Claire Forlani? Haven't heard that name in a long time. But like I say people still have to eat.

Review: In The Name of the King

- based on a video game
- Burt Reynolds plays a medieval king
- tells the story of a farmer named Farmer (Jason Statham)
- who must rescue his kidnapped wife (Claire Forlani, sadly not named Wife)
- Matthew Lillard, who plays the king's snivelling nephew.
- many battles, one of which features the king's ninja bodyguards

- tour de force of something, and it's probably best viewed in an auditorium filled with drunken college students.


Wow. Now I actually want to see this movie.

Steal This Wi-Fi:

Whenever I talk or write about my own security setup, the one thing that surprises people -- and attracts the most criticism -- is the fact that I run an open wireless network at home. There's no password. There's no encryption. Anyone with wireless capability who can see my network can use it to access the internet.

To me, it's basic politeness. Providing internet access to guests is kind of like providing heat and electricity, or a hot cup of tea. But to some observers, it's both wrong and dangerous.

I'm not sure I buy his arguments (open network being a stronger legal defense against misuse of your bandwidth, etc.), but it doesn't hurt to consider the viewpoint.

News Item: Tim Hortons employees offer tips on etiquette:

Frustrated employees have banded together on the popular social networking site Facebook to give cranky customers the basic rules on how to order their daily fix if they want to get good service.

A trip to Tim Hortons is part of the daily routine for many Canadians, but it doesn't necessarily seem to be the warm and fuzzy experience the commercials make them out to be for people on both sides of the counter.

Facebook hosts more than 500 groups about Tim Hortons, some appreciative, some definitely not.

Note to newspapers: Facebook groups are not news stories. It was bad enough when you used them to demonstrate support for an idea in a broader article. You cannot graduate to making them the basis of an entire piece. This is no more newsworthy than a story titled 'Cat Plays Piano.'

To recurse is divine. You should check out Lisp, Tay. That shit'll really blow your mind. (Or drive you crazy. Either way.)

yikes, the things people devise patterns for:




I'm sure they'd be incredibly warm, but, after two years of knitting them, I probably wouldn't want to lay eyes on them ever again.

Boo on the math/ computer programing joke.

I personally(at work) use iteration more then recursion, then again most funtions I work with have been long derived and uderstood. Just a matter of getting the right number of decimal places.
