Makes you wonder if the album designer is taking the piss.

Make sure you notice Joyce and Let Him Touch Me.

Organic architecture I think this is called. Many great houses and things. I like the one with the big stone in the middle of the room.

Found this link from this news piece:

"One of the many casualties of the California fires was the unique and lovely studio and residence of artist and architect James Hubbell"

Just got back from the premiere of The Matrix Revolutions which is the last in the trilogy of the Matrix films.

I don't want to spoil it for anybody but I can say that I was impressed. Lots of computer animated laser guns, flying punches and causality questions. The story is as expected pretty shit but who cares. I didn't go to see the film for the love story or the "We're doomed! ...unless a miracle happens".

One thing is for certain: Don't rent this film on VHS. See it at the cinema with great sound and wide screen.

I particularly enjoyed the final fighting scene. My immediate impression is that Jacky Chan, Let Li et. al. have a lot of catching up to do :)

Now you can use Microsoft .NET with Python

I really like the CLR idea that is used in Microsoft .NET

A CLR lets you run programs as a mix of programs written in several different languages. Zope is another such framework. You can use either Python, Perl or PHP for scripting; but that's a much higher level and with a different goal.

The story of Parrot is funny. It started as a April's fool joke, but was later taken seriously and is now a serious open source project.

"Parrot is now the name of a proposed virtual machine that should be able to run Perl as well as Python code." Read more here

This article describes it better.

This is a really funny Flash animation which reminds me of Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove but more fun and in colour.

Be patient though the flash animation is about 3.6Mb to download. I thinks it's worth it.

Apparently the US intend to put together an aid package for Iraq and Afghanistan of $87 Billion but much is that you think? Well, here is the answer.

Read the page slowly step-by-step until you come to the last pictures otherwise you'll spoil the fun.

Same webpage, different design. Very different design in fact.

Click on "Select a design" on the right hand side. There weren't many I really like but Stone washed could be cute. sub:lime is pleasant to look at but the text is too small.

PLEAC - Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook

Nice little webpage that lists the same programming problems solved in many different programming languages. The nice thing about this listing is that suppose you know Python you can then learn other languages by comparing them with the ones you know.

From this I found this nice article about Haskell Worth reading.

"Haskell is a modern, standard, non-strict, purely-functional programming language."

"kung fu means skill from effort. kung foo means skill from badass-programming-powers."

Yet another funny T-Shirt from ThinkGeek

I want one of these t-shirts. Anybody in the London area soon about to make an order to ThinkGeek?
