You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
Zoto looks really nice, and I should visit it frequently because it has no RSS feed. Ehm.... that of course means, I'm putting the picture gallery for blogs up here and hope that I come back for it. I first read about this at PhotoMatt today, and even though he sais WordPress is not supported, obviously they're working at it. I'll give 'em a ping and ask for that RSS feed. I love image RSS feeds! 
Fresh photos, a glance of people's lives without reading all the time. Call me lazy, but I've always loved photos
The news is out, alcohol is good for you. Of course, everyone just points to this article to legitimize their drinking, not reading it and certainly disregarding all articles that say the opposite. 
And I love strange conclusions: such as, I should drink half a bottle of wine before studying.
A for the geeks variant on how to be creative is available at GapingVoid. I must admit disagree with his way of thinking, but by the sound of it, he's trying to make people think big and beyond. I'd prefer introducing people to the subtleties. But I'm no teacher, so when I find that someone has done this, I'll link to him.
In his article on Great Hackers, Paul Graham works on how productive coders actually like to work. This is a little piece I hope my current, my future and my past employers will read. While I'm sure they are heaps of exceptions, this is very much how it works for me. So if this is the kind of work I'll be doing, do read.
Hendrik Scholz has made a great case in his article FreeBSD source keyword statistics that FreeBSD hackers should stop writing comments, or lie when writing them
An interesting site is http://www.seewhatyoushare.com where a lot of documents and images have been revieled that apparently have been shared through P2P networks. Someone learn the military how to use a computer. Anyways, the really great picture among them is this:
Remember Seinfeld's sketch with Kramer and the hot coffee? Well... happened to me today. You know it's a dangerous occupation when you have to go three stories to get a good cup of coffee
They're trying out a discussion/planning forum for the Ringve early music summer course at olavsfestdagene.no. Nothing fancy but I'm sure it does the job.
This quarters edition goes back to everyone's favourite:
Amarilli mia bella, Van Eyck's variations
I was at the jazz festival in Kongsberg friday together with a good friend of mine from ODU. There I met a friend I lived with in Australia and a friend from secondary school and his girlfriend. Good stuff. We got to see Bobby McPhee at The Thing w/McPhee & Cato Salsa Experience and Palace of Pleasure, although with the last concert I loved the warmup band while PoP didn't really perform but sing and play bass to playback-only. Not much of a performance. Today is cancled for my part as I had to go back to Oslo to fix a server that crashed during the night. Bugger! (the damned thing ran out of swap and locked out all) We had a couple of concerts lined up and it'd been fab being there. The feel of the place was great. Everyone was friendly and outgoing and we got to chat with heaps of nice people. Wish I could've stayed.
