Well its been a while since I last posted so I guess its time to place something new on top of an ever increasing pile of stale. I have been suitably distracted with completing the tiny bit of work I had left to be marked (aka my thesis), with work and all the hijinks that go on their, and with the stuff I’ve been doing for the 40 Days of Purpose thingo we are doing at church....
For the last few days I have greatly enjoyed the time I have spent in my car. The stereo, engine, nor the in car navigation system (whihc I may or may not own) are the reasons for this, but the quality air conditioning unit. You see, with the exception of my 10 minutes in a mall buying lunch, my car is the largest does of cool air I have received in over those few days....
I don’t normally talk about work on my blog. Actually rarely will I talk about anything on a public blog that involves someone I know (mostly because I don’t want to be offensive), but anyway…. I’ve learnt of the last few weeks why its not a great idea to go into business with your friends. Sure there are probably thousands of business from tiny to big that are successfully founded on the partnership of friends, but I reckon there are heaps of relationships that have been strained and broken by the pressures of working with your friends and let me tell you its not pretty to be around....
this would have to be the most useful site on the internet.
I am so bored right now. Judging by the content of my previous messages today you’ve probably already realised that. So far today I’ve been to church, I’ve shaved my head, I’ve watched The Big Sleep (its very good, watch it), I’ve watched the Roosters beat the Cowboys (I was kinda hoping the Cowboys would win being the underdogs and all), I’ve watched Black Hawk Down, I’ve checked slashdot, smh and a dozen of my other regular sites more than twice including various blogs I seldom read....
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. Serious injuries are common, fatalities may occur. 5 psi - Most buildings collapse.Injuries are universal, fatalities are widespread. 10 psi - Reinforced concrete buildings are severely damaged or demolished.Most people are killed. 20 psi - Heavily built concrete buildings are severely damaged or demolished.Fatalities approach 100%. ...
