I've been pointing out these links to myself for ages, so there's a lot of those!

... 'cos it's 10am on a Tuesday, and I am poofed. After my aptitude test yesterday afternoon, I just completely chilled for the rest of the day, which explains why I'm waking up with a headache today (no, not a hangover - too much oil. Don't ask).
Anyway, while I'm waiting for my shower-water to heat up so I can get in and become human again, I figure I might as well post the following in case the computer crashes or whatever:
Wonder what happens today?

Also, some webcomics I should add to, err, well - where-ever it is I'm going to put blogs from now on. I guess.
And if you're up at 4am, without a thought in your head and nothin' to do, may I recommend a dose of Dinosaur Comics, easily one of the most consistantly funny comics I've ever seen? Hitting 'random' over and over again is a popular game when there's better things to do.

There have been some amazing photos on Astronomy Picture of the Day lately. Most astounding: this relatively indescript photo of Gliese 581, a star harbouring the most earth-like planet found outside the solar system. And in between, some joker decided to re-run the blue marble photograph. I don't suppose that photo ever gets old.
And then today's was this amazing photo of a possible dark matter ring, taken by the redoubtable Hubble Telescope. Look at that! Galaxies! I mean, wow.
In other news, I'd completely forgotten about the family website until my Dad reminded me, so now there's a post on everywhere we went in London up now. Took a while to get all those links working, mind. I need to add in the 'family' photos to the bar on top of the website, too, and maybe a couple new posts about ... well, anything, I guess.
Mr. Munroe has an amazing map of online communities on xkcd now. I love how it's a subtle manipulation of the Asian east coast! Singapore is right by the Bay of Angst, just sound of Xanga, while India is entirely covered by Classmates.com. Speaking of which, have you heard about Mr. Munroe's recent run-in with the MIT folks. Obviously, as per his request, he is being pelted by the algorithm from Jersey. While the effect the algorithm might have on normal people, it's effect on fictionals are well-established: the algorithm is believed responsible for the death of "Ask Jeeves" from the Internet several yoinks ago.
IndieHIG is a project designed to come up with an independent set of human interface guidelines. Interesting.
Yet another in the long line of redshirt jokes. Nicely done.
And, to round things off, this brilliantly cute comic about adulthood from the recently mentioned Mr. Munroe, him of the algorithm.

Indian cricket, watching cheese age, writing that all-important first novel, Purity Balls (which don't really work, surprise, surprise), and things you used to believe as kids.
And OMG what was he thinking? I mean, seriously; who writes like that?
Last but not least: The Sopranos: six seasons in seven minutes.
This is the second day in a row that I'll be going in to work early. Yay! But lack of sleep is also an issue. Last night: 6 hours, so while it's nothing to get happy about, it's not a total disaster, either. And then stayed up and played Halo (sorry, that's finished Halo) with Ifti, so that was fun too.

Cute! Insightful. So true. Ha, ha! Interesting.
Aaaannndd ... this is so cool, it gets a separate paragraph all to itself; it's the coolest comment I've seen on Slashdot in a while. So without further ado, near-death-incidents and MRIs.

How cute is this? How funny is that? I need to see who wins, and to take part in this. How cool is that, and I'll have to remember Randal's guide next time I'm teaching someone Perl, speaking of which, did you know he's off the hook?
There's more, but I can't be bothered to link to everything. A very angsty post by Popagandhi. Half-price off some very nice and interesting books from Lonely Planet. That's about it, I guess.
Back to my almost-done-since-forever parser for Nexus files, I guess =/.

To begin with, my favourite geek joke ever.
Then there's another not-too-bad geek filk.
To complete the geekiness, here's an article on the history of BSD Unix.
Enough geekiness; a friend of mine has a really nice post on funny signs. A long lasting JALEBE SMILE!, indeed!
Another friend has a post on She's A Rainbow, 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy), and Wrapping Paper.
A website on British food terminology.
An interactive way to learn Go (the game)
I am slowly getting addicted to Google Reader as expected. Sigh.
And - last and bestest! - the infinite cat project!

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
