god made the integers
all else is the work of man. More about the relationship between God and Math at TheStar. Did you know that Pythagoras was a cult leader?
the movies were right about the future
Why? Here’s 4 things that prove this:
- Contact lenses will have circuits which can be used for augmented reality and other funky sci-fi stuff
- National Intelligence is ready to sacrifice anything to make us feel more secure but not really be more secure. See Bruce’s article.
- Hackers are taking over your power station!
- People are running around the house with gay looking guns

Pyglet
For anyone into python or considering python - Pyglet looks like a great idea if you’re thinking of game development or visualization of some sort.
Features (aka things I like about it):
- No external dependencies or installation requirements. For most application and game requirements, pyglet needs nothing else besides Python, simplifying distribution and installation.
- Take advantage of multiple windows and multi-monitor desktops. pyglet allows you to use as many windows as you need, and is fully aware of multi-monitor setups for use with fullscreen games.
- Load images, sound, music and video in almost any format. pyglet can optionally use AVbin to play back audio formats such as MP3, OGG/Vorbis and WMA, and video formats such as DivX, MPEG-2, H.264, WMV and Xvid.

Server Names
We just got a new server and we’ve run out of muppet names to name it, so this afternoon we had a very entertaining discussion on what class of objects we’re going to name the servers next. The ideas:-
- animals
- mytological creatures
- countries / cities
- music composers (most of them are too long)
- greek gods (too common)
- names of flowers (not very masculine)
- names of beautiful women (too masculine + how would it sound if you say “what’s in Pamela?”)
- characters from whinny the poo (in the hope that someday we’ll have to name a server poo)
- numbers (1, 2, 3) (the reply to this suggestion was “do you call your children, child 1, child 2 …?”, to which the other countered, “since when have the servers become your children?”)
At the end we decided to go for countries and cities … and the server was baptised Bangkok.
What do you name your servers after?

google fu to search boomshuffle
Boomshuffle is great. If you’re not familiar with it - it’s a web 2.0 service which allows you to set up your own music lists and make them available for others to listen to. That’s great if you have all the time in the world to set up your own list, but what if I want to search other people’s lists? Boomshuffle does not seem to have a site search - enter google. With a bit of google fu, you can easily find mixes which include your favourite bands.And .. I guess you can use the below form:

Apple always had a particular and unique way of presenting their products. Peter Merholz posted an interesting review and some thoughts on the 1st original user manual.
