The abstract of my thesis:
In this thesis, a Zeroth level Classifier System (ZCS) controller is compared to a hand-made controller (which features some simple rules to control the robot). The experiments are done in a world with continuous time and space. Their task is surveillance. The controllers control a LEGO Mindstorms robot with 4 wheels, a touch sensor, a pen device and a camera which can track the pen track. The pen track fades over time, and is used by the controllers to communicate indirectly.
The experiments are done in three worlds. Each experiment features three robots with controllers of one type (either ZCS or hand-made). The ZCS controller has been optimized using a meta-evolutionary algorithm, but this did not yield better results than the not-optimized ZCS controller. Overall, the ZCS controller did not perform as good as the hand-made controller.

jEdit (www.jedit.org), my favorite editor, has extensive support for highlighting dozens of languages. However, the Java highlighting plug-in does not support generics: it does not highlight the words between ‘< ' and '>‘. Therefore, I edited the highlighting Java file so it supports this feature.

Subversion is a widely used VCS (version control system). However, there a more players out there, like Bazaar (bzr). For example, Ubuntu wans to switch to this VCS in the near future.

My laptop runs Ubuntu ‘Intrepid Ibex’ 8.10. Sometimes, my laptop does not switch off after pressing the power button or clicking the ‘shutdown’ option. The laptop makes an attempt to close all proceses, but after the Ubuntu splash screen, a blikking cursor remains instead of a dead laptop.
launchpad.net, I read a post from someone with the same problem and I solved it using his instructions:

Synchronizing a Nokia phone with Windows is easy: download PC Suite and that’s all. However, PC Suite does not run on Linux at all (In my case that’s Ubuntu 8.10: Intrepid Ibex) and thus you do not have a tool to synchronize your contacts or calendar with your computer. Or is there?

Nokia has been present on the GPS market for some time, and a half year ago the company launched their own Nokia Maps 2.0: it runs on Nokia mobile phones and, in contrary to other products, you pay for using the program – all maps are free.
If you start Nokia Maps 2.0, there is no option to import landmarks (favorites) into the program. However, I did succeed in loading the POIs!
