Thoughts

Friday, February 29th, 2008

In an effort to still post to this blog, I am just posting my random thoughts here.

Orange Monster Energy Drink, the jury is still out
—————————————-

Al Roker is such a tool, he never has anything to say when the cameras are leaving him other than

“That’s whats happening around the country, here’s whats happening in your neck of the woods”.

He is a tool not for saying this, but for saying every time. Even when he has CLEARLY not been talking about

“What’s happening around the country”

—————————————

Cake’s Rock Star Lifestyle (Motorcade of Generosity) is my new favorite song.

“Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket”

Check out the picture from the HuHot (a Mongolian Barbeque Joint in Columbia, MO) buffet.

Also the quick video of the best Mizzou KU game highlights.  Doesn’t Reesing look cute with turf in his helmet?

UPGRADE YOUR BROWSER

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Did you know that the browser you are using, or your clients are using is old as hell?

It is.  Well,  I should say it is for some of you. Especially the people who are reading this blog.  What is really funny is that the people who are trendy and joined the Mozilla FireFox revolution and are reading this blog, have some out dated browsers.  (btw if you have Firefox open a new tab and type “about:mozilla”)  Its cool with me if you like the browser you had in highschool, but it should be embarassing to know that I can see you don’t know how to keep your computer secure.

Like I said before, the readers of this blog are not that bad, but my side project (sentletters)  has some outdated browser users.  Here are the results from FireStats for the browsers used on that site:

Sentletters.com User Browser statistics

That is ridiculous.  Did you know that you can get paid $30-$125 per hour to go to people’s houses/places of business and upgrade their software for them?  Throw in a virus and spyware scan once a month, and you have geek squad running for the corners.  (TAKE DOWN GEEK SQUAD!!)

Here are the users for SeoClear:

It makes sense that the people reading this blog would have better browsers, and that they are more likely to actually update them on their own.  Thank you, I appreciate you. Why you ask?

The reason why I appreciate people who update their browser is that they are helping to prevent the asshats out there who are zombifying computers and creating a world wide network of spam machines.   I dislike spam greatly.  I also don’t like getting viruses or dealing with spyware.

If you have an old browser, like the geniuses with Internet Explorer 1.x-5 you are probably infected and causing my email account to filter messages to the spam folder… Thank you gmail spam filters!

Please update your browser, please update your browser, please update your browser.

Data Filtration: Bloom Filter

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

The bloom filter is:

“a space-efficient probabilistic data structure that is used to test whether an element is a member of a set. False positives are possible, but false negatives are not.”

By using this sort of filtration on your data, you can generate a smaller dataset that is MUCH more likely to be the correct set of data points, and that will have rejected the negatives for your set.
