The Speed of Brain
Sunday, March 26th, 2006I've just taken an online test to measure the speed of my brain. Now, I know online tests are rarely accurate, but this did seem to me to be quite scientific and authentic. And even if it isn't, the scores from people taking the same test can be used comparatively. I ...
Destroying The Earth
Friday, March 24th, 2006Whilst stumbling around the web as usual, I came across an interesting site with lots of information about Geocide - or the destruction of the Earth. You can view the website here. Thankfully, no one has succeeded in committing Geocide yet, so the International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board's CEDS is green. The current ...
Living On The Net
Monday, March 20th, 2006Just now, thanks to the reliability of NTL, my internet went on the blink. It was only down for an hour or so, but in that time I realised how much I need the internet. I couldn't do some of my homework... I couldn't research some stuff for an expedition ...
Happy Pi Day!
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006Yes ladies and gents, today is Pi Day! And since it's the 300th Birthday of Pi this year, I think a Pi-Day present is in order - so enjoy! Mathematical Pi. To celebrate Pi Day, we had a Pi Party in Further Maths today too. Someone baked some Pi Pies and ...
Who needs 4 leaf clovers?
Monday, March 13th, 2006Ever had one of those days where everything just goes right? They don't come round too often, but I had one today - and boy was it a good'n! This morning I got my Further Maths modules back, having got a 100/100 in Decision 1 and 92/100 in Statistics 1. Not ...
I’ve Seen The Light!
Sunday, March 12th, 2006If you were to ask me whether I'm religious or not, you'd get the answer no (or possibly something to do with being a Jedi). Or at least, you would have done until about 10pm yesterday evening. Why? Because last night I saw the light! I realised the errors of ...
Xgl
Saturday, March 11th, 2006I'm writing this blog entry from a Live CD Distro of Kororaa. Why? Well, I wanted to see what the Xgl buzz is all about for myself, and this was the easiest way. What is Xgl? Well, according to FreeDesktop.org, "Xgl is an X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL.". ...
That Damn Smiley
Friday, March 10th, 2006I just thought I'd take a moment to share with people the most commonly submitted smiley on The Smile Project. I regularly have to reject it on the grounds that it's been in there for over a year now! So, what is this amazing smiley that is so good that everyone ...
Travelling at (almost) the Speed of Light
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006Whilst impossible in real life, nothing is beyond the realms of someone with too much time on their hands and a powerful computer. Someone's made an animation of what it would look like to travel at 99% of the speed of light through a town centre. They've also gone through ...
