Deep Thoughs (NFL in Europe?)
Posted by A R Baboon in Datapoint, HaHa Funny on October 26, 2007
I just saw a CNN Headline news um… headline… about the NFL looking to start things going in UK and Europe and I had my own “deep thoughts”:
If the NFL opens a European branch does it become the LFN?
Even funnier, in a “small world” sense, is where I found the image.
Modeling in Kabul
Posted by A R Baboon in Datapoint, Poly-Sigh on August 1, 2007
I have been following the Sketchup Buildings Blog for a little while now and I can’t help but notice that almost every day a new model of a building in Kabul is modeled. I can’t find a site for this development and I am not sure the motivation but it seems to be related to a German Computer Science/Mathematics professor. I imagine this may be part of reconstruction projects and planning. What I don’t get is why they were nice enough to make it public. In any case here are some more shots. I will make a fly through video when I get a chance.

Or why I have not been posting
Except:
Procrastination or “task aversion” is the irrational delay of an intended course of action, even while expecting to be worse off for the delay (compare temporisation). The procrastinator deviates from the task, usually in favor of another more enjoyable (or less unenjoyable) activity. This behavior is pervasive throughout society – everyone procrastinates to some degree – but some people are so chronically affected as to be severely debilitated.
Technorati Integration Attempts
Posted by A R Baboon in Computer Science, Datapoint, Uncategorized on December 31, 2005
I have now added some automated Technorati
integration to this WordPress blog which will hopefully make it more integrated with a tag based internet. I addded the WordPress TechnoTag which allows you to add <ttag>’s around a term that relates to the subject of the post or comment. The TechnoTag plugin has a little bit of breakage though. It will make subsequent tags link to the first tag name in a post. There is a fix listed here which you can use to patch it up. Do take care to convert the fancy quotes to real ones so PHP doesn’t s|it the bed on you.
I have also made further attempts to register this blog and I am presently trying to contect their support to figure out why it no worky. To answer Doug’s question, Technorati allows a user to create a RSS feed for arbitrary searches. Therefor you could have notification of someone linking to your site or to a peticular tag. If Doug had known this he could have been notified of this post in his liferea cha cha cha
