Loop Invariant

So it’s Friday afternoon and I have another crypto exam tomorrow so I’ll be lazy and resort to posting some interesting links of the week

First cab off the rank is something I’ve only just found, apparently it has been like this for about three weeks so apologies if I’m a little slow

apparently Google maps has finally made it too Brisbane Australia (other parts of Australia too)

And this one courtesy of the Australian 2600 List the whole Black pages – grey pages thing seems to be heating up again with a flurry of new reverse look up directories. And the usual whining that it encourages stalking, of course you can just buy a reverse look up directory on CD for 49.95 so perhaps it encourages lazy or poor stalkers. I mean if the barrier to entry for your hobby is under $50 your not really that motivated and probably not a threat to anyone.

This is the best of the bunch I think, it has an easy link to a map (not Google maps just yet) and a load of other information too.

One other funny comment of the week, One of my projects is developing a home automation system in java and C++, the group is two IT-Maths dual degree’s, me and a dual IT-Law guy, the IT-law guy is in charge of the presentations and business cases. I was with the two other guys and about to write an email to the Law guy so he could put a description of the project for a business proposal, so asked one of the Maths guys to ask the other for a brief description of how the system works and he launches into a spiel about our messaging protocols and the system architecture, I interrupted and pointed out that we shouldn’t confuse the law guy, the second Maths guy stops for a second and without missing a beat says

“Hmm tell him it’s magic”
