When I noticed that I would have to reference Web colours in RGB hex code, I was glad I was already very familiar with hexadecimal code. I greeted the discovery of external scripts for JS and CSS with joy, because I knew how versatile those

I first learned about HTML by studying the tags in web page source codes in college. This was not part of the curriculum: I was picking up the skill off my own bat. Likewise for Javascript and CSS (and basic use of forms and CGI); I first l

In the 1960s, Gerry Anderson's series Thunderbirds did more than just entertain a generation of kids with his trademark Supermarionation puppetry adventure - Gerry Anderson liked to think big, and he liked to think like a scientist and engi

I certainly do not support such a measure; nor does anyone I know. 973 people were polled. In no way can that tiny population represent the views of the more than 60 million Brits alive today. The pollsters should have made a bigger study a

It looks like the TechCrunch comments page has somehow merged with the SuperPoke Pets forum. Nobody complaining about their Video Inbox or Pool Party products getting shelved. Just SPP pet owners.

It was for me. But then, I had a good maths tutor. Ironically, I cannot recall his name. But the lessons he taught stayed with me, so at least he's remembered for something.

Not just for twelve year olds. It works just as well for this 48 y.o., too.

In five years' time, it would not surprise me to hear a television news presenter saying something like "And now, to summarise the news we have been breaking and following online on our news feeds ..." TV news will essentially become the ba

I know I could have found a translator to convert the code for the title into plaintext, but I downloaded the list of Morse Code and gave it a go manually. I know. I'd have failed my HAM radio test, back when Morse Code was a requirement. M

I suspect that the Guardian's editorial staff may have acted like a spy in the camp throughout the election period. The rest of the media, I could understand: but the Guardian seemed to like AV as much as the Telegraph or the Mail, and that

I woke up this morning, determined to look for unanswerable questions. Hungry for philosophy. By chance, I decided to browse through HN now, rather than later. If I'd come here later, I might have missed this link, and this blog. I honestly

What happens to the sculpture, now he has completed it? Does it go on permanent exhibition somewhere? Curious to know its fate. I would like to visit San Fran some time, and I would pay to go and see that sculpture if I did.

What began as a simple glitch and a footnote in the history of howlers and error turned into an interesting tale of morality, honour and ethics. Fascinating.

I have it on good authority that Australia won't receive the first episode on their screens until April 30th. Have the Beeb suddenly changed their minds? Will the Beeb, then, surprise them by releasing the season opener to them on the same

I first got into transfinite numbers through a book by Rudy Rucker, "Infinity and The Mind." I tried explaining this subject to a Doctoral candidate once, at around 2am - and he accused me of having come off my meds.

I see no problem with happiness. However, happiness will always remain fleeting - a momentary feeling of contentment and fulfillment where you convince yourself that you have achieved your goals. A dedicated, mindful person can achieve many
