Day: March 24, 2005

So, that talking you’ve been doing to your plants and the classically music played for them to hear apparently doesn’t make you all that crazy afterall

Not only can plants communicate with each other and with insects by coded gas exhalations, scientists say now, they can perform Euclidean geometry calculations through cellular computations and, like a peeved boss, remember the tiniest transgression for months.

Next time you need a little help on that math homework talk to your plant. (the story)

I forgot to meantion that on the banner above clicking each flavor takes you to a different page of the Adagio site.

I had a very productive and fun day of wireless networking challenges. I connected an office wirelessly using two DLink 7100APs. One acted as the access point and the other as a repeater. Much fun!

Woke at 5:30. Spent the day at the computer. Had an afternoon break to help Sarah deliver Girl Scout cookies. Skipped dinner. Spent 5 hours removing some nasty spyware and viruses from a computer. Returned home to grab 20 minutes of sleep then return to programming on the computer after brewing my final pot of coffee. The bean is dead! Java no more! Have an 8 hour day planned for tomorrow to help a company move their office and make sure all their computers are working.

I had a 5 hour computer repair tonight. I would have liked to have laid hands on the computer for another 3-5 hours. People really can’t afford to pay what repairing these machines are worth because if I billed an appropriate hourly rate they’d be better off buying a new machine. Of course, the data is what is actually valuable to people and businesses. I think I’m going to publish the method I use for cleaning the machines.

As for now, I’m exhausted but really need to work through the night.
