The Vent Core

I found this number today, I think someone misplaced it.

Here it is converted it into binary:

00001001 11111001 00010001 00000010 10011101 01110100 11100011 01011011 11011000 01000001 01010110 11000101 01100011 01010110 10001000 11000000


Here’s the digests, if you recognize it better as a checksum:

Is anyone looking for a lost number?

Not much in the way of Blogging tonight, “I’ve just had an unhappy love affair and I don’t see why anyone else should have a good time” – Prostecnic Vogon Jeltz. Well not really. Tonight was guild drama night in WoW, so I got a bit worked up, but I think we worked a few things out.

Now I just need to figure out where all the free space on newton keeps disappearing to. It’s one of the web browsers, I’m just not sure which.

Don’t Panic! It’s only the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, one of the best works of science fiction in existence. Created by the late comedic mastermind Douglas Adams, it is the definitive multi-medium self-contradicting SciFi trilogy in five parts. It began life as a radio series, which then became five books, six television episodes, two video games, another radio series and eventually a movie, all written by the same man. Although some mediums convey the Hitchhiker’s universe better than others, Adams succeeds everywhere. I’ve seen/played/heard just about everything Adams has been involved in, with the exception of a few of his early television shows, of which he’s written a few Dr Who episodes, and his non-SciFi books, including “The Meaning of Liff”(sic) and “Last Chance to See”. I hope to consume these once I find them. In the mean time I listen to the radio series and read the book from time to time for a good laugh.

The Apple Newton is truly a revolutionary device. Just look at what you can do with it!

This very post was written and posted entirely using a newton. Not bad for ten year old hardware. People have even written software to deal with the Newton’s 2010 problem, while other software lets you edit the time zones to compensate for this years DST change. I don’t see the Newton dying until it can no longer understand the current year. This happens somewhere around 2037, so that gives a few years to write a patch.

The Newton never dies, it just gets new batteries.

I was reading the Surfin’ Safari Weblog and read that safari supports embedded pdfs!

Very interesting! It’s not a perfect implementation, as you have to force a size of the image, but otherwise it just works.

IS THIS THE MAC TABLE!!1

It is reel, I have presonal confirmate form S. Jobs himshelf.

Something is very wrong with this product.
