We have a list of 10 (famous) girl geeks from CNET and one from someone else. The CNET list has Ada Byron, Grace Hopper, Mary Shelly, and Marie Curie. Mary Shelly isn’t someone who I’d have listed, but it does seem appropriate now I think about it. Marie Curie is one of the top geeks […] Recently there has been some really hot weather in Melbourne that made me search for alternate methods of cooling. The first and easiest method I discovered is to keep a 2L bottle of water in my car. After it’s been parked in the sun on a hot day I pour the water over the windows. […] I have been asked for advice about long-term storage of documents. I decided to blog about it because my thoughts may be useful to others, and because if I get something wrong then surely people will correct me. ;) Many organizations are looking at using computers for storing all documents. This gives savings on the […] Michael Davies recently blogged that all developers should have big screens. This news has been around for a while, the most publicity for the idea came from Microsoft Research where they did a study showing that for certain tasks a 50% performance increase could be gained from a larger monitor.

My planned hardware was a P3 system for both frontend and backend. However the Debian MythTV packages take over 250M of memory […] /tmp /mnt/bind bind bind 0 0 Today I discovered that the above syntax works in the /etc/fstab file. This enables a bind mount of /tmp to /mnt/bind which effectively makes /mnt/bind a hard link to /tmp. The same result can be achieved by the following command, but last time I tried (quite some time ago) […] This morning I received an email from the AMD Developer Center advising me that I need to fill out their NDA if I want access to their development machines. I have a vague recollection that when AMD64 was first released I was very keep to get access to such hardware and had applied to AMD […] On several occasions in discussions about life etc friends have mentioned the theory that quantum mechanics dictates the way our cells work. In the past I have not been convinced. However this site http://www.surrey.ac.uk/qe/Outline.htm has a very well written description of the theory which is very compelling. No related posts. |
