The interesting bits of today…

Just to entertain until tomorrow… when the real entertainment comes to the masses (see this link on the 12Sep07 )… i’ll leave some links:

• Stephen Hawking on Simpsons
• Bill Nye vs MIT atmospheric physicist on Larry King
• Icy calculations on a hot topic

Enjoy!

This week in the arXivs…

Yet again: My apologies…

Folks,

I apologize for causing yet more trouble… but it’s been some time now that i’ve been having some trouble with my local installation of WordPress, and all of the tricks i tried to fix it seemed to have little impact: the plugin i used to fix this situation, apparently, does not get along very well with the theme i had chosen… so things just spiraled from there.

Long story short, i decided to move to a more Web2.0 solution and use WordPress.com [as a managed solution] for hosting my blog. I’m still getting acquainted with this new environment and figuring some things out… but i hope this is it: No more moving my blog around!

I have many posts… from 2003 on that i want to bring forward to this new plataform… but i guess this will have to wait a bit until i can cook up some script to convert things around (the export facility on my installation of WordPress has also been a bit moody lately).

Anyway, i really apologize for the trouble, but i hope it won’t [ever] happen again — i appreciate your patience. As always, please, leave me a note if you see something wrong or that can be improved.

Thanks and enjoy! []’s!
