I hope to get lots of building done today – The idea is that if possible we get some painting done tomorrow. We will have to see how that goes I think… Maybe we will just get the prep work done… We will se…<\/p>\n
Wired magazine has a story about a man in Alaska who wants to install a Cyclotron in his garage<\/a> in order to generate radioactive isotopes for PET scans. The locals are rather scared, comparing this device to a nuclear reactor. Whilst I am not convinced that the Cyclotron is dangerous, I am inclined to think that it should be installed in a business park, not inside a home. Hmm. <\/p>\n The O’Reily MAKE magazine has released their list of christmas gifts generally under US$100<\/a>. Some of these are pretty geeky, and I think many would only appeals to a subset of geeks too. Still, not a bad list. <\/p>\n Whirlpool has a story listing the current state of the VoIP playing field in Oz.<\/a> Interesting. It looks like Telstra<\/a> is attempting to bypass the ACCC as part of shutting down the CDMA network. This is to be expected of the current Telstra management I guess. Also on the telco side, Skype have just released a beta which includes video calling<\/a>. The LA Times is reporting that Scientists have found Ebola in three species of fruit bats commonly used for food in Africa<\/a>. This could explain where the disease hides when there are no infections for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hope to get lots of building done today – The idea is that if possible we get some painting done tomorrow.
