I lived in Carouge.

Home town: Carouge

Carouge has a coat of arms.

The coat of arms depicts a lion, sitting in front of a tree.

It is used as decoration all over the town.

She picked up the folder and a piece of paper fell out.

Shaped like a shield, the paper had a
red background, a green tree, and a yellow lion with its tongue
hanging out and whose tail was shaped like an S.

She stared at the folder. S! The answer she had been looking for all this time was simply the letter S! How had she not seen that before? It all came together now. The phone call where Hector had referred to a lion's tail, the time Maria had stuck her tongue out...

My cats

Fluffy

Fluffy is my favorite.

She likes playing with a ball of yarn.

She's just too cute.

Miles

My other cat, Miles just eats and sleeps.

Photography

Shooting moving targets indoors

The trick here is to know how to anticipate; to know at what speed and what distance the subject will pass by.

A cat flying by, chasing a ball of yarn, can be
photographed quite nicely using this technique.

Nature by night

To achieve this, you'll need either an extremely sensitive film, or immense flash lights.

About me

My pets

I've got a cat named Fluffy and a dog named Miles.

Fluffy, my cat, tends to keep itself busy.

My dog Miles and I like go on long walks together.

music

After our walks, having emptied my mind, I like listening to Bach.

Fluffy and the Yarn

Fluffy was a cat who liked to play with yarn. She also liked to jump.

She would play in the morning, she would play in the evening.

In the common case, the data handled by the tokenization stage comes from the network, but it can also come from script.

The Network
passes data to the Input Stream Preprocessor, which passes it to the
Tokenizer, which passes it to the Tree Construction stage. From there,
data goes to both the DOM and to Script Execution. Script Execution is
linked to the DOM, and, using document.write(), passes data to the
Tokenizer.

Latest TWiT episode is online

The latest TWiT episode has been posted, in which we hear several tech news stories as well as learning much more about the iPhone. This week, the panelists compare how reflective their iPhones' Apple logos are.

We have recently been looking at buying the ΑΒΓ company, a small Greek company specializing in our type of product.

The ΑΒΓ company has had a good quarter, and our pie chart studies of their accounts suggest a much bigger blue slice than its green and orange slices, which is always a good sign.

Consider for a moment their logo:

It consists of a green circle with a
green question mark centered inside it.

How unoriginal can you get? I mean, oooooh, a question mark, how revolutionary, how utterly ground-breaking, I'm sure everyone will rush to adopt those specifications now! They could at least have tried for some sort of, I don't know, sequence of rounded squares with varying shades of green and bold white outlines, at least that would look good on the cover of a blue book.

Once upon a time and a long long time ago, late at night, when it was dark, over the hills, through the woods, across a great ocean, in a land far away, in a small house, on a hill, under a full moon...

The Network leads to

leads to the Tree Construction stage. The Tree Construction stage
leads to two items. The first is Script Execution, which leads via
document.write() back to the Tokenizer. The second item from which
Tree Construction leads is the DOM. The DOM is related to the Script
Execution.

The Lady of Shalott

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road run by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

I took a photo

I went out today and took a photo!

The photograph shows my squirrel
feeder hanging from the edge of my roof. It is half full, but there
are no squirrels around. In the background, out-of-focus trees fill the
shot. The feeder is made of wood with a metal grate, and it contains
peanuts. The edge of the roof is wooden too, and is painted white
with light blue streaks.
