It will be a riveting book! Loots of plenty of food talk. Then there is the love angle provided by CM - who even likes to .

Got to be a bestseller.

I.e. building a pyramid out of boiled spaghetti?

Right, I'm off to get some milk 'n' muchie bits. Back soon.

My hand smells much better now, the smell that injured limbs in casts and bandages develop is awful.
I couldn't stand to be in the same room as it anymore, and I couldn't hang it out the window coz it's too cold out there

Your poor wife! I fely sorry for her anway! But then to put up with the smell...

It's an algorithm (or family of algorithms) for grouping data points according to some definition of distance, such that points that are "near" each other in some sense can be treated as a single unit.

It's used for various purposes including genomic analysis, but I'm using it for some GIS work - or a Google Maps application, to be precise

It allows one to zoom in and out and, rather than having lots of points too close to each other to distinguish, they can be lumped together as one meta-point centered on the region they occupy. Then you can click on that and it zooms in and shows you the individual points in the cluster.

Funnily enough it was something I'd been working on for my own purposes but am now actually using in an application for NewClientCorp

Sounds very mathematical - I must investigate...

It's a Mac. Two of the files, however, represent a virtual machine with Windows XP SP2 installed on it.

How does a Mac's filing system work relative to Windows? Similar setup?

That is, does it matter if you have umpty-quiliion files on one drive?

A Sort of Visual Statistical Analysis using Boolian Logic Combined with reverse Fractal Geometry and a form of cluster math ?
Interesting concept

I could have linked to an explanation that was in reasonably plain English, but I thought you'd probably prefer the one with lots of equations

Only four more weeks till Easter

A whole five nights at home

Where's the weepy smiley?

Two days without pay! <weepy smiley here>

Most of us are

I have liked most of those I have met. Apart from one thing. Their total hatred of the English. Usual cited reason is arrogance.

Mind you the brother-out-law likes the English - in fact he married one!
