Month: May 2000

version 0.1 of the OPN #/. map is up. I got smart this time and generated it with xplanet and made a markers file with everyone’s ICBM coordinates 🙂 A few people are a bit off, but they’ll be fixed soon.

Oh, I forgot to mention that on Monday my university approved the new Bachelor of Computing degree! w00t!

What keeps me going.

Song: Chemlab.org internet radio
mmm… internet radio good. Chemlab is good because they have an excellent selection of electronica that is perfect to administer systems by, and it’s also all-request so you can go to their website and add a song to the playlist.

I decided how I’m going to render out the OPN #/. map: xplanet and a marker file that has people’s location and nick. On top of that will be some kind of imagemap to link to their profile. I’m just going to have to figure out the ICBM address of everyone now 🙂 Time to get cracking…

Christ. I was almost late for work today, as my alarm clock was suddenly 20 minutes slow. But when I looked at it again at 7:30, it was back on time. Bizzare.

Well, this cements it. Time for me to start saving for a Dreamcast.

Raging Search looks cool, but I think I’ll stick to <“a href=”http://www.google.com”>Google for now.

Well, let’s get lootin’.

More substantial news later today (maybe even updated slashmaps)

I added to the Archive page some really, really old sites that I did a long time ago. I only added them because the directories were still hanging around.

I released my script Poor Man’s Blogger today. Check it on the Code page.

Okay… I decided to scrap the Writings section because anything I write and want people to read will probably go right here. So it magically transformed into the Archives section containing all of the older posts. Stuff will get moved out of here and into there whenever I feel like moving it.

I will be totally redoing the #slashdot world-map tonight – I got some kickass maps from the National Geographic web site last night. Yes, I will be including people who are not in North America, as well as all the people who e-mailed me today.

If you’re wondering what all of this #slashdot stuff is, it’s an IRC channel on OPN where I hang out regularly. Check moath’s page for people’s bios.

This guy has a huge collection of Newton related links, including a link to Newton Resources. What a cool guy 🙂

I started using MeerKat to try and orgainze and focus my news intake. mmm… news. Of course, I still read BBC World regularly, and try to watch it every night.

I had a really, really weird dream last night. It made enough of an impression that I think I can remember most of the details right now. Look here.

I put this comic up in my office today. Heh.

And yes, Calum, I will fix the photos.

If you’re here looking for the #slashdot map, take a peek here. If you’re not on it and want to be, mail me with your City, Province/State, and Country, and your nickname.

I finally wrote some code so that I can update this page easier. No more editing tables for me – now everything is parsed by a script that reads normal text files. Yay!

Oh. This means that all of the entries below this one might have spaces in the wrong place. Oops. I’ll make an archive soon and start moving old stuff to another page.
