In other words, the “default” body plan is female, and a fetus will go down this path unless diverted. It is as if the God of the Bible, in a departure from the usual story, actually made Eve first, then took one of her ribs, added some testosterone and other male hormones, and presto: Adam. via medhelp.org

So consider this: 10,000 of us reading the same Kindle book, each of us highlighting and taking notes. Would the aggregate of this not be illuminating? If I want to publicly share my notes with fellow Kindle or iBooks readers, shouldn’t there be a system in place to do this? via craigmod.com

The dots are permutations of system settings, and the ghosts are possible resolutions. Finish the dots before meeting the ghosts, and you get to eat them again on Level 2. IT Support is the perfect antithesis of PacMan.

My Windows 7 Themepack

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:15:56 +0200

I just discovered that it takes one click in Windows 7 to pack all my wallpapers, sound scheme, and Aero color scheme into a single file, and another click to load it onto another Win7 PC. Given that information, I just had to create a pack of my own. Lo and behold, here’s a themepack with all my favorite wallpapers that I’ve acquired over months of idle time, along with my favorite Aero color scheme (Gray), and my favorite sound ...

A story with a moral

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:13:58 +0200

Image via Wikipedia “I am going to just go back to India. I’m just not responsible enough to do anything worthwhile.” As I stood sweating in the hot summer sun waiting for the 3PM Tom’s Creek A to arrive, I could not seem to find words degrading enough to describe myself. This was my second day in Blacksburg, Virginia. And I had concluded that I was going back to where I came from. You see, when I came here, I ...

Editing Wordpress pages using blogging tools

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:44:31 +0100

I’m a heavy user of TextMate, and use the blogging bundle to create and edit posts. I’m also a heavy user of Wordpress Pages that enable wordpress to be used as a CMS. The one issue that always bugs me with any new Wordpress installation is that you cannot edit pages from XML-RPC blogging tools like TextMate, Ecto, Windows Live Writer and such. The only working solution I’ve found to the same is a little ugly: You’ll need to edit ...

The social loop between my foot and my mouth is now complete

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:02:05 +0100

Since my body and mind are refusing to do any productive work today, I thought I’ll spend some time to post this thought that has been ringing in my head for quite a while.
