Star Wars Episode 7 2015

First off a figure. This is my 400th blog post! Wow...

Ok... lets get some basic math out of the way here...

This is like the 7th of November... so there are 23 days left in November... there are 31 days in December...   so that is so far 54 days. Now we are into 2013 and 2014...  those 2 years is (365 * 2).... finally Star Wars Episode 7 will be out in 2015, and it being a block buster that will make it June... so lets say around half a year into 2015 so that's (365 / 2).

A New (New) Hope....

Now what are we looking at....

54 days  + (365 * 2) + (365 / 2)

or

54 + 730 + 183 = 967....

That's all... I thought that there would never be a new Star Wars film and now I find out that there will be one in a mere 967 days!!!!

Oh freakin yeah....

May the force be with you...

Now, one of the best games ever in my personal opinion is Half Life... it is still a brilliant game today if you played it on Steam but lets face it the graphics look a bit dated at this stage... soooooo.... the group of modders have remade the game and it should be out on September 14th (this year - that has to be added because I was actually waiting for the game for 5 years so far!). Look out for "Black Mesa", thats the name the brand spanking new beautifully new voice acted, new graphicsed up game.

The risk of sorrow.

I realized today that sorrow is something very particular to me. I am not sorry if I stub my toe... I am angry. I am not sorry if I quit my job and tell my lame ass boss to stick it up his ass... I am vengefull. I am not sorry if I get caught by the Gardaí with no tax, NCT or working lights at night time... I am thinking kicking myself that I did not fix my car up sooner.

But when I hurt someone I care about or when some I care about has left me...

then...

I am sorry.

Sorry I did not spend more time with them. Sorry if I screamed at them because I really just wanted to hold them and show them I care. And then there is the greatest sorrow of all. When someone passes away, dies. And you know that you will never again get to speak to that person again...

Sorrow I think is a result of having enjoyed something or someone. A result of loving their company or loving them. With true joy comes the risk of true sorrow. Or is it that where there is no risk that there is no happiness or sadness?

The more you give yourself over to something the more you risk loosing. But boy is the risk worth taking.

Information for everyone?

I just had a moment of clarity whilst making tea for myself.. not regarding tea. It was about something else.

Information.

Some information is for the public and some information is not for the public. I have alot more to say on this but the subject is such a pain in the ass one I would simply rather not, I have written and deleted a few drafts at this point but I deleted them....

*sigh*

Atlas - We are all just floating in space...

Did you ever stop to think for a second about our situation... we are on a rock - floating through space. Sure the rock is big, we find it quite big indeed. But ultimately we are just bags of mostly water on a rock orbiting a nuclear explosion... and us, the exploding sun and a few other planets are just flying through space. We do not know where we are going... we do not know where we came from... unless you agree with the scientific belief that we know where the centre of the universe is using Dopler shift to pinpoint back to where we are flying from. I agree with that belief... or rather, I believe in it.

But ultimately our planet is like a lost child wandering aimlessly forever through freezing cold space.... I like this video because it remind me that we have a choice. We can sit in our offices, working for the man, again pointlessly, aimlessly... or you can party hard - work too of course, but also enjoy life.  

The Higgs Boson

Is there any better news in the world than that news of the Higgs Boson yesterday. If you do not know what the Higgs Boson is then you will not learn about it here from me, what with the fact that I am not a nuclear physicist.. also if you do not know about it, then really you do not need to know, if you were interested then you would already know about it by now.

This picture explains how the Higgs Boson helps in propelling galaxies around the universe...  somehow...

But to me, as a pantheist, this is the greatest news I could hear. It further confirms the "standard model" in physics. The standard model is basically a mathematical understanding of the universe. Finding the Higgs Boson help to validate that the standard model is basically correct.

Again, as a pantheist, a validated standard model is an approved mathematical equation of my understanding of god. That is why I love science, that is why I love the "discovery" and that is why I love my god.

Can you explain your God in mathematical theory? Do you want to?

Common Password List..

You know if someone wants to break into your account they can use a program that can guess your username and password. If they already know your username that is half the battle. For example, nearly every company will have an email address with admin@example.com. Now it is just a matter of guessing the password. Programs can look to a password list.. try admin@example.com as the username and try a password... if someone want to break into your account... the definitely will. Make no mistake about that one. 


But my point... here is what a list of common passwords. It would be interesting to see if you have a password that you use regularly is on this list!
