you probably have no idea how many times i've beaten my head against a
wall because i didn't have something like this… why isn't an easy way to view and compare the size of folders built into the operating system?

thought for the day
All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that he parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, ifyou can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.

Core Wars
i just found out about this today, and i’m absolutely fascinated by it. i’m especially amazed by this article that i read some of the AI experiements using it. i’ve been mentally working on a mars simulator in ruby, so i’ll keep you posted if i come up with anything interesting. Mutations, parasites, programming.. what could be more fun?

Cryptonomicon
I’ve been reading this book for a little bit now ( ~100 pages) and wanted to recommend it to other fellow nerds. If you are a non-nerd, it does have math and unix references, but it’s not anything a trip to wikipedia can’t help. It could just be that i’m a sucker for books that have Alan Turing as a character, but make sure to check it out.
