Around.

Posted on June 3, 2007 by Arthur

Earlier this week, the most story was the one about that lawyer with that extreme form of TB. I think it’s sufficient to just link to Google: most likely you’ve already read about how the CDC (initially) and US border … Continue reading →

That’s impossible

Posted on May 29, 2007 by Arthur

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching all the ‘Matrix’ movies back to back and I discovered that the sentence ‘That’s impossible’ (or ‘It’s impossible’) is mentioned way too many times. Yesterday, Islanders went to the polls and voted … Continue reading →

Are you a wookie?

Posted on May 26, 2007 by Arthur

I read that it’s exactly 30 years ago that Star Wars was released in theatres in the US. Links that might help you through the weekend: Wired has plenty of stuff. Metafilter discussion and (of course) Slashdot. I was too … Continue reading →

Hyper-stations

Posted on May 8, 2007 by Arthur

Links to make it through the week: Via Metafilter (discussion), this excellent set of YouTube videos of presentations hosted at Google with too many luminaries to mention in this post. Most of the videos are a hour long. As asked … Continue reading →

Hyper-news

Posted on May 2, 2007 by Arthur

A couple of things that need to be mentioned: Before I signed off last night, I was surprised about the flood of Digg postings that had to do with that HD-DVD. There’s no way to link to a specific day … Continue reading →

What software?

Posted on April 29, 2007 by Arthur

Two weird incidents: Earlier, I decided to look for a new version of The Gimp for Windows and ended up at WinGimp.org which provides downloadable Gimp versions, however, for a price. Right: I’m not sure if they’re related to the … Continue reading →

Dead wood

Posted on April 28, 2007 by Arthur

Links then: 1. Earlier I mentioned “America at a Crossroads”, the excellent series broadcasted by the PBS. It appears that you might be able to find them as torrents online. 2. Via 3 Quarks Daily, too many ways of lacing … Continue reading →

Videos

Posted on April 25, 2007 by Arthur

Via CBC (article), I found out that Microsoft’s MSN Video relaunched (uh: beta it is). It’s heavily relying on the same company’s Soapbox software (here). And I guess you may just as well go to the official announcement, which is … Continue reading →

Debian 4.0 & the other updates

Posted on April 11, 2007 by Arthur

So, after 21 months of development, it seems that Debian “Etch” 4.0 has been released. Which means that I have to get my jigdo-tools out of the safe and start downloading the CDs again (earlier on xsamplex). (There are also … Continue reading →

Snow@easter.night.com

Posted on April 7, 2007 by Arthur

If there was something like ‘Easter Night’, then it looks like Christmas outside. Snow that is and while this was obviously part of today’s forecast, it took me, dog and the snow plow drivers by surprise. It should be gone … Continue reading →

Daylight Savings

Posted on April 6, 2007 by Arthur

A couple of days I was reading about the energy saving component of the US Energy Policy Act 2005 (Wikipedia), the extension of DST by 4 weeks (earlier on xsamplex). Apparently, power companies in the US didn’t notice a big … Continue reading →

Pyramids

Posted on April 2, 2007 by Arthur

Via (the always excellent) 3 Quarks, a new theory how the Great Pyramid was built. The original site that hosts a video and 3D animation (from Dassault Systems) requires an extra plugin (3D Life player), which also works on Firefox … Continue reading →

Lists and a public announcement

Posted on March 20, 2007 by Arthur

This is weird: Whenever I do a ‘reply to all’ to a mailing list message in GMail, I expect it to show only the mailinglist’s/major-domo e-mail address in the To: Field (and that it ignores any individual e-mail addresses). This … Continue reading →
