This morning when I walked up to my PC it was running xscreensaver as usual. It was showing “phosphor” so I stopped to read the text.. which was several paragraphs about choosing the right kind of printer. Note to whoever: nobody cares if you buy an inkjet or laser.

Dear New York, nice city, but must you rain all the time? love, Jody
Utilities, by John K. Samson
I’m not sure where I first heard this, but the first time I remember hearing it was when John K. Samson played it during a solo act at The Black Sheep Inn. He played it again tonight with the rest of the band, and I figured I should transcribe the lyrics. The only place I…
Best ex-landlord letter ever…
Bunny Suicides. I think the best part about these is how many there are.
This has been around for over 4 years but I haven’t seen it before (and I used to read slashdot back then.) 3D renderings of function/variable dependencies in the Linux kernel. The neat stuff are the mpegs of the evolution of the kernel over time – you can actually see bloat happening. Too bad he…

Thursday was Sangria, last night was beer, tonight I suppose I need to drink Cacaça or something. Last night after a late supper, I ended up finding an Irish pub of all places and drank Guinness to wash out the evil taste of the Spanish beer I had earlier. This place is certainly no Germany….
That last entry was intended for , which I’m keeping separate from my main blog. I’m currently touring Europe by bike/train. Yay.
Signs you’re in Europe #764: Soft drink: 1.70. Heineken: 2.00. Might as well have the Heineken. Today, I got up in time to check out (still not enough sleep), took the 10:59 sneltrain to Den Haag, and retrieved my bike. Unfortunately I lost my claim tag in the meantime so they made me pay 1.00…

I helped my sister move a bunch of her stuff a while back, including books from her undergraduate degree in political science. Many of these books have semi-interesting titles: The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World The Search for Modern China The Lexus and The Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization I tried to read a…
A slight understatement
While Bill Gates was busy impressing the ladies, a new computer was briefly discussed on Usenet: Any opinions on the new Commodore 64 computer. I’ve seen it and it looks pretty neat. (i) it comes with 64K of memory standard (ii) in highest graphics…
Burns night was last Tuesday. Have had your Haggis yet? I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t extend hunting season this year to allow those celebrating on a Friday or Saturday the chance to bag a fresh one. Oh well, I’ve got one in the freezer.

Slowing a tandem bicycle on a long descent can often be a problem. Not for these folks:

From The Weakerthans news page: “This is a closed campus show, students only.( Â but be creative! ) Hope to see you there.” This isn’t really surprising coming from a band that took the time to thank all the people watching from outside the fence at bluesfest this summer. Anyway, if you’re in Ottawa, they’re…
Mixerman, the misanthopic control-freak recording engineer, is back with part 2. I might do what he suggests and read the book first. Or maybe not, if I get bored at work.
A good summary of the recent crypto hash madness
