  1. SigGRAPH 2012 technical papers preview trailer. Some pretty nifty stuff here (high geekness alert). youtube.com/watch?v=cKrng7…
  2. @Bopuc Don't worry, *they* are just upgrading you. simulation-argument.com/simulation.html
  3. Water is incredibly fascinating stuff: lsbu.ac.uk/water/explan2.…
  4. @jhartikainen Interesting. An attack on FB infra or just a summer intern screwing up Bind config? :-)
  5. Oh well, switching DNS to OpenDNS solved that. So if you're on DNA/Welho, and not able to access Facebook, head to opendns.com
  6. also, whois facebook.com is returning porn sites. Fascinating.
  7. Hmm... Exciting. facebook.com - No servers could be reached. DNS lookup fail.
  8. @trinta My last one was something like three years ago? But it'll happen to you too eventually :-)
  9. Whoa. Ten hours of sleep. Amazing.
  10. So it's rather euro-centric (or my readers just are) :-)
  11. Ah, Italian of course.
  12. Wondering: which other languages have double-R's? Spanish and Finnish come to mind. (Carreras, darra).
  13. It is surprisingly satisfactory to get regular emails about people finding your geocache.
  14. Destination: Stockholm.
  15. @Bopuc I find it very plausible that future humans are utterly insufferable idiots :-P
  16. WTF? TV2 started showing Doctor Who and nobody told me!
