Off topic II : My new English blog: Arrays in Flux

The other day, I started my second blog in English: Arrays in Flux.

The first post Arrays in Flux: My third blog, and second English explains more and give a background of the name. Here I will write, in English, about stuff not related to constraint programming (and related paradigms).

I just posted the first real post: Symbolic regression (using genetic programming) with JGAP and contains what I have done the last weeks . It is an extension of what I wrote in Off topic: Eureqa - equation discovery with genetic programming.

From now on, I will not clutter this blog any more with these kind of off topic posts.
