Acropolis was pretty exausting yesterday, so I didn’t get to write before I got to Kos (Κωφ). I took the long, very steep way up to Acropolis, on the east side. The hill was very steep, but there were plenty of coffee shops and such in Plaka there, and the architecture was very [...]
The good news is that the talk went really well.. The bad news is that I was dead tired afterwards, so this post will be very short and somewhat uninteresting. The talk was attended by a few, including a Slovenian that I had met at the banquet the night before. I don’t know [...]
It was a fairly uneventful day at the conference today, with quite a few talks on robotics, and working on my presentation for Friday. The conference hotel is large and fancy, reminding me why we didn’t stay there (it is >100€ a night). There was some confusion at registration, because I was using [...]
Well, I arrived yesterday at Eleftherios Venizelos airport around 4:30pm. I finally found some power at the Madrid Barajas airport next to some nice chairs, and plugged in, I didn’t have any problems. I’m still surprised how few are available. The only thing I can figure is that most people don’t use [...]
Apple released Safari 3 for Windows and Mac a couple weeks ago, and of course as the early-adopter that I am, I was trying to download it before it was even actually available. I’ve been using it for the last weeks, and I’d like to boast and bitch about some of the features [...]
Today Diana and I went to the Cliquot Club Cafe for our weekly pizza place visit. We discovered this place on a long walk we took from our apartment on one of the recent lovely spring days, and decided to visit it today. It is situated slightly hidden, about halfway between Lake street [...]
I can write a program that counts up to 13256278887989457651018865901401704640, but apparently that would be illegal, because whoever owns HD-DVD claims they own the number. Perhaps the DMCA has gone too far when numbers are copyrightable?

It’s not the reason that you think. Sure, it includes a bunch of iPod functionality, but that’s not what I’m referring to. Not the least of which is, absolutely everyone is talking about this device. I haven’t seen this much buzz over a device in a long time.
Buzz is definitely nice, and [...]
There are some things that I have learned over the years as bad practice. There are some that I have learned through reading and contemplation, and a little experimentation. One of the categories of bad things that I have learned is visual aids for statistics. There is basically one cardinal rule for [...]
