Last Of The Summer Wine

By /
Early October as the autumnal machlud slowly pops himself off to bed after a day of forcing light through the high cloud.

Cheers Sun, you done good.
Sunset seen through a break in the trees. A soft light envelopes the view, hills in the distance, green playing fields and houses amongst the trees seen below. The sunlight picks out the autumnal leaves of trees and bushes in the foreground. Awww, it's all very lovely and peaceful.

Image
If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

7 Rules For Life From Einstein

Anyone who knows me knows that Albert Einstein is a hero of mine . Yes he had a great physics brain and, building upon the work before him and with help from his first wife , he changed everything we know and think about the universe. He also took the fame platform he was given and tried to make the world a better place for everyone else. And I do like these 7 "rules" that Ethan Seigel has gleaned from the way Einstein lived his life. I think I'm well on the way to putting them into action, need to think more about fascinating things. Rule #1: Expend your efforts on the things that matter. This is currently proving to be both very difficult and extremely easy. I'd say that things that matter do not have to entail $. Rule #2: Do things you love, even if you’re terrible at them. Oh god yes. I love singing, but think I'm awful at it and it's a nightmare for people to hear. I'm pretty bad at dancing as well and get very self conscious and embarrassed when I
