Bricks

Somehow, it feels like I am posting to a brick wall.
Here's a picture I made in Photoshop when I was tired just now.

Now you too can be a vector and escape a black hole (possibly an ocean scene)

The Apocalypse

In the eternal struggle for movies to produce yet another shitty apocalypse end of the world type disaster porn movie (looking at you "2012"), I was thinking, how many possible endings to world could there be?

1. Zombie Apocalypse
   The mainstay of plot devies in many movies too numerous to list. So the dead have risen from the grave and want your brains. There will be no restoration of mankind, they're all zombies now and if you don't want to become one of the shuffling hoard, you fight, with crowbars and shotguns.
   



2. Alien Invasion
   
   
   Probably first thought up by H.G Wells in "War of the Worlds", basically aliens of far superior technological power than us puny (and enslavable humans) overrun and take over earth, or destroy it. You hope in vain that they catch the common cold but remember that likely also have disease and came prepared, you then catch an alien disease 10 times worse.
   


3. Robot Uprising
   
   I wrote 2 stories for school pieces on this very subject as it happens. Basically, robots become sentient and decides it's their turn to totally kick ass. There is a high chance of you being fried by a LASER beam.
   
   
4. Natural Disaster
   
   These are your typical Mankind is bad and the planet is fighting back (because they want you to believe in Gaia or some shit). These usually form the worst of all disaster movies, with special effects through the roof and crappy morals to look out for. May also be accompanied by people putting aside prejudices and learning to live with each other.
   
   

Problems

So
Now school has finished forever, I have lots of free time and am working a little bit of at my real place of employment. In other news, I have been doing a lot of nothing lately. This mostly consists of going for walks and thinking about things or surfin' the internets.

Typical sites to visit include:

• Superuser.com


• stackoverflow.com


• reddit.com


• projecteuler.net


• facebook.com


• 4walled.org for the best in random unlimited wallpaper works

Other than these there's the usual comics and another one I realised I hadn't finished reading all of yet. buttersafe.com

And if you can figure out what is going wrong here, I'll give you a prize:

lists = nub $ map sort [ [[a,b,c],[d,c,h],[e,h,i],[f,i,j],[g,j,b]] | n@[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j] <- permutations [1..10], ring n ]
ring [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j] = (length $ nub $ map sum [[a,b,c],[d,c,h],[e,h,i],[f,i,j],[g,j,b]]) == 1 
answer  = read $ concatMap show $ head    $ map concat lists :: Integer

Yet another post

In current news, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I am an INTJ. Apparently they are the mastermind and comprise 1% of the population. What about you?.

Anyway, in the interest of always learning new things, I have begun learning Haskell (upon suggestion from a friend), and to learn that, I started doing the questions over at http://projecteuler.net. I have answered 33 so far, using Haskell for all but 1 of them, when it seemed my trusty TI-83 Plus would suffice. In doing these questions I have learned a lot more number theory.

Also, I recently found that many text editting things like word or even firefox allow you to navigate around the text by going CTRL+ left or right to skip through words!

Also Jazz is pretty good and I would suggest you listen to the "Times" series by Dave Brubeck. Either that or Herbie Hancock.

Also here's a giant ascii fractal made with haskell, extract and view, zoomed out in firefox for best effect, then zoom in and see that it is actually text.

I final note, I rarely watch TV these days, it's usually crap. That and Nong Shim noodles are way better than Mi Goreng.

For Laura

That comic you so desperately wanted to see.

A new age of posts

So, after a long hiatus of posting, I shall post!

So I have my favourite webcomics and sites. I guess you would like to know what they are now wouldn't you (you stalker you)?
Here you go anyway:

• Legorobot


• Cyanide and Happiness


• SMBC


• Perry Bible Fellowship


• xkcd


• Subnormality (If you find a comic with more words, I'd like to see)

Now I must insiste you check them all out at some stage and if you know of better, please tell me.
Also, I have this thing where I tried to read all of the artists' comics, which is why when I was younger I read pretty much every Garfield book I could get my hands on and also practically every Far Side comic Garry Larson ever made. And yes I read all of the ones from the links at the top.

FUCKING AWESOME!
