Ongoing Monterey Bay Work

 * List of tourist attractions in Monterey County, California
 * Monterey Bay tourist attractions
 * see also Monterey Bay Area

Got caught up in a backlog with the first block, on historic buildings:


 * Category:History of Monterey County, California
 * Category:History of the Monterey Bay Area
 * Category:National Historic Landmarks in California
 * Category:National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
 * Category:Cemeteries on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:Residential buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:Hotel buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:Event venues on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:Queen Anne architecture in California
 * National Register of Historic Places in California
 * List of Historic Buildings in Carmel-by-the-Sea
 * American Legion Post No. 512

skipping to outdoors:


 * Monterey County tourist attractions links in to regions: Big Sur, Salinas Valley, and Monterey Bay
 * what about Monterey Bay Area - is there mention of regions? Santa Cruz Mountains? Big Sur? those templates/navboxes?

Portal:Monterey Bay Area
 * this page could probably have more content added, but it's time-consuming to find featured content: Portal:Monterey_Bay_Area/Topics

subcategories for historic houses on national register of historic places
Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California:
 * it has an LA subcategory
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Los Angeles

why not a monterey county subcategory?
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
 * intersection of categories:
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California
 * Category:National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
 * example: Samuel M. Black House
 * thanks to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Category_intersection#Tools_currently_available
 * okay, here's the query: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A+%22Houses+on+the+National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+California%22+incategory%3A%22National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+Monterey+County%2C+California%22&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1
 * John Steinbeck House (Salinas, California)
 * Tor House and Hawk Tower
 * Larkin House
 * Samuel M. Black House
 * Jose Eusebio Boronda Adobe
 * Robert Louis Stevenson House

 * Josiah Merritt Adobe
 * Peter J. Bontadelli House
 * James W. Finch House
 * Porter–Vallejo Mansion
 * B. V. Sargent House
 * Lou Ellen Parmelee House
 * Frank LaVerne Buck House
 * Trimmer Hill

done

santa cruz county
now do santa cruz county:


 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Santa Cruz County, California
 * okay, here's the query: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A+%22Houses+on+the+National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+California%22+incategory%3A%22National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+Santa+Cruz+County%2C+California%22&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1
 * Castro Adobe
 * Branciforte Adobe
 * Golden Gate Villa
 * Hinds House
 * Godfrey M. Bockius House
 * Judge Lee House

done

monterey bay area and san francisco bay area to rival los angeles area
maybe not such a good idea:


 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in the Monterey Bay Area
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Santa Cruz County, California


 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in the San Francisco Bay Area
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in San Francisco County, California
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Alameda County, California
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Santa Clara County, California
 * Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in San Mateo County, California

Articles I Have Written or Significantly Contributed To
(Still contributing to all listed)


 * Rutherford Aris (rewrote, October 2010; cleanup, June 2016)
 * Rutherford Aris bibliography (wrote, November 2010)
 * Large eddy simulation (rewrote, significant improvement to references, added some pretty pictures, November 2010)
 * Reynolds operator (wrote, November 2010)
 * Filter (large eddy simulation) (wrote, November 2010)
 * Carl Jacobi (reorganized, June 2022)

Monterey Bay
June 2022:


 * Category:History of the Monterey Bay Area (created)
 * Monterey Bay Area (created)
 * Monterey County tourist attractions (created)
 * List of tourist attractions in Monterey County (rewrote)
 * Monterey Bay Coastal Recreational Trail (created)
 * Zmudowski State Beach (expanded)

Low Hanging Fruit

 * List of timelines (needs a hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics timeline)
 * See this page on thefullwiki.org on the history of fluid mechanics - good starting point for a timeline.
 * See User:Charlesreid1/Timeline of hydrodynamics page for draft of hydrodynamics timeline.

Biographies

 * William Craig Reynolds (can be improved/expanded, see this article on William C Reynolds published in Ann. Rev. Fl. Mech. by Moin and Homsy)
 * Haldor Topsøe (just a little bit of room for improvement/expansion; chemical engineer who founded the company Haldor Topsøe, heterogeneous catalysis company; interview with Topsøe in Ann. Rev. Chem. Bio. Engr. )

Requires A Lot More Work

 * Fluid mechanics (citations)
 * Homogeneous isotropic turbulence (needs to be written)
 * One dimensional turbulence (needs to be written)
 * Reynolds transport theorem (citations, needs expansion)
 * Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (citations, needs expansion)
 * Turbulence (needs expansion)
 * Vortex stretching (needs expansion)

Requires A Little More Work

 * Robert Kraichnan (needs expansion)
 * Osborne Reynolds (needs cleanup and improvement)

19 Guidelines for Creating Software: from The Cathedral and the Bazaar


 * 1) Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.
 * 2) Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse).
 * 3) Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow.
 * 4) If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you.
 * 5) When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor.
 * 6) Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.
 * 7) Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.
 * 8) Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.
 * 9) Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way around.
 * 10) If you treat your beta-testers as if they're your most valuable resource, they will respond by becoming your most valuable resource.
 * 11) The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.
 * 12) Often, the most striking and innovative solutions come from realizing that your concept of the problem was wrong.
 * 13) Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
 * 14) Any tool should be useful in the expected way, but a truly great tool lends itself to uses you never expected.
 * 15) When writing gateway software of any kind, take pains to disturb the data stream as little as possible—and never throw away information unless the recipient forces you to!
 * 16) When your language is nowhere near Turing-complete, syntactic sugar can be your friend.
 * 17) A security system is only as secure as its secret. Beware of pseudo-secrets.
 * 18) To solve an interesting problem, start by finding a problem that is interesting to you.
 * 19) Provided the development coordinator has a communications medium at least as good as the Internet, and knows how to lead without coercion, many heads are inevitably better than one.
