I've been at this journalling business for just about a year now, my first post coming on October 8, 2005. I was going to do this on the "proper" one-year anniversary, but that's going to fall on a Sunday, and I plan on being thoroughly asleep all day that day.

A few years ago, I routinely described myself with a certain ha-ha-only-serious quip that rarely failed to draw a wry chuckle. I would inform people with a perfectly straight face that "I'm not antisocial... I simply hate everyone."

I have a headache, a bunch of old classic Simpsons episodes to watch, and a nice glass of Jameson. I am hoping that the latter two will unite and launch an epic struggle to overthrow the dark tyrrany of the former.

Call me psychotically morbid, but there's one sort of literature that's pretty much guaranteed to pique my fascination: the last thoughts of people in desperate situations, as they resign themselves to their fate and record their final moments on paper in the hope that someone will discover them an…

I had a weird experience this afternoon.
First of all, some context - my sleep schedule has gotten totally out of whack lately and I don't know why. So I was asleep this afternoon, pretty much from 1 PM to around 10:30 PM.
At one point, I woke up - not just the sort of idle "mmmmfh, Imwake, goway" so…

Tip of the Day: Surviving With No Electric Mixer
If you're like me, you're lazy, tight-fisted, and tend to lack some "common" kitchen equipment. Today's item of choice is the electric mixer. Most people would survive sans-mixer by keeping a whisk…

The other day our very own Corman dropped me a link to a great deal from NEC on an eval kit for one of their 32-bit microcontrollers. It comes with a USB-based flash programmer, some emulation and debugging software, and of course the MCU itself - for a grand total of around $60. Quite a good barga…

The AMD/ATi merger is starting to produce some interesting stuff... most notably, AMD's new open coprocessor socket. This is a fantastic first step towards the kind of architecture I've been envisioning for the future; in fact, it's basically already there, just on a small scale. Picture this same …
