Almost missed it.
Today, in 1936, Turing submitted his paper “On Computable Numbers“, which postulated the Turing Machine, “devices capable of performing any conceivable mathematical problem once it was represented as an algorithm”, i.e. the grand-daddy of all your cool gadgets.
If an a-machine prints two kinds of symbols, of which the first kind (called figures) consists entirely of 0 and 1 (the others being called symbols of the second kind), then the machine will be called a computing machine. If the machine is supplied with a blank tape and set in motion, starting from the correct initial m-configuration, the subsequence of the symbols printed by it which are of the first kind will be called the sequence computed by the machine. The real number whose expression as a binary decimal is obtained by prefacing this sequence by a decimal point is called the number computed by the machine.
Get shitted in celebration, it’s the only way.

“Nope.”
“Well, she does seem to have a soft spot for you, yeah, she likes you alright”
“What’s not to like?”
Then, later, with FEASTAD, her first:
“I think I owe you a beer…..ok, ok….make it two! What would I do without you?”
“You’d be fine. Beer, … OK, so, I’m usually free, well, most nights.”
“Alright! let’s go after my exam! It’s party time!”
“For three drinks and then you fall over?”
“Don’t challenge me…..”
“OK, keep your purple hair on.”

My Apple News email this morning suggested:
If you haven’t done so already, take a few minutes to download and install Mac OS X v10.3.4 Update (which, among other enhancements, lets Mac customers sync an iPod mini or 3rd-generation iPod
3rd-gen iPod?! What is one of those?! I’ve got to get geeking again Geoff.
I don’t have an Amazon wishlist, but if anyone fancies buying me something, I wouldn’t mind one of these.

Just playing with Google. A Google search for asiaxpat currently returns this site 6th, 2nd if you don’t include asiaxpat itself.
I plan on changing that. Just need a few links to this post.
Deleting threads from a public forum is outrageous, then he starts to insult me. Hilarious. Pathetic. Anyway, I have a few ideas in the pipeline.
