Chris Gore: M.S. Thesis
http://www.cgore.com/thesis
I received an M.S. in Computer Science from Missouri University of Science and Technology. For work specializing in evolutionary computation. My thesis advisor was Dr. Daniel Tauritz. Feel free to read over my thesis (in PDF). Or look at the slides from my defense (in PDF). Or the lecture notes (in PDF). For the CS 448 class I did in 10/04/2006, introducing them to the basics of evolutionary computation. You can also see my thesis online at MS&T's research repository [here].

Chris Gore: Christianity
http://www.cgore.com/christianity
I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the One True God. I believe that the Bible is completely true, although I believe that people are often confused about what it means, most often Christians. This is most often the case with the front and the back, Genesis and Revelation. I am currently a member of Hope Lutheran Church. In Saint Charles, Missouri. It is a Lutheran Church, ELCA. The traditional Lutheran Statement of Faith. Can a Christian believe in biological (Darwinian) evolution?

Chris Gore: Programming
http://www.cgore.com/programming
Programming is what I spend most of my time doing. It is my profession and my main hobby. Like most programmers, I have extreme opinions about programming languages, and I like to share them. My favorite programming languages is Lisp. More specifically, ANSI Common Lisp, even more specifically, SBCL. I truly believe that if you don't have all of the features of a complete lisp. At work these days I code mostly in Clojure. Which is just close enough to Common Lisp to make it quite enjoyable. Quite a lot&#...

Chris Gore: Photos
http://www.cgore.com/photos
Photos of myself, typically silly and undignified. Monica and I got married Saturday, May 27, 2006. These are the photos taken by our friend Madelyn, an aspiring photographer. Pictures of my family. You can't have a website and have a pet cat without having pictures of said cat on said website. It's against the law not to.

Chris Gore: Outdoors
http://www.cgore.com/outdoors
I'm outdoors a lot, but not as much as I might like. I do a lot of day hikes and occasionally get to do a multi-day backpacking trip, which I really enjoy. Backpacking is one of my favorite things to do.

Chris Gore: Cryptography
http://www.cgore.com/cryptography
I've started playing around with Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, and I have a few links related to them. The Voynich Manuscript is a handwritten book from the early 1400s. The author of the book is unknown, as is the purpose. It is written in some sort of cyphertext which has yet to be decoded in spite of centuries of effort.

Chris Gore: Journaling
http://www.cgore.com/journaling
I have been keeping a daily journal for years now, and I think you should too. It is one of the best forms of meta-cognition available to man. You can't just think, you need to think about how you think. In order to do so well. That is what meta-cognition is, by the way, 'thinking about thinking.' Keeping a journal every day for years allows you to look back at how you actually thought, instead of the rewiring our brains do every day. Why Keep a Journal? I use a nice leather-bound journal and non-erasabl...

Chris Gore: Microblog
http://www.cgore.com/microblog
I don't use this anymore. I added a similar functionality to one of my current side projects, Thinking Bicycle. Which has a concept of 'linkstreams'. You can view my public linkstreams. On that site. I'm leaving up the old content for reference. Email me if you would like an account on Thinking Bicycle. Emacs Follow-Mode is awesome! Two-column (or three or .) a file like a newspaper! Good Agile, Bad Agile. Cloud server showdown: Amazon AWS EC2 vs Linode vs DigitalOcean. Shakespearean Verse and Prose.
