I don’t expect too many other people to be interested in all of those topics, so intersection is actually an appropriate operator for the blog name. But – if there’s anyone else out there that is also sitting in that very small part of a rather unique 4-way Venn diagram, let me know…

Hopefully I can also find more time in 2009 and onwards for developing my photography skills – Nick has already mentioned something interesting for early in ’09, so we’ll see how that pans out. I expect that I’ll post the end results of any interesting shots somewhere here – was reading about HDR the other day, and it sounds pretty damn cool from a purely technical perspective. Some people aren’t fond of the results, but I think it’s just another way that DSLRs are “expanding the envelope” of what is possible with digital technology that simply wasn’t practical with film-based media.
