title: Update of Death
---
<p>
I was going to procastinate for another week or so, but <a href='http://galeon.sf.net/'>Galeon</a> is using an obscene amount of RAM, running slow, and generally making web browsing an unpleasant experience. See, when I stumble across links I'm interested in, I usually just keep a tab open until I either bookmark it (effectively losing the URL forever) or add it to my page so other people can appreciate it. So, when I don't update my page for a while, I end up with a web browser that has 50 tabs open, eats 140 megs of RAM and takes 5 seconds to open an empty tab. Enough of the rant; on to the fun stuff.
</p>
<p><a href='http://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c005.html'>Here's</a>
a funny article from a "Creationist", attempting to bend what the big
bang to fit with some wacky ideas they got from a book. <a
href='http://community-2.webtv.net/@HH!63!85!DF300BB11C29/jamie863/womenincar/'>Here's</a>
the least comfortable seat I've ever seen in a truck (although it
appears to have more room in the dashboard than <a

<a
href='http://democracymeansyou.com/satire/spin-generator.htm'>Here's</a>
a really useful REpublican Speechmaking page. <a
href='http://maddox.xmission.com/'>Here</a> is the best page in the
universe. For the computer geeks, <a
href='http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/'>this page</a> has stats on
virtually every IRC network out there, <a
href='http://packetstormsecurity.nl/groups/horizon/stack.txt'>this
page</a> has more information than you could possibly ever want about
bypassing a non-executable stack (a new feature in <a
href='http://www.openbsd.org/'>OpenBSD</a>), and <a
href='http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/time-travel-phys/'>this page</a>
talks about time travel, paradoxes, and other cool physics stuff. <a
href='http://sequence.rutgers.edu/sequitur/'>Sequitur</a> is a really
cool text analysis engine. EPIC dissected the good old Patriot Act; you
can read their analysis <a

cool article (linked from <a

optimizations performed by Intel's compiler. <a
href='http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/q12001/articles/art_6.htm'>Here</a>
is an interesting article on Intel's site which expands on the
information presented in the article. Everyone should check out the <a

it's pretty well done. <a

is an article by Seanbaby, and <a

Oh yeah, I almost forgot my list of inflammatory political articles. To keep things interesting, I've organized this list into convenient groups, so you know what you're getting yourself into.

</li>
<li><a href='http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0212/pt_intro.html'>How I spent my summer vacation.</a>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I finally added some new stuff to my sidebar! <a href='/software/ft2-ruby'>FreeType2-Ruby</a> is out (sorta), and so is <a href='/software/mb-ruby'>MusicBrainz-Ruby</a>. The former is alpha (eg, it will crash), and the latter should be stable (eg, it will crash, but I won't be able to figure out why).
