Today it starts, we’re moving to the bigger apartment. If we’re getting the keys to the new place.

Here’s something to check out while I’m gone.

My web will be disconnected the 1st and re-opened to the new place the 9th. Or it should be.

Cool way to make your own error messages in Windows 95/98 or XP style windows. Damn great idea.

Famous Unsolved Codes and Ciphers [ link ]

This is an unofficial list of well-known unsolved codes and ciphers. A couple of the better-known unsolved ancient historical scripts are also thrown in, since they tend to come up during any discussion of unsolved codes. There has also been an attempt to sort this list by “fame”, as defined by a loose formula involving the number of times that a particular cipher has been written about, and/or how many hits it pulls up on a moderately-sorted web search.

Finally a list of those! I’ve been trying to find these for ages. And now they are all listed in one place. Awesome.

Glyn Hughes’ Squashed Philosophers [ link ]

There is no taking-part in the ‘Great Debate’ of Western civilisation, the debate about who we are, how we should be governed, how we think and how we ought to behave, without some familiarity with the, remarkably few, thinkers in whose language and idiom the talk is conducted.

Unfortunately, life is rather short, the little storeroom of the brain doesn’t have extensible walls and the greatest of thinkers seem to also be among the worst, and the lengthiest, of writers. So, most knowledge of Plato or Hume or Aristotle tends to come second-hand, unfortunately too often through masters more filled with pompous pleasure in their own mastery of complexity than with knowledge of their subject. Which is a pity, because your Prince, whether they call themselves President or King or Prime Minister, has almost certainly read Machiavelli. Your therapist is steeped in Freud, your divines in Augustine. Lawmakers take their cues still from Paine, Rousseau and Hobbes. Science looks yet to Bacon, Copernicus and Darwin.

The books which defined the way The West thinks now. Condensed and abridged to keep the substance, the style and the quotes, but ditching all that irritating verbiage.
