I added a few things separately covered by the thoughts of the moment section of this site. I reworked and maintained various pages, improving assorted scripts. Although I was more active in 2010 generally than in 2009, I neglected to even write this diary of activity until six years later; I added no thoughts of the moment in the intervening five years. Maybe I'll be more active in 2016. The 2010 changes I actually consider significant were:
Converted an old page to XHTML and made some improvements.
I had kept my web-site in CVS for many years (after an RCS pre-history); while the public server still uses CVS, my home system now fakes the CVS server from which the public server fetches content; I am actually using git instead, at home.
Using the Dedekind cut to extract a continuum from dense rationals.
Just as libraries with portable APIs free software from differences between operating systems, good abstractions can free mathematics from dependence on particular foundations.
An analysis of a standard physical system, both classical and quantum.
Mostly makde its scripts better.
Making partial sense of a notational system with far too many quirks. (Started in mid-2009 but not committed until 2010.)
A few observations about linguistic similarities.
A different approach to what one should say to those growing up about what they can expect to become.
An essay on tracking changes in documents, especially programs.
I wrote a little about an operating system I remember from the 1980s, on which help was actually helpful.
