På lista over ting eg ikkje likar å oppdaga står m.a. det at fiolinkassa har stått under ein liten lekkasje i sommar, slik at kasse med innhald har blitt fuktig, slik at a) det gror sopp på fele, boge og hakestøtte og b) bogen blir mjuk og mistar spensten. I går kveld brukte eg ei god stund på å demontera fiolinen, vaska over med sprit, og setja ihop igjen. Bogen er merkbart dårlegare enn før, både i hårfeste og spenst. Kva treverket i fiolinen syntest om å vera vått veit eg ikkje heilt, men eg trur i alle fall eg fekk rydda vekk soppen som grodde på halsen. Så er det berre å sjå kva som skjer med lyden i instrumentet. Det blir neppe ei forbetring, men så har jo heller aldri fela lått vent i mine hender.

Even though ordinary pie charts are evil, this little program called Filelight is still able to be very useful and nifty. And it’s not really using pie charts, either. It just looks like it.
The point isn’t the pretty diagram it shows, of course. It’s how it lets me move around, identify disk space wastrel, peek around etc. Very nifty and intuitive, much easier than du for cleaning up a messy ~.
På gromølfylla i København er slett ikkje den verste måten å feira alderdommen på.
Tomorrow morning I’ll be off to ICPS, organised by IAPS. Week-and-a-half in Coimbra, Portugal. Sun, b33r, p0rt and h0tt physics b4b3s. I be looking forward to it. Now if I can just finish these things I should have done on Sunday, like the poster and the lecture I’ve promised to bring along. Wish I’d remembered the costume party earlier, because I sure don’t have time to come up with anything now. My running ideas are rather RF-specific.
Certain so-called “skeptics” are proposing to Google-bomb Intelligent Design. How rude. I am shocked. And just because Intelligent Design is a heap of bollocks, seeing as it’s creationism in a nice suit. Have those hard-working Intelligent Design advocates deserved this attack? Who knows? Maybe I’ll just (Intelligent Design) do it again to be on the safe (Intelligent Design) side.
… is a new velocity color scale. Whee me.
