wongaBlog like balloons, but with dancing
I have a friend who thinks the same as me on many, many issues. But the one topic that’s produced a few colourful arguments is summed up by today’s xkcd. I say it’s spot on, she says it’s a total lie. I’m right, obviously. Read More »

Geohashing with a monkey – 2008/05/25
May 27, 2008
My geohashing plan for this week has been scuppered by the weather. I was working in Oxford yesterday, but called in to the geohash en route: Official wiki page. It was a bit wet. The motorway visibility was very low, the wind strong and the whole trip pretty unpleasant. Thankfully the field in question was inaccessible, and this was the closest I could get. The weather today was similarly dreadful, and the rest of the week isn’t much better. As this project would likely involve a lot of driving, I’m going to pass on it for now. Read More »
Geohashing with a monkey – 2008/05/24
May 24, 2008
This is geohashing: Date + Dow opening = random place, within a 1 x 1 grid of about 60 miles. The xkcd wiki calls it a spontaneous adventure generator. I’m in 52, -1, classified as Birmingham East.

The field containing the co-ordinates was private, so Monkey & I pushed our way through the stinging nettles up to the edge of the boundary fence: The official geohash page is here. Monkey and I are going ... Read More »

I don’t recognise the reference on xkcd’s top half, but the second part is lovely. Read More »
How to be sexy
July 12, 2007
I just saw a girl wearing an xkcd t-shirt. Good job it wasn’t Dinosaur Comics – I was staring at her chest for long enough anyway, trying to place the logo. A dropped jaw would only have added to the creepiness. Read More »
Waiting for iTunes…
March 29, 2007
It’s always such fun when my iPod decides to delete and re-copy all purchased music. Not like I’m in a hurry or anything. Ah well. Something that amused me today: Last week’s xkcd (linked to host site if it doesn’t fit): Cory at ETech on Tuesday: Made me laugh, anyway. Read More »
