bugshaw at 12:51pm on 17/01/2008We have abseiling window-cleaners. The clock's second hand is pointing to both 5 and 8. The chap in front of me is rotating a carrot on his computer. Is it just me, or does the world seem slightly off-kilter today?
When someone drops a full water-cooler bottle onto cobbles, it makes a really impressive splash.
Ooh, strawberry! And rotating onion, apple, pear, plum. CIF is probably working on a machine vision project. I'm sorry my lemon icon is not rotating.
The database lecture notes start with B-trees and end with R-trees but don't cover any other vegetation in between. Except, arguably, hash.
There is a BarCamp in Edinburgh on Feb 1st.
I saw an amazing thing yesterday. Birds of a feather flock together. Have you seen two different flocks interact? One of seagulls, one of darker, squawking birds, starlings I think. It must have been good wheeling weather, as they were both up there above Bruntsfield links, in separate flocks, behaving independently, yet often passing through each other. I could see that one flock was following one spiralling path, the other following a different path - a snapshot would show one big cloud of birds, but in motion they are two. No mid-air collisions, despite the birds not appearing to take any notice of each other at all.
