No article for tonight. The picture above can explain why (click for larger image).
Continuous Learning
Out of the many articles and blog posts I’ve read in 2008, none have been more moving as Jurgen Appelo’s (the SE list guy) Professionalism = Knowledge First, Experience Last.
Do you trust a doctor with diagnosing your mental problems if the doctor tells you he’s got 20 years of experience? Do you still trust that doctor when he picks up a knife and ice picks, and asks you to prepare for a lobotomy?
The article is quite direct when bringing its points forward. I would suggest you read not only the article, but also the rebuttals targeting the weaknesses of his arguments.

Convenient Explanations
All this useless drivel fed to us by the mass media reminds me of the first part of The Halo Effect.
Kicking HFCS
Kicking bad habits are an essential part of every fitness regimen. Most of the time, these habits are the ones which caused you to be out of shape in the first place.
But what if you don’t have a bad habit like habitual drinking or smoking?
Try cutting refined sugar from your diet.
From your D-colon reactions, I can see that this is an impossible task for most of you. But have you checked how many (empty) calories you’re getting from sweetened drinks and processed food with refined sugar or HFCS?
You might be surprised how easy it is to shave hundreds of calories off your daily intake with just this mindset.

Apologies for the short post. Spent the entire day enduring a bad migraine attack.
Bricked Router Cheat Post
Spent most of the day trying to overwrite the Telefonica firmware in the router I bought last Sunday. In the end, I bricked the device. D:
It’s cheap so it’s no big deal. Maybe later I’d build a USB to JTAG cable and try to unbrick it.
Anyway, I was supposed to write about the steps for overwriting the firmware (effectively turning an P880 router into a 3k modem/router) in this post but since I didn’t get to finish the whole thing, I’m going to have to cheat.
