[I'm an alum who graduated in 2019](https://tom.ket.dev). I was bookie, blouse frosh, and generally did a lot of odd-jobs.
I was on the Bechtel COUCH committee to figure out what life would look like there - so I'm pretty experienced dealing with admin...
I've also talked my way out of a fair amount of trouble with the taco trucks and helped write the book on running tours in my time, especially red and gold protocols.
Very crusty now - time flies - but a massive sucker if you ever want a hand with your Ditch Day stack or *anything* else.
Here are the things I have on [titanic](https://titanic.caltech.edu):
## DiscordBot-LightsOut
A discord bot & cli tool to play and solve [lightsout](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_Out_(game)) games, written for
Ditch Day 2020 as alum help. It was written in a day, so it's pretty hacky but it can manage arbitrary NxN prime-number-colored boards.
The bot runs from my account on titanic whenever I remember to have it running/restart it and can be played on the γδβall-discord bot interaction channel.

## Traveling Tommy's Problem
Here's a page with a solution to the traveling salesman problem for visiting every
[Original Tommy's](https://originaltommys.com/locations) as fast as possible,
with a downloadable [Pluto.jl](https://plutojl.org) notebook of the analysis:
[`https://titanic.caltech.edu/~tgorordo/traveling-tommys.html`](https://titanic.caltech.edu/~tgorordo/traveling-tommys)
for the ultimate negative-time roadtrip challenge. (needs an update -- ping me if you have questions in the meantime.
# TITANIC HAS SUNK
This repo is defunct as a result. Hopefully titanic comes back someday.
