Table stuff
Via Slashdot, I read about the announcement of ‘Microsoft’s Surface’ (actual website): it’s a table with a (touchscreen)1 LCD and can be used for a variety of purposes. The idea is neat, but not original: Earlier in 2005 or 2006, … Continue reading
That, SerialPort stuff
The log files reveal that a lot of people are looking for help using the Serialport component of the .Net Framework. Once again, lets summarize: There are two ways to access data from a serialport: 1. Using the DataReceived event … Continue reading
That’s impossible
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching all the ‘Matrix’ movies back to back and I discovered that the sentence ‘That’s impossible’ (or ‘It’s impossible’) is mentioned way too many times. Yesterday, Islanders went to the polls and voted … Continue reading

Are you a wookie?
I read that it’s exactly 30 years ago that Star Wars was released in theatres in the US. Links that might help you through the weekend: Wired has plenty of stuff. Metafilter discussion and (of course) Slashdot. I was too … Continue reading
I forget
I forgot that there was an update for WordPress, followed the regular procedure. I forgot more: while copying data over from one directory to the other I noticed that I missed too many files: Uh, I missed the -R. Then … Continue reading

More cards
Since the weather was bad yesterday and (it appears) it’s going to be same-o-same-o today, I decided to check into (this last month’s) Card objects project. All earlier created objects were ‘non-visual’ objects and since we’re playing cards, it probably … Continue reading
A gorilla and tulips
Yesterday, I skimmed the headlines and noticed the one about that escaped gorilla (“Gorilla escapes at Dutch zoo, injures 4”) and read the following quote: “He got over the moat, which in itself is remarkable, because gorillas can’t swim. He … Continue reading
The Tele and then that
I read that CBS’s Evening News is falling behind in rates (originally via Alan). Some media reports blame this on America’s first (female) anchor, Kate Couric. And a recent Gallup poll reinforced the notion that Ms. Couric had become a … Continue reading
Bring the Buzz
I found out that today it’s Eurovision Songfestival day (all related items at xsamplex). Actually, was: the winner is a Serbian ballad singer, who apparently beat a Ukranian drag queen. The final results can be viewed here. The BBC has … Continue reading
Hyper-stations
Links to make it through the week: Via Metafilter (discussion), this excellent set of YouTube videos of presentations hosted at Google with too many luminaries to mention in this post. Most of the videos are a hour long. As asked … Continue reading
Twisted
Before going to bed last night, I read a brief report about a town in the US hit by tornadoes. This morning, this thread at Metafilter reported that the tornado that hit that town (Greensburg) seemed to have just flattened … Continue reading
