The war on terror, UNIX style
The War on Terror as run from the UNIX command line. Extreme geekiness.
Trip to Luxembourg
I’ve just come back from the blues and jazz festival in Luxembourg. A few of us went out for the festival but also to jump out of a plane (with parachutes attached) and now I’ve managed to steal other people’s photos to upload. The people in the photos are generally a mix of myself, Chris …
More London bombs, ho hum
So, we have more disruption resulting from a (luckily) failed attempt to blow up more parts of the tube. It did seem fairly inevitable that there would be a second attempt, as much as it was inevitable that someone or other would eventually manage to pull off the first one (whatever cause they claimed it …
When articificial intelligences collide: Eliza vs Eliza
This conversation set up between two Eliza clients is quite amusing. I didn’t really know about it before, but Eliza appears to be a computer therapist. It doesn’t seem to do a particularly good job of analysing itself. Eliza vs Eliza Eliza the computer therapist

The extra tag meant that the browser closed the previous block element (the ) …

I went to the Nama Bar last night on a special offer (vouchers from The Times) since I’d been in a pub in the area. It’s not quite what I was expecting, definitely more of a bar than a restaurant, and not very Japanese at that. Okay, there were the usual Bento Boxes (which seemed …
A Letter To The Terrorists, From London :: The London News Review
This letter to the terrorists from London pretty much sums up the way most people feel about the tube and bus bombings yesterday.
London transport bomb attacks
Luckily my travelling today didn’t overlap with any of the explosions, as my office is about half a mile outside of Liverpool Street, but it’s certainly causing a lot of disruption. No-one I know seems to be that badly affected either except for having to walk home. It will be interesting to see how the …
