FOSS Recommendations: GNU PSPP →
A fully open source and free version of the statistical analysis software SPSS.
This is also my g’night post. I choose this because I’m leaving my happy new MacBook on and running all night because it is still compiling this bad-boy from the MacPorts software repository. (Well, this and all of its dependencies.)

Groklaw - 10th Circuit Affirms in All Respects -... →
Please let this mean that SCO will go away and never return to bother the *NIX community again. Novell probably should never have had to fight this suit, but I’m glad that the US Appeals Court has confirmed the rulings against SCO. Click through to get a link to read all the rulings in the case, and HT Slashdot for the link.
In case you don’t know, SCO stopped being a technology...

Will the Space Station be Abandoned? : Discovery... →
Oh. No. Nononononono. This is not good. While it’s true that Atlantis’ last flight actually overstocked the ISS, the loss of the unmanned supply vehicle from the Russian space agency has set in motion a series of events that could leave the ISS abandoned for at least a little while.
The rocket problems on the Soyuz-U booster that caused the crash could also cause problems on the...

An adventure in quitting →
At some point, this post will disappear into the private post bin, but I want to recruit support for this effort of quitting smoking that I’ve embarked upon. We were supposed to do it between our birthdays, but that didn’t quite work out. I love you all and you’re very supportive here on my blog. So, if you’re feeling up to it, help me - and probably end up helping FS, too...

Gender presentation and the tramp stamp...
soph101601 replied to your post: Hrm…interesting.
yes, that’s most probably why :) not a bad thing, at all. I dont know about you, but sometimes I really enjoy it when people get my gender wrong.
Heh, I’ve always enjoyed it when people would get it wrong only seeing me from behind. The reaction to the facial hair is priceless. findingsherlock replied to your post:...

you seemed to be concerned with people/relationships, which I see as a AFAB trait (not a feminine trait though, it’s an odd system in my head) and the tattoo in your propic struck me as a “tramp stamp”. You’re kick ass either way
Ah, the relationship thing. Yes, I’m aware that, in general, FAAB’s are socially...

Dear Tiberius and Gale,
Please stop trying to make my brain go into some kind of sexual melt-down.
But don’t really because I love it all, but it’s going to break me, so maybe I should…

Love,

I hope you weren’t counting on supersymmetry to be the GUT, because it seems to keep getting shot down by experimental evidence from the LHC.

jimmybramlett replied to your video: Babylon Zoo - Spaceman (by BabylonZooVEVO) …
What’s weird is seeing interviews of him recently. He talks about his regrets from the Babylon Zoo days. Crazy.
…does his recent talkativity have to do with why the music video on VEVO for Spaceman is copyright 2011? Is there some sort of retrospective thing going to go on?

Eeeee, sweater song! You can’t sing this, you have to yell it in an almost-monotone. Because that’s the way it’s done. IF YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY SWEATERRRRRR!!!!!
It’t true. PULL THIS THREAD AS I WALK AWAY. (AS I WALK AWAY!)
You also have to shout the backing vocals. It’s required.

Ever heard “The Devil’s Song”? It’s the only other Marcy Playground song I know, and it’s pretty dang good, too.
I shall add it to my playlist at some point.
