on Wednesday December 24, 2008 @ 02:38pm[ 5 replies ] ...about a mile or so from my apartment. The video feed has now been turned off I guess to something else. But here is a google map to approximately where it happened. Here's a shot of the house from the KCRA (a local TV station) website since I couldn't figure out how to screen grab the video feed: ![]() It's funny; at work the whole building shook like a one-second earthquake and I thought someone had run a truck into us or perhaps a plane at Mather Field had crashed. Heheh. The house in the shot is utterly annihilated but the nearby houses are still standing. Weird.

on Wednesday December 24, 2008 @ 01:37pm[ 18 replies ] So since it's taking me forever to get the next update to the THCNET code finished, I figured I would at least give people access to what I've done so far. I'm not quite finished with the message tagging feature which is suppose to be in this code update, so I'm leaving that disabled for now. However you do have the bug fixes and other tweaks to the code I have finished. Changes since the last update: [ more ]

Max Planck Institute salutes China with brothel ad
[ Stupid Links ]
Posted by Krux
on Thursday December 18, 2008 @ 09:43am[ more ] Science journal mistakenly uses flyer for Macau brothel to illustrate report on China. From www.independent.co.uk A respected research institute wanted Chinese classical texts to adorn its journal, something beautiful and elegant, to illustrate a special report on China. Instead, it got a racy flyer extolling the lusty details of stripping housewives in a brothel.
Chinese characters look dramatic and beautiful, and have a powerful visual impact, but make sure you get the meaning of the characters straight before jumping right in. There were red faces on the editorial board of one of Germany's top scientific institutions, the Max Planck Institute, after it ran the text of a handbill for a Macau strip club on the front page of its latest journal. Editors had hoped to find an elegant Chinese poem to grace the cover of a special issue, focusing on China, of the MaxPlanckForschung journal, but instead of poetry they ran a text effectively proclaiming "Hot Housewives in action!" on the front of the third-quarter edition. Their "enchanting and coquettish performance" was highly recommended.
Snow
Posted by Krux
on Wednesday December 17, 2008 @ 04:37pm[ Pie ] [ 40 replies ] It's snowed at least once the past few years up where I work since the elevation is higher, but usually the snow doesn't last very long, and where my house is it's usually just rain. A couple days ago it snowed again up where I work, and there were a few inches of snow on the ground in places. Even had some patches of snow still around the next day. Now it's snowing at my house, and actually sticking, so I took some pictures. Caliente Snow! |
