How the iPhone's chances were seen then.... - Jan Wessnitzer
There *isn't* "an app for just about anything" until there is an app for iphone applications! (e.g., be able to interface that damn thing to some other hardware!)
Legally that is - Jan Wessnitzer from iPod
NewModelArmy! Looking forward to the gig in Glasgow tomorrow http://www.newmodelarmy.org/
'World's strongest' beer with 32% strength launched! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
A warning on the label states: "This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost." - Jan Wessnitzer
Mmmm. Want. - Bill Hooker
Yeah, saw this earlier. Strongest I've had is Belzebuth Pur Malt 15% - it was "an experience"... - Graham Steel
I love Carlsberg Elephant Beer (12%). - Bill Hooker
I think the strongest beer I ever tasted was some Belgian beer more or less 11% in strength.... I doubt 32% will taste anything like beer... but don't knock it before you try ;) - Jan Wessnitzer
also a seminar series inspired by Hamming and organised by Professor Alan Bundy at the School of Informatics (Edinburgh University) http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/researc... http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/researc... - Jan Wessnitzer
as Prof Alan Bundy put it: "The theme of the Hamming Seminar series is: * What are the important problems of your field? "The series is inspired by a famous talk by Richard Hamming at a Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar in March 1986. Hence the series title. Hamming discusses how to do really significant research with high impact. Of his many invaluable suggestions, asking yourself what are the really important problems is arguably the most valuable." - Jan Wessnitzer

A nice afternoon nap has cured the hangover! Yesterday's binge has thrown out all my (good) intentions I had for this weekend. - Jan Wessnitzer
Cheated!
If you present data from another paper, you should at the very least acknowledge the author(s). Right or wrong? (Some of my data has recently been published in another paper) - Jan Wessnitzer
Shocking. - Jo Young
You should reference and cite the data. Whether via citing a paper or a dataset I don't mind, but citation is key. - Cameron Neylon

Working!

My girlfriend reckons I would enjoy 'the west wing' if only I would give it a chance.... http://www.imdb.com/title...
I'm sure you would :) (Actually, there are quite a lot of caveats to that, but it's probably not constructive for me to mention all the things you might not like about it in advance.) - Mark Longair
Jo said you would side with her on that one :) - Jan Wessnitzer
It's really good! We need a British equivalent - an updated "Yes, Minister" could be interesting. Though I do like "In the thick of it"... :) - Jo Young
Looking forward to a lazy weekend!
I hope the UK research councils follow suit http://scienceblogs.com/clock...
