Iceland: an afterward
Jun 01 2006, 23:51 EDT [updated Jun 02 2006, 01:17 EDT]
I got back four days ago so this wrapup is a bit late. This is just a collection of things I noticed.
The number one idea we need to borrow from Iceland is their traffic lights. Such a simple thing and so useful. Two seconds before a red light turns g

Need For Speed Press

The Iceland sprint has gotten some coverage in the geek press.
Linux Weekly News has a comprehensive writeup but I prefer the short CNet version because it uses me for a blurb.

Iceland Days 4 and 5 (1 image)
May 25 2006, 14:28 EDT [updated Mar 29 2007, 02:41 EDT]
Iceland is expensive, very expensive. Pints are $9 (600 Kroners), hamburgers are $20 (1400K), and entres start at $45 (3200K). A couple of the sprinters are locals and they say most people don't eat out for that reason. The sponsoring companies take ca

Iceland Day 3
May 23 2006, 21:01 EDT [updated May 23 2006, 21:07 EDT]
Lots of typing and coding and crap that is boring to 99.99% of the word's population and merely 99% uninteresting to our readers. I spent a few hours at the bar after dinner with one of the older hands. We mostly talked about geeky stuff (duh) but brief

May 23 2006, 04:43 EDT [updated May 23 2006, 04:45 EDT]
I'm behind on posting, so I'll cover the first two days at a shot. My original plan was to not sleep much the night before my flight so I would sleep on the plane and wake up at 6:30am GMT when the plane landed in perfect sync with local time. That mig

In Reykjavik
May 21 2006, 06:02 EDT [updated May 21 2006, 06:53 EDT]
I've landed in Iceland for the Need For Speed coding sprint. Geeky stuff will get reported over in the python section and other observations will go here. Due to the nature of the event most everything will be deeply geeky.
No trees. Well, there are s

Bush: It isn't Amnesty because I can't spell that word
May 15 2006, 21:20 EDT
Bush always says what he means and does very poorly at dressing it up as something else. Tonight in his prime time address he first made the case that illegal immigration is bad and then proposed a two prong solution. One: secure the border immediately

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
May 06 2006, 14:17 EDT
I don't plug TV shows much outside of the quickies section but I'll gladly make an exception for this one. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia debuts their second season in June on FX. The first season had a small and cultish following so it isn't too su
