Debian Etch and Debian Release Schedules. 0

For some reason I decided to plot the Debian release schedules. I was thinking that it would form an exponential growth curve – I was wrong (somewhat). From 1.2 to 3.1 it’s a somewhat exponential curve if you do smoothing. Below is the release schedule with the number of months from the pervious release. The [...]

Hair gel? – NO … Bombs? SURE! 1

This is a disgrace: Sources told 9NEWS the Red Team was able to sneak about 90 percent of simulated weapons past checkpoint screeners in Denver. In the baggage area, screeners caught one explosive device that was packed in a suitcase. However later, screeners in the baggage area missed a book bomb, according to sources. So [...]

The Onion on the Human Cost of Imigration 0

Did you know about tv.theonion.com? I didn’t. This might be just as cool as Fark TV. TV is doomed! >

Time for Offices 0

As much as we really enjoy going beduin, it’s about time to get offices. We’re going to be hiring and Jonathan and I just need a steady place to hack. Did I also mention that I’m addicted to my 23″ LCD? (which isn’t compatible with Coffee to the People apparently) If anyone knows of any [...]

Spinn3r’s Launch … 0

… went amazingly well. I was really happy with the way things worked out. We’ll probably have a few more announcements in the coming weeks but I just wanted to note that we already have two Ph.D. candidates performing research on the blogosphere using Spinn3r! Now that’s awesome! What’s interesting is that this is how [...]

Because of this I won’t be able to sleep tonight: What the team has done is add evolution to hardware (Norwegian), all hardware that you and I have used so far is made the creationism way, it’s made and can not be changed at runtime through evolution. All changes to existing hardware have to be [...]

We have two major announcements today. The first is Spinn3r (which is clearly the coolest): It’s been a lot of work but today we’re proud to announce the release of Spinn3r. Spinn3r is an web service that companies can use to index the blogosphere instead of having to write their own spider. Instead of spending [...]

The Shipping Container is the Computer 0

This Blackbox project is a bit crazy. But maybe crazy good. I haven’t yet figured this out. Apparently they have competition. Rackable makes nice systems if you happen to find DC. If you could stack them like legos it might be interesting. I need buy one of these things and mount it to an 18 [...]
