I agree. Nice page though, enjoyed depressing myself with that... (Where do you get the area names from? I realise you may not be able to change them but OX13 5 Kingston "Pagpuize" should be Bagpuize.)

I'm a big fan of Gas's mid-90s project Burger/Ink, a collaboration with the almost as prolific Jörg Burger, and their "Las Vegas" album. And if you like that, try Porter Ricks. For something more recent, this week I

Personally I wasn't surprised to see (possibly) pirated content on an .edu site with a ~username URL, as the ~ suggested a student's page, where unauthorised content might pop up to share with classmates and stay up undetected by

Thank you for using the standard tracker note keys on the demo page! I look forward to exploring the library in more depth.

'Also, humans ofte dislike trace flavors, even when they like the flavor : it subconsciously tastes "dirty".' Interesting. This makes a lot of sense to me. I sometimes dilute fruit-flavoured soft drinks to reduce the cal

"The article touches very briefly on many possible explanations without ever coming to a conclusion." Agreed, which makes the "...and now you know the chemistry of why" closer all the more infuriating. I also agree that

Not Sierra, but I accidentally bought the EGA version of Monkey Island despite having a VGA card (I didn't realise there were separate versions and only saw the sticker on the side when I got home), but they did a really nice job on th

The online version says for me "This is a new entry (OED Third Edition, March 2006)" for capitalised "Google", meaning "To use the Google search engine to find information on the Internet." It also has a lower-

I've found that most English people have at least heard of Scottish notes but don't realise Northern Ireland also has its own notes, in several different designs issued by different banks, and so are even less likely to accept an

I saw this in person last year but unfortunately by the time I got to the exhibition some of the parts had been pulled off by visiting children (I assume) so only the drum section was working. Brilliant though!

In case anyone else is interested but didn't make it all the way through the comments on the blog page, a commenter notes that Miller Puckette of Max/PD music software fame was one of their coaches a year or two later.

Or give them an office to think their 10x thoughts in when you can have them elbow to elbow and back to back with your most chatty, whistling, foot-tapping, phone-using employees.

I read it as that too, and I applaud that sentiment, but I agree that the "or understanding other people's" seems a bit harsh in context. I'd even agree that in my own early 20s I was quite bad at appreciating the perspe

I loved BASIC games listing books as a kid. I was so excited whenever a new one came into the local public library. From a few years later (mid-80s) and probably aimed at a younger audience, but this was my favourite series: http:/&#x

It's precisely those idiosyncrasies of early modern orthography which make it difficult to use an off-the-shelf OCR package, which is presumably why these are hand-transcribed instead. Perhaps there is a specialist antiquarian OCR pack

I enjoyed this article but I think it's worth pointing out that for simple animations like those shown in example 1 you may not even need Python - POVRay lets you use clock-dependent variables in your scene files and then set off a bat
