Alright, since helenangel went to all the bother of nudging me I guess I'll update... but I won't like it! *G*

( Actual update cleverly hidden behind the cut )

It's Okay, people. I'm not dead! There was no tragic s'mores-making accident (although, for the record, that is how I'd like to go). I also can't claim to have been particularly busy... I've just been neglecting my LJ duties. Sorry about that!

...did I miss anything?

Weasel balls are NOTHING compared to this...( The Mongoose Is Loose! )

My dearest TiVo died a few days ago... it had been with me for many years, and it was just its time. Still, I'm taking a moment to mourn my old friend - you served me well, series 1 TiVo. May you rest in peace.

Okay. Moment's over. Technology must progress. Anyone out there running a MythTV setup?

Screech has a sex tape? SCREECH?!?

And it includes two women and a Dirty Sanchez?!? OMFG!

This is SO wrong! (Just an article - should be mostly work safe)

Just finished reading Schrödinger's Rabbits. Not a bad book. Some of the analogies were a little weak, but overall very good. Worth reading for chapter 13 alone. So check that one off my reading list...

...however, two books I ordered about game theory arrived today. So my reading list has actually increased!! It's like a greek tragedy.

So as I've gotten older my nostrils have gotten a bit on the hairy side. Yeah - sad... but true. Now every so often I get a sore 'bump' in my nose, which feels a bit like a pimple - but I've always assumed they were ingrown hairs. Last week I got one and tried to fix it by plucking the nose hairs in the vicinity, hoping to get the offender (and, ( Read more... )

So I've decided to finally throw in the hat and give up on all this independent consultant nonsense. The money just isn't predictable (or significant)... To be fair, it probably would be, but my super-amazing-god-like-powers-of-geekitude only extend to that which is tech based - so the sales, marketing, and social networking aspects are sort of ( Read more... )

So a tiny handful of those on my friends list may remember me rambling on about my long held theory that, statistically, everyone is immortal (from their own perspective) given either one or more infinite dimensions (time or space) or an infinite multiverse.... well, I've been reading Schrödinger's Rabbits and there is a whole chapter dedicated to ( Read more... )

Why do I love reading about quantum mechanics so much? Because amongst the tedium and convoluted analogies you find quotes like this:

The worlds we could expect to see include not just unlikely versions of our own universe but surreal possibilities like half the square root of minus one times a dead cat plus a live cat.
