Um…

Gervase Markham, a Mozilla programmer, has an interesting viewpoint on macro-evolution. Basically, he is trying to say that although evolution as a process is pretty much not in dispute, that doesn’t mean you can just work backwards and say that evolution is how life came to be on this Earth.

To those of you running web servers…

… you may want to double-check your PHP-using programs, such as phpBB. There is a worm going around the Internet which uses Google to search for phpBB-using sites and then deface them automatically. The security flaw itself is a mixture of the recent major PHP vulnerabilities and the so-called highlight bug in versions of phpBB prior to 2.0.11.

Cool archive

I found an archive yesterday of “speed runs” through different video games. It’s quite amazing actually, and there are different types of movies. There are people who try to beat the game in the quickest possible time, and others who try to collect all items and finish the game in the quickest time.

Ad I saw a few days ago

Wow

These are my grades from the last 4 classes I took before graduating:

Little tin cans

Had my first accident where I was at fault today. This also happened in the Aveo, so I’ve created a new category in my blog since apparently I’m going to be writing a few something-bad-happened-in-my-Chevy stories.

Graduation Update

The graduation went well enough. I got to the University Arena early and met in the back to get ready, and get my name card filled out. I managed to get into the right line 15 minutes before the ceremony (the College of Arts and Sciences had a huge sign next to their hallway which dumps right into the meeting room, whereas you had to go through a few unmarked doors to get to my College’s line).

Graduating

I’m graduating tomorrow (or to be more specific, later today). After that, it’s time for intensive practice to prepare for Officer Candidate School (and maybe some last-minute programming if I can).

Update

The Steelers game was awesome.
