A bit country

Update: There’s another great track from Angus and Julia Stone at Triple J, it’s at the same URL as the previous track, so if you missed that one I guess it’s too late. The new one’s also nice and relaxed, although a bit less country and a little more funky.

If you’re looking to relax, check out this tune by Angus and Julia Stone, grab it from Triple J.

It might be a bit country, but hey that’s cool these days, and boy is it nice and chill.

They’ve got a bunch of other free downloads too.

Sweet

If, like me, you’ve always found Gnuplot a total freakin’ pain in the you know where, then you need to grab quickplot. It probably can’t do all the fancy whatsits that Gnuplot can, but for basic stuff it’s a total no brainer and just works.

Quickplot

If you’re a Debianista or Ubunterian you should be able to just apt-get it.

Approximation, web style

I couldn’t help but laugh at this:

Web Results 1 – 10 of about 227,000 for #### sucks. (0.09 seconds)

I think that a quarter-of-a-million publicly expressed opinions can
be rounded up to “everybody”.

Thanks NASA ..

There’s some really great photos up at NASA’s image of the day. This one for example:


Cassini's view of Saturn’s icy moon Dione is enriched by the tranquil gold and blue hues of Saturn’s rings in the background. The thin, curving shadows of the C ring and part of the B ring adorn the northern latitudes visible here, a reminder of the rings' grandeur.

Don’t miss the archive either.
