I do NOT kick puppies!

I do type mesmerizingly fast, though… :)

Wanted

I am told these were scattered around Taub… I haven’t been there to day, but it feels good to be infamous :twisted:

Samurai Jack – Ingenious!

When approaching a port, the Scotsman:

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany. And the crab cakes ain’t too bad, either!

Later on:

- Is it fast?
- It sure is. But it’s gonna cost ya – 10,000 up-front.
- 10,000? We could buy our own ship for that!
- But who’s gonna sail it?
- I can. I piloted (some smaller kind of ship) back when I was a kid.

(and if you haven’t seen Star Wars, you’re just not gonna get it)

Waiting for the bus

I’m going home for the weekend, as usual. Unfortunately, the first bus of my route comes by at highly unpredictable times – I’ve had it be an hour late on me once. There are plenty of Wi-fi networks around the station – either WPA, WEP or MAC-whitelisted… fortunately, someone was using the latter long enough for me to catch him with Kismet. Thank you, stranger! :)

It’s a sad state of affairs that people go ahead and limit access to their wireless network. I keep mine wide open – מי שאוכל לבד, מת לבד.

Syntax highlighting

This plugin looks cool, but is it overkill?

class Fixnum
  def factorial
    return 1 if self == 0
    return self * (self - 1).factorial
  end
end
int factorial(int n) {
    if (n == 0)
        return 1;
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
