Mountain View WiFi
I'm sitting in a park in Mountain View at the moment, and the Mountain View Google WiFi works just fine. That's totally cool. It makes me think about all those random crazy projects I can now implement where a computer in my car needs an internet connection to work right. Hmmmmmm... I guess that's another good use for a slug.
The dangers of bad automated translation
Translation error confuses Welsh cyclists. I'd be confused by a sign that said "bladder inflammation overturn" too.
Nuclear rifle and almost-suitcase nuke
Yes, I'm watching a documentary on wacking inventions. The documentary claims that the Davy Crockett nuclear rifle's effective range was smaller than it's lethal range, but Wikipedia does not agree. Oh, and what about the nuclear demolition backpack that was place by a human who could swim real quick.
Is it good when the directors of your former employer start suing each other?
I've been trying very hard to not comment on the takeover attempt under way at my former employer, TOWER software. It's getting kind of hard when the directors start suing each other in court and the case is reported. I guess this sort of behaviour explains why TOWER is still a 20 year old startup. Bias note: I am a former employee of TOWER Software. I have previously stated that I hold shares in TOWER, and feel no ill feelings over my departure from TOWER. However, this childish behaviour and the low probability of the shares appreciating in value in the foreseeable future (the share price has been stagnant for four years) has prompted me to accept the takeover offer, and I will soon hold no more shares (I hope).
