postAiieeee - University - 31st May

Stuck…in…library….slowly…going….insane.

I can’t wait for exams to be over.

But, there is much comedy grafitti on the desks to keep me occupied. Here are some glorious examples of student humour:

“I eat Motherf*ckers for lunch”

and then underneath

“you are what you eat!”

and one from angst central:

“Help! I’m in love with my flatmate!”

this is what keeps me going…

postWireless - Edinburgh - 27th May

A few of our buddies are involved in the BackNet project in Edinburgh. Their aim is to provide a community-run network, mainly utilising wireless technology. Adam has just drawn up a nice map of the current nodes and their coverage. Although it doesn’t look much this is quite an accomplishment, a few nodes are also coming online soon that will hopefully link up the nodes in my area (the bit at the centre left) and the cluster at the bottom.

postWoooo - University - 26th May

Avoiding revision in the library and reading the uni computers services webpage I came across this in their upcoming projects section:

UN12 SMS Text Messaging Gateway
A project is proposed to implement a pilot centrally-managed gateway to a commercial SMS provider for the purpose of communicating with staff and students using SMS messaging. Services provided could include SMS paging service, email notification and University notices. The project would investigate cost recovery mechanisms and ongoing costs of the service. If approved, this project would be completed by May 2003.

UN13 WAP Interface for Mail
There are requests for additional interfaces to the University staff and student mail systems for mobile access. This project will investigate the suitability of a WAP interface for mail. If approved, this project would be completed by May 2003.

not bad I thought.

postThe Most Fun Since A-Funny-Time-Long-Ago - Links - 20th May

Stumbled across homestarrunner.com last night, and managed to spend ages chuckling over Strongbad’s emails. Especially this one, the BURNINATOR strikes!!11.
Superb voice acting and nice animation along with ker-azy characters make for the funny.
