I have just spent the a couple of hours probably debugging code. I have found the major bug, where I was sending the wrong string at the last possible moment, where it was very difficult for me to monitor what was happening. Ironically, the reason that I changed the code was to make the software more managable, but it added the bug. I hate it when that happens, but the problem is now fixed – I hope.
There is an article in the SMH about a ‘Alternate Reality Game’ which is being run on the Internet and in real life. It sets really hard puzzles for those who are interested, in order to get people interested in something. Steven Speilburg did something similar to this for the movie ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’.
Earlier today I posted a link to a friend’s honeymoon photos. He has now sent me a photo of a vehicle tracking system in use in Brisbane. This photo just goes to prove that either the driver is in an exceptionally fast car, or the GPS receiever is not working correctly.
Slow Fast Food
From boingboing.net, comes a story about a Chinese food delivery person stuck in elevator for three days
“One more reason to carry a cell phone. The Chinese Food delivery guy gets stuck after making his house call in a high rise elevator in the Bronx. He shouts, he bangs, he rings the emergency button. The city fathers put on a massive search for him. Three days later somebody decides to figure out why the elevator isn’t working…”
Anyway I guess it is time for me to cook some food for dinner.
