Humour

I’m sitting in a small town of Japan and drunk. The room has free internet access, so what else would I do but watch silly videos:
Mac vs PCs

I spent ages mucking around trying to get proper pdf output for a poster since the rendered pdf’s looked initially awful. Turns out that this is partly due to using the “Generic printer”. Changing it to another printer fixes it. You need to run a seperate program called spadmin, which isn’t on the path by […]

AmplifyMe

So I’ve finally gone ahead and registered a domain for my website venture.
I hope it will develop into a portal for self-enhancement. Whether through exercise, training, food, drugs or technology. By starting now I’ll be ready for when neural interface technology becomes main stream.

My first second authorship

After a year or so of trying to get this published, my colleague finally succeeded - which is good news for me since I’m the second author (I built the software the research is based on).

If you are bored, and you know me personally rather than just as a blogger, then feel free to fill in my Johari profile. If you start one up, then I’ll fill yours out if you comment.

The banality hole in life

As some people may be aware, I suffer from depression and when I say suffer from depression I don’t really mean suffer. Sure it sucks, but I’ve dealt with it for long enough to know how to manage it - the lows drag any motivation out of you and you have no desire to do […]

New hair

After spending lots on a haircut for my birthday in March, I thought I’d do it again. I never liked hairdressers - but when you go to a flashy place the treat you much nicer I think. Espresso, shampooed hair, and actually being helpful with what they think would look cool.
Anyway, results:

Snapple

I find this soo funny that it’s sad.
Thanks Bob for the link to the new comic for me to waste time reading
