Long awaited return post!
I have been away for a wee while down in the London trying to get some work experience and generally not doing any work at all. I returned a few weeks ago, but have been busy wasting time so haven’t gotten round to posting here.

In the past week or two I’ve had more and more frequent opportunities to observe this phenomenon.Read More »Insomnia

Google Talk
No, not the IM / VOIP client, but a cool little tool that gets Google to complete a sentence made by Douwe Osinga. If you’ve ever played around with Markov chain text generators – and let’s face it, who hasn’t? – this will give you a bit of entertainment.Read More »Google Talk
