A great quote from HH if you will:

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Speaking of flickr, I have really enjoyed using the jUploadr tool for uploading pictures to the site. It works very well in version 0.7 in my Gentoo box and am looking eagerly forward to version 0.8 which should be out momentarily. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a better solutions than flickr provides.

I am going to try and make the random blog a little more intelligent and add another random site, so keep checking back, I have definitely learned some things from that.

This week looks to be an interesting mix of javascript AJAX, PHP, and hardware setup at work, it should be rather interesting.

With a contented mind we shall be happy even without wealth; but if we have a discontented mind we shall be unhappy no matter how rich we may become.
