Over the years I’ve heard of people, and known some people with really stupid names. Superman works in a hotel in Sri Lanka, and is a really nice guy. In Brazil there are triplets named Xerox, Authenticada and Photocopia; also there’s a girl named airline and my personal favorite was a kid who’s name translated [...]

If I was a yes man
If i was a yes man today I would have done the following: Screwed myself over by taking on too much responsibility tonight. I would have planned to have gone out for beers with someone I shouldn’t go for beers with, and then not turned up I would have purchased a new domain. I would [...]

Skype Vunerablility
Its hard to believe that the vunerability in this video exists – because it seems to imply one of the fundamental rules for secure coding is being broken here – ie – always check your inputs. Its quite a cool video to see though and worth noting.

The real lord of the rings
It’s silly but often in life and in movies the real hero of any given story isn’t actually the character everyone focuses on. Take lord of the rings – it’s all about Frodo, and the burden of being the ring bearer – and on the film they make everyone empathize with Frodo because it’s so [...]

Improving upon the grape in a microwave
Ok in the name of science we are looking at how we can improve on the grape in a microwave plasma generating experience. Glen and myself have agreed we will pay 50% of the costs each and try a number of different things. Firstly if you can generate plasma with a grape- what other fruits have the [...]

Grape in a microwave
Don’t try this at home! Don’t blame me if you kill yourself. Your other half will get really annoyed if you blow up her microwave. The experiment is this – take a seedless grape, cut almost in half and open it up leaving a tiny bit of skin connecting both halves.. Put it face up [...]
