GIGO: words unreadable aloudMishrogo WeedapevalLeap Day Posting- February 29, 2008 Woo Hoo! In the six years I've had this weblog, I've never done a February 29th posting before. An indication of my mental state, though, is that I dutifully checked in the GIGO Table of Contents, examining the end of February for each of the five earlier years, before realizing that there was only one to check. In other incomplete stories, the Pinnacles trip was great, and led to making some connections with some of the other music-makers at the big G. And Ben and I hiked Uvas County Park,.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100945/2008/02/29.html#a777 The Segway Programming Language- February 2, 2008 On LtU, Koray Can writes about Paul Graham's recent preliminary release of Arc: It seems to me that the only people who are talking about it are those who have followed Paul Graham's writings over the years and wanted to see what it, the thing, the real deal would look like. I call it "Segway", due to the difference between the hype and the (current, pre-alpha) reality. Note that the hype mostly did not come from PG. My earlier guess was overoptimistic by three years or so.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100945/2008/02/02.html#a776 Winter camping at the Pinnacles- February 1, 2008 So, there's the tradition of an annual winter trip. In the past, I hear, it's mostly been a ski trip. Something different this year — Disneyland, or camping at the Pinnacles. No contest for me, despite the possibility of weather. Seems that somewhere under ten percent of the trippers chose to go camping with me, the other several thousand are going to Disneyland. I plan to take some pictures. Current forecast is for a spate of dry weather for a change! Keeping my fingers crossed.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100945/2008/01/31.html#a775 |
