For those who don’t know, I left my academic position at UCI after the 2009-10 academic year and am now Chief Scientist at Hiperwall Inc. full time.
Hiperwall is keeping me very busy as we are getting ready to release our version 1.2 software. This new software is significantly enhanced from our first release. We added a powerful slideshow creator/editor, made the Sender more capable, added GPU assist and other enhancements to the Streamer, and introduced a scheduling capability to allow the wall to switch environments unattended. We also added a simple web services interface to allow control of the wall via web browsers (including iPad and iPhone) and other networked control devices. Under the hood, we provide a faster and more intuitive content manager.
Once the new version is done, we have lots of ideas for future capabilities, so keep your eyes on this space and hiperwall.com.

*** Updated with a new account name that is less pretentious than the old one. ***
I just created a YouTube account where I may post movies from time to time. All that is up there now is video of my dog and wife eating corn from the same cob.

I had to use the name StephenFJenks because StephenJenks was already taken.

I switched this website from Drupal to WordPress today, but not very well. I had intended to do it cleverly, but it turns out Copy and Paste were my friends as I had to recreate the pages in WordPress from Google’s cache (thanks Google, though you missed a couple of pages, which I thought was quite odd). Therefore, some of the links to PDFs and such aren’t quite right at the moment. I’ll work on it.
I also tried using the Wordpad app on my iPad to make a post. That app is pretty buggy, but perhaps it got through.

This is a test post from the WordPress app on the iPad. I wonder if the password is sent in the clear, as seems to be the default with WordPress (and just about anything else).
Kinda nifty that I can apparently add photos easily…

I uploaded some pictures from my niece’s soccer tournament at UCI this weekend:

I’ve started filling in content on the Research section of the website, and will continue over the next few weeks.

I’m really enjoying my new iPhone 3GS, particularly because of its large capacity and speed. I can fit my entire music collection on it and a bunch of apps and still have space left. The speed is really evident when launching AIM and many other apps that are slow to start. Also, the key press lag I sometimes noticed on the old iPhone is gone.
I like the new ear buds, as they have volume control on the little clicker. The sound quality seems to be the same through the ear buds, but the internal speakers on the 3GS seem a bit louder and maybe better than before.

I just got a new iPhone 3GS after having an original (2G) iPhone for about 2 years. While there wasn’t anything wrong with the old iPhone, I longed for the speed of the new one, as well as a few of the new features.
