1 + 23 − 456 ÷ 7890 × 19568 ÷ 3476 ÷ 8270 × 69550 ÷ 8512 × 307 − 56 = 0 Okay, while I feel like giving away free drinks: I’ll give a free drink to whoever figures out where this string of numbers and operators are from and a free drink to whoever figures out a way of grouping them so that the equation works.

It is spring and my head is once again bald. For this summer I am going to pick up the once regular ritual of weekly to bi-weekly head shaving. While some people struggle to keep their hair on, I’m gonna be cutting it off. Not since the end of ‘99 have I kept up the ritual. I am looking forward to once again moving beyond the dirty grey - I haven’t shaved my head before and I’m only doing it this once because it was a dare look to the nicely tanned - I’ve been doing this for a while because it makes me look scary look....

So I decided to shuffle my shelves a bit. My DVDs are now organised in a nice central location rather than scattered across my room. Ditto for a some of my books. For some reason I had about 30 MiniDV and Hi8 tapes lying around my room. Its a pity so little of it is useful. Now one day I might find a useful storage device to store my ever increasing CD collection in....

Okay just because I know some people actually care about this, while reading my daily round of periodicals I stumbled across this link. Just so you arrrr informed the intarrnational talk like a piarrate day is tomorrow. I for one am not about to don a funny hat, wear an eye patch and start talking funny. Whatever floats your boat (or pirate ship) I guess.

The nuke calculator as promised. I’m not sure what range the values are reasonably accurate within, but when I do figure it out. I’ll post em. [nuke calculator loading...] Just in case you were wondering here are the different effects of the different pressures (from this site mention previously): 1 psi - Window glass shattersLight injuries from fragments occur. 3 psi - Residential structures collapse.

Today I forked out for some hosting. The images are back.

On saturday night somehow we got from talking about noir films to talking about nukes. The conversation had reminded me of something I had read/heard a little while ago about how, some years ago, after the cold war had ended between Russia and the USA. Basically the Russians were minutes away from launching a nuclear strike against America because they thought a missile, launched by the USA from a neighbouring army base was heading for them....

Through some weird twists and turns I stumpled upon this site last night. In particular one file on the site caught my attention. Being an avid Arnold Schwarzenegger fan I found the articles relevancy, despite its age of more than 13 years, rather suprising. Arnold is certainly well on his way to fulfilling the vision of this article and I look forward to seeing if America will make allowances for him to further his political career beyond the limit he has already obtained....

After close to five years, I no longer have my CSE account. No more cbro903 email address and no more 200Mb disk quota. And no more cheap1 web hosting, which means my logo is now defunct. I no longer have a convenient space on the internet where I can just upload stuff to - not that I have anything to put up except a few ramblings here and there. So now the hunt is on....

Okay, I think I have enough email addresses now. While some people in the world are yet to obtain their first, I just created my 10th active email account. While this number is about to drop when my uni accounts expire, I own a domain name so I have the capacity to create an infinite number of email accounts. Two of the accounts are work related, two of the accounts are uni related....
