I've put up a Forum for public dicussion -- it's a slightly hacked version of the open-source phpBB bulletin board package.

100 things to do when I become an Evil Overlord -- funny stuff, courtesy of Unsolved Mysteries.

The photos for June are now online.

I know that Maddox is good, but this particular article really takes the cake.

I have been reading Alfred Jules Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic, a highly interesting piece of aggressive positivism:

What gives one the right to believe in the existence of a certain material thing is simply the fact that one has certain sensations: for, whether one realizes it or not, to say that the thing exists is equivalent to saying that such sensations are obtainable.

"I cannot believe that virtue is proportional to income, nor yet that it is wicked to have difficulty in comforming to the herd. However, doubtless my views on these matters are biased, since I am both poor and a crank." -- Bertrand Russell

I have put up a page with aalib precompiled for Mac OS X. Install it and run the 'bb' demo for an awesome demonstration of the power of ASCII.

Just spent the past few hours creating ManDrake, a nifty little WYSIWYG man page editor for Mac OS X.

Fancy that! All that vital UNIX newbie information about the file system hierarchy is actuall available in a man page. How user-friendly! ;)

I've discovered an Easter Egg in Mac OS X 10.3 (and, I presume, earlier versions).

Back from Oxford, England after a short visit. Alas, no photos since I forgot my camera.
