2,5 kg.. of keys.

It would seem nobody wants your keys, but some will go a very way to get an imprint.

A few years back they found 2,5 kg worth of replicas. Not bad.

... The Anarchists' [national] anthem is an international anthem
that consists of 365 raspberries blown in very quick succession
to the tune of "Camptown Races".  Nobody has to stand up for it,
nobody has to listen to it, and, even better, nobody has to play it.
-- Mike Harding, "The Armchair Anarchist's Almanac"

'A very great doctor taught me ... that to cure oneself of a bad habit, one should force oneself to do it, when one would not do it; - make oneself do it - and then the habit would disappear.'

Mr. Hillary

If nothing else, just the fact that a man is rarely "as ambitious as a woman", at least in popular media. ;)

"He's positioning himself for the co-presidency," she said. "He has an overweening ambition, as large as his wife's. . . . When people see him doing something, they think of her. It's almost as if she's cloned herself. He's Mr. Hillary"

Hej Svea!

Sweden is seriously aiming to get rid of oil it seems:

Heja Svea!

Yes - the goal is 2020. Translating the header:

We will be the first (country) in the word to break our dependency with fossil fuels, writes Mona Sahlin. Starting next year, private home owners will recieve economic support to change from oil to reusable energy. The support is part of a national program oil dependency. It includes, among other things, increased backup for research on sustainable energy and effient energy usage, writes Minister for Sustainable Development Mona Sahlin.

Vi ska bli först i världen med att bryta beroendet av fossila bränslen, skriver Mona Sahlin. Från och med nästa år får småhusägare ekonomiskt stöd för att byta från olja till förnybar energi. Stödet är en del av ett nationellt program för att få bort oljeberoendet. Där ingår också bland annat ökat stöd till forskning om förnyelsebar energi och effektivare energianvändning, skriver samhällsbyggnadsminister Mona Sahlin.

The wonders of C or in other words...lesson learned....

a) Define the size of your bloody arrays, and initialize them. This will rid you of many a Segmentation Fault.

b) Habit earned from functional programing (and elsewhere) - Send in strings as arguments. Call by value rather than call by reference. No more disappearing values!

Though in all honesty, during the time it took me to remember these two very basic C wisdoms I really wished I was far far away from this planet.

you DO realize...
hexadecimal notation is just SUCH an efficient way to store large numbers?

...and I spent 30 minutes stressing over the upper limit for signed integers - until I realized I for once could take advantage of the fact that is was a system dependancy....

(hope to resurface some time next week)

Sign language (Oliver Sacks does it again)

...meaning lies not in the individual words but in the relation between them...

Bali, again?
