Why, implement cowsay in a PHP-emulated CLI environment! Yes,  I am a geek with no life. Small glitch with the script: it can’t handle spaces (has to do with the way it interprets the input), so if you want to write a sentence, use_underscores.

Keep in mind the source when watching this. It’s pretty well known that tuition fees have increased far beyond inflation. Was post-secondary education simply just too cheap in the eighties? Is there more to this? Or is it a question of the Ontarian government going the wrong direction? In any case, it has some pretty damning footage of Dalton McGuinty.

How do you kill a blog you love? By forcing it’s owner to hire an attorney, because you decided to sue someone who posted a comment for slander. That’s pretty much what’s happening here, with the popular blog ShoeMoney.

My victim this last Wednesday was recording a TWAT Episode on GIS & Remote Sensing. It’s basically a quick fifteen minute introduction to the world of Geographic Information Systems and satellite data. You can preview the show here. It should officially be released over the next month or so.

TWAT is, according to the website:

T.W.A.T. is a hardcore tech daily internet radio show that has multiple hosts, guest, and topics. There are 1000’s of internet radio shows that talk about what the hosts had for breakfast. This one is going to be HARDCORE TECH. The mortals wont understand it, but then again, it isn’t for them, its for us. The shows only have to be five minutes long, but the hosts are welcome and encouraged to go over that limit.
