Calculate Radial Kepler Equation using Julia
Below is a compact, self‑contained Julia implementation of the radial form of Kepler’s equation for an elliptic orbit.It solves for the true anomaly f (the angle measured from periapsis to the current radius vector) given the orbital…
Convert QCow2 image to AWS AMI
Moving workloads from on‑premises virtualization environments to Amazon Web Services (AWS) often starts with a disk image. QEMU’s native QCOW2 format is compact and widely used, but AWS expects an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that it can launch as an EC2…
How to Isolate QEMU Hosts
A practical, layered approach you can use to keep a group of QEMU guests isolated from each other and from the rest of your infrastructure. The idea is to combine Linux kernel‑level isolation mechanisms (network namespaces, cgroups, and security modules)…
Windows 2000 Hardening Script
Below is a simple batch‑file you can run on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server to apply a few common hardening steps.Because Windows 2000 predates PowerShell, the script sticks to built‑in command‑line utilities that are available out‑of‑the‑box.…
Windows XP Hardening Script
Introduction A Windows Server is often the backbone of an organization’s IT infrastructure—hosting Active Directory, file shares, web applications, databases, and countless internal services. Because it sits at the core of corporate operations, a…
Developing a Claude Code Addin for Visual Studio 2005
Introduction Visual Studio 2005 (VS 2005) may feel dated compared to today’s modern IDEs, but it still serves a niche of legacy projects that require its specific toolchain. One powerful way to extend VS 2005 is through add‑ins written in .NET that hook…
Orbital Mechanics Angles in Julia
I am starting to get more into orbital dynamics. As a result, Julia is a new programming language that is rising in adaptation. I decided to port a Python version of an orbital dynamics library into Julia. Over the next few weeks, I would like to write…
What is Julia?
I posted a few posts tonight that use Julia as a language to accomplish some orbital mechanical tasks. I decided to take a step back and provide a brief overview of what Julia actually is. Their website is https://julialang.org/ and the language has been…

Getting TensorFlow install on Apple M1
I am getting started into Astroomy datasets. One of the first things I wanted to do is get adjusted and acquainted with TensorFlow. Since I have an Apple M1, I wanted to get tensorflow installed and using the integrated libraries so when the datasets are…
