Ooo! Cheap duds!: Joe Mamma is currently selling some really nice snowboarding jackets for 50%-75% off. And if you have a wee little skull (unlike me, dear reader), you can also get some pretty slick helmets for redonkulous prices. (3)
My first Wikipedia article: Being a weenie, I created a Wikipedia page for Richard Colvin, the gent at the centre of Canada’s detainee abuse scandal. Take a look at the initial batch of released memos written by Richard Colvin. SPOILER ALERT: nothing conclusive. (0)
HTTP++: Google has announced an experimental alternative to HTTP: SPDY. It’s a datagram-oriented protocol that multiplexes streams across a single TCP connection to minimize latency. The initial explanation sounds pretty neat. (0)
New OC Transpo Website: It looks like OC Transpo is rolling out a new website on November 12. You can get a sneak preview at www.octranspo1.com. The content is pretty much the same, but it’s all web 2.0-y. They seem to have replaced the clunky old travel planner with an all-in-one thing. (1)
Ouch. Data entry errors hurt: US courts have a spread sheet that they use to ensure that sentencing is fair. The prosecutors fill in a few fields and the spread sheet spits out a suggested sentence. But apparently there are data entry errors in about 10% of cases – simple stuff, like addition errors, or filling in the wrong field. The defense lawyers didn’t catch the mistakes, which resulted in variances of up to months in the final sentence. Oops. (0)
