Local wikis

Wikipad. A very interesting wiki-like application that I think is ideal for those of you in college that need to do papers and research. I think it's very helpful when it comes to organizing ideas. I'm linking the windoze version of it, but there are versions of it for linux and mac. Python-coded, which is really nice.
I think it's very nice and helpful if you are acquainted with the wiki way of organizing information. It might also help at work for some of you, and even at story-telling. =]
If you know of other locally-run wikis (that run on linux, hehe) let me know. =]

The robe of a ghost






The ghostly tail of comet swan.  I loved this picture and I want to share it with you.
A comet traveling endlessly through the universe, the ghostly rims of its gossamer gown gently sweeping the dark emptiness among a myriad of twinkling stars.

It evokes thoughts of unreachable and silent beauty. 

The other day I was talking to Mauhaut about gazing at the stars.  I think I've always been a star-gazer.  Although living in a noisy and crowded city sometimes opaques your view of the sky, you always know the stars are there... even if the tumult doesn't let you see them, or the busy life you lead hides them away from you and keeps your gaze pinned to the monotonous ground.

Sooner or later, we raise our heads, and our eyes go to the skies looking for peace, for that overwhelming feeling of immenseness and smallness.

Thanks to all the twinkling stars that wink at me from above when my stare is pinned to the ground, because you guys make me lift my chin and hope for a piece of eternity.





Oh, well. I need to clean stuff here and go home. =]

Viruses, wikipedia and geniuses

Once again, virus authors use wikipedia to spread malware.  Not the first time it happens, but I think it's worth mentioning.

I also found this article today: How to think like a genius.
I don't think I'll ever get to think like a genius, but I'd appreciate getting a little upgrade
