Sunday, August 16th, 2009
  • Incredibly long weekend. Not tired, just completely run out of thoughts. #

  • That was hard. My C-code can now directly write MATLAB-compatible MAT files. #
  • PrintCarrier.com want me to send feedback. Ironically their feedback form is incomprehensible :). #
  • Women on Twitter must find it so difficult to prove they aren’t spam bots when they follow someone random… #

  • http://is.gd/2gBdx <- Formal computing chicanery. Quite amusing to read if you know what Perl is and Turing Machines are. #
