Horrible SF websites - A Slave to Variance

Horrible SF websites - A Slave to Variance. PokerStove: A Poker Calculator. Nov 1st, 2014 10:15 am. You'd think that SF, being the center of technology, could produce competent websites. Not always. Small sites like http:/ themarsh.org. Can be excused for having slideshow buttons that obscure the caption text. But when http:/ sfgate.com. Starts breaking their site, that's really just shoddy. In Opera, their UI for searching events is 100% borked. Maybe publishing and Q/A don't mix?

Dying - A Slave to Variance. PokerStove: A Poker Calculator. Nov 12th, 2014 10:03 pm. I just found out my best friend from graduate school died. I found out by typing his name into google, and having google auto-complete the query with the word "obituary". 2014-11-13 06:57 am (UTC). 2014-11-13 03:46 pm (UTC). Vic died of leukemia last June. 2014-11-13 05:29 pm (UTC). I couldn't find his obit - found another Vic who died in 1995, but that's it. Last June.right around when Laura died.

Spot The Movie - The Undersea World of OtterChaos. And sometimes youre the fish. 15:57 17th November 2010. Utterly stealing John Scalzi's work (derived from someone else's idea, but a good one nonetheless) I've taken a selection of reasonably accurate but misleading SF (and related) movie synopses and removed the titles. You get to figure out what the movies are. Or not. Answers, with more of the same kind of thing, at Scalzi's filmcritic blog. Oceans's) 11. A lonely programmer discovers he's spendin...

Ere I am, J.H. Dammit (Frankenstorm) - I am the fountain of affection. Mon, Oct. 29th, 2012 09:18 pm. We have a drip. In the third-floor ceiling. Well, now we have a hole. Its been enlarged since this pic. EDIT: So yeah, a little repetitive sound while we were watching TV turned out to be a slow drip onto my laptop keyboard (which appears to have sustained no damage). One drop at a time was seeping through a hairline crack in the plaster. We moved cruft and furniture,. D: Well, that's no good. Interestin...

The Race - mickdog. October 9th, 2011.

The Ugly Anglocentrism of Wikipedia. - Michael E. Sullivan. Mar 7th, 2007. The Ugly Anglocentrism of Wikipedia. S post about Conservapedia. I was extremely amused when today I followed this link to wikipedia about the Corn Laws. In which I read the following wonderful paragraph:. Note that in proper English, the term "corn" means "grain" (the kernel), and implies the primary grain crop of a country, which in England was wheat, whereas maize is the predominant North American meaning of "corn". All they sa...

Lunar eclipse - Chris Hartman
http://chrishartman.livejournal.com/7982.html
Lunar eclipse - Chris Hartman. Aug 28th, 2007. Yes, it's a rare LJ post by me. I managed to stay up late enough to see the very beginning of the lunar eclipse last night, then dozed for a half hour or so. When I woke up the northern lights were swirling everywhere, pink and green, and the moon was about half eclipsed. Perfect veiwing conditions here in Fairbanks, the moon was nearly due south and not too high in ths sky. Amazing. August 28th, 2007 05:41 pm (UTC). August 28th, 2007 10:09 pm (UTC).

Sticking it to PECO, part 2 - Hoss TBF. 16 October 2008 @ 05:29 pm. Sticking it to PECO, part 2. Everything is going according to plan! I realize I could send something else- or nothing at all- back in the envelope, but those options miss out on the poetry and elegance of my solution. I'm at a loss, so I'll leave it to you. Here, your vote really can make a difference:. Detailed results viewable to: All. Do nothing, hope to collect more PECO checks. Sign the PECO check over to McCain. Ps sry for offtopic.
