As usual these days, there were all sorts of cameras present at yesterday’s activity. This is great because I of course couldn’t take my own pictures. Here’s a selection of pictures that I have received:
Yep, that’s me, to his left first and then to his right.
And here are links I’ve received/found with pictures of the event. I’ll be editing these as I find/get new ones:

OK, maybe the title doesn’t mean much, but I couldn’t think of anything better. So how about you just watch the videos?
I was barely finished with last week’s TED post when I stumbled upon the first of this week’s recommendations. I know I said that TED videos were only 18 minutes long, but I guess when you’re Jane Goodall you’re inherently expected to need a little more:
As inspiring as Mrs.
For a long time I’ve followed the same routing on Christmas day:
Wake up, unwrap presents, have breakfast, watch a movie, visit relatives.
Of course, over time, things have changed slightly. Most notably, the time I wake up, that fact most presents are actually opened the night before, breakfast became brunch and most of my relatives now live a 14-hour flight away.
Movie time didn’t change, though, and today’s was The Devil Wears Prada.
Finally! With today’s update, the Xbox 360 is now able to read DivX and XviD files (which you naturally acquired legally).
As soon as I heard about this, I of course turned on the beast and downloaded the necessary files (you need the new Xbox software and the codecs, which are downloaded separately).
It all works almost perfectly on my setup, which is a TVersity server streaming to the Dashboard on a PIII 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM.
¡Por fin! Después de la actualización de hoy, el Xbox 360 puede leer archivos DivX y XviD (que obviamente adquirieron legalmente).
A penas oí hablar de esto, encendí la bestia y bajé los archivos necesarios (se necesita el nuevo software Xbox y los codecs, que se bajan por separado).
Funciona casi perfectamente con mi configuración, que es un servidor TVersity que hace streaming hacia el Dashboard a partir de un PIII 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM.
Enfin ! Après la mise à jour d’aujourd’hui, la Xbox 360 est maintenant capable de lire des fichiers DivX et XviD (que vous avez logiquement acquis légalement).
Dès que j’ai entendu parler de cette mise à jour, j’ai évidemment allumé la bête et téléchargé les fichiers nécessaires (vous aurez besoin du logiciel Xbox et des codecs, qui sont à télécharger séparément).
Le tout marche presque parfaitement sur ma configuration, qui est un serveur TVersity qui stream vers le Dashboard à partir d’un PIII 500 MHz, 128 Mo de RAM.
Je viens d’un pays qui n’a pas d’armée—d’ailleurs, nous avons célébré hier 59 années sans armée—et bien que je suis contre la violence qu’avoir une armée implique habituellement, je dois admettre que j’admire les établissements militaires. Après tout, beaucoup d’avances modernes sont malheureusement le résultat de la recherche qui d’abord a été prévue pour la guerre et je ne nierai pas que deux ou trois mois de discipline martiale ne seraient pas si mauvais pour pas mal de jeunes d’aujourd’hui.
Vengo de un país que no tiene ejército—de hecho, celebramos ayer 59 años sin ejército—y aunque estoy contra la violencia que tener un ejército implica generalmente, tengo que admitir que admiro a las instituciones militares. Después de todo, muchos avances modernos son desafortunadamente el resultado de la investigación que al principio fue pensada para la guerra y no negaré que un par de meses de disciplina marcial no serían tan malos para muchos jóvenes hoy en día.
I come from a country which has no army—as a matter of fact, yesterday we celebrated 59 army-less years—and although I’m against the violence that having an army usually implies, I have to admit that I admire military institutions. After all, many modern advances are unfortunately the result of research which at first was intended for war and I won’t deny that a couple of months of martial discipline wouldn’t be so bad for many of today’s youths.
(Disclaimer: although I’m all for constructive criticism most of the time, this is clearly nothing more than a rant, which by the way, does not even deserve translating.)
Lets start with a dictionary definition of the word seamless:
adjective. perfectly consistent and coherent
Now lets take a look at a quote from the website of a product I decided to work with while writing my book on WPF (highlight mine):
