Thanks to this article, I will be upgrading this box to PHP 5.3.2 from 5.2.6, about nowish. This means things might break. Fun times!

Sneak peek

Posted by Simon Welsh | 30 June 2010 | Comments (0)

I'm currently working on a site that you don't know about. Well, maybe you do. (Hi people that paid for my laptop?) But it's shiny. So you can have a screenshot, which some things removed so you can't see them. LIke the logo, which gives it all away.

Finally licensed

Posted by Simon Welsh | 27 June 2010 | Comments (0)

I've finally stuck my blog under a licence other than the "this is all mine, don't use it" copyright that NZ law sticks it under. I've picked a CC-BY-SA licence, which means you can use my content wherever you want, including for commercial purposes, so long as you attribute it to me and any changes are also released under a CC-BY-SA licence. There's a link to the legal stuffs in the footer if you want to read the actual licence.

You can get a waiver from the licence if I grant one to you specifically. All that legal disclaimer stuff.

A comic from Cyanide & Happiness this time. Possibly explaining why I'm by myself most of the time.

Photos, finally

Posted by Simon Welsh | 19 June 2010 | Comments (0)

So, I went to the IOI last year, and took some photos while I was there. Well, those photos are finally available for public viewing on Flickr. I didn't want to have to name + describe everything twice, so waited until I had something that could upload them, maintaining that information.

I may get around to uploading Robert's photos sometime as well, but they're not mine, so I'll have to ask him if I'm allowed to. As they're currently not in iPhoto, and it was so long ago, they wont have descriptions, even if they do end up somewhere on the internet.

Something weird happened today. Now you can guess what it was. It was rather weird.

Yogurt

I have a new shiny. It's name is Yogurt (warm fuzzy feelings for getting the reference) and it is shiny and fast :D

There's photos on Flickr, starting with this one, that show me unpacking it.

Phone

Posted by Simon Welsh | 8 June 2010 | Comments (0)

For those of you that don't know, I have an iPhone. My current plan is $80/month and is supposed to give me 600 texts, 120 anytime minutes and 250 MiB of data. Currently, it gives me 3 GiB of data and 1000 PXTs as well as the texts and minutes. I'm currently halfway through the second to last cycle on the current contract, which means it's almost time to renew.

I've compiled some stats (because I was bored and stats are fun) to show just how much of that plan is wasted. This nice table is taking from bills at the end of the cycle during the given month.

Tomorrow is towel day. Make sure you know where your towel is.

Random number

Posted by Simon Welsh | 11 May 2010 | Comments (0)

Last Sunday, a certain someone told me to remember a pointless, somewhat random number (it wasn't one of the stereotypical human numbers as well, though it does contain two of them). It's been stuck in my head since then, with me trying to figure out some interesting (for some people's versions of interesting) facts about it. Such as:

  • It's the product of two primes, that are 100 apart.
  • Its last two digits are the square of the first digit.
  • The first digit plus the square root of the second is equal to the third.
  • The square of the second digit minus the first is equal to the last.
  • Summing the digits, then summing the digits in the result, and so on, until there's only one digit gives the square root of the middle digit.
  • Summing the squares of the digits, then the squares of the digits in the result, and so on, eventually leads to 42.
  • The two digit number made from the second and third digits minus the first digit equals 42.
  • The square root of the middle and third digits are one apart.
  • The number amount of days after my baptism is the day that Sarah goes back to Christchurch.

Maybe I've been thinking about it too much.
