I thought I would add titles to the items on my weblog. This has been requested for the RSS feed to facilitate better scanning. Also I think it helps to define what a post is about and so keep me on-topic.
Final update : Well that didn’t take so long.
As a quick break from the weirdness that is Quantum Computing, I thought I would post the Song of the Week. As the exam is tomorrow, this will be necessarily short.
Audioslave are a mixture of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine; the singer is from Soundgarden and the other members from RAtM. They generally tend towards the Soundgarden side, with fuller guitar sounds than the generally harsh RAtM style. There is still plenty of RAtM in there though, don’t worry!
Our Union here in Bristol has some of the weirdest pool tables I’ve played on. Outwardly, they are just normal tables.
Start playing, however, and you find they are Crazy Pool Tables! Watch as your ball curves away from the pocket as if by magic! See balls travel in strange parabolas around undiscovered black holes within the distorted space-time fabric that coats the tables! Gasp as balls rebound from the sides of the table only to be magnetically drawn back!
One idea that I thought of recently is that of spatial email. Unsurprisingly perhaps, this sprung from my thoughts about spatial nautilus and my “actually, after a couple of weeks, this spatial idea rocks” epiphany.
I am generally thinking about thought processes in the real world where you know where things are: “here are my letters from Aunt May”, “there are my business things” and so on. Could this idea be extended into the realm of email in a similar way to files in the spatial phor?
Experimentation has provided further insight in yesterday’s don’t compile everything into the kernel advice. I removed as much as possible from the kernel itself into modules, leaving only essential filesystems and a few other bits in. I then added my VIA IDE chipset controller driver into the kernel and removed the default setting from the kernel. This resulted in a smaller kernel which boots, rather than failing in the decompression stage.
