new FractalTreesX
I just released a new version of FractalTreesX . It’s a total alpha, complete with loads of bugs and some very odd behaviour when the size of the tree changes, but it’s a LOT faster. I think it’s probably about 3-4 orders of magnitude faster now. And the code is completely rewritten and I am MUCH happier about that. I would even say go and read it, because it’s pretty good looking. I removed the total spaghetti that someone (initials are MYI…) told me was a good way to do it and replaced it with a nice simple multithreaded engine.

undersea fibre cables
The case of the monopolized undersea cable . Fibre optic undersea cables are the backbones of the internet (and the whole telecommunications structure of the world). So what happens when they build a new one but one single company controls a monopoly over the landing station where sea meets land? Read this to find out. This same situation is occuring in Africa as well, but it’s not as well documented.

Digital IQ
This is kind of fun. The “Digital IQ Test” . I scored 196. There really isn’t enough discrimination at the top. Also, apparently they think that “Most files on the Mac can be read on a PC” is true, which I would disagree with.

Yowza, CSS
IE for Windows’ problems would be cute if it wasn’t so popular. So it turns out that @import directives in a CSS file aren’t supported in IE… if they contain a media type. Which mine did … so anyone looking at parts of the site in IE was getting a seriously garbled output. Well, I “checked” in Virtual PC just to be sure things were looking OK and they weren’t. Now it’s fixed. I still love that shade of red .

US spam bounties
US government is finally taking action on spam. Now we can set up “spam bounties” … I would love to see bounty hunters going after companies that use spam, at $1000 a pop :-)

Camino drawing bug
Mike Pinkerton says that he’s making some progress on the Panther drawing bug. That’s good because any kind of 0.8 release of Camino would have to have that fixed. Also since I don’t actually have panther yet, I hope that I don’t have to upgrade to look at this problem since I’m still happy waiting for other people to make sure panther doesn’t have any big stupid mistakes in it.
