Going Through Bookmarks

Well I lost my cellphone. I’m going to retrace my steps and try to find it. This sucks. I cleaned out my bookmark files on a couple different machines last night and there were a handful of interesting links I wanted to share.

- The first one is clok . This is a little java program that displays time visually. It’s like a timeline of a day, color indicates what section of the day there is. Black is normal sleeping time, dark blue is free time, blue is work time, and light blue is midday/lunch. The idea is that you can get a feel for whether you have time to complete a task and it works especially well when several instances are run to compare yourself with co-workers or friends in different time zones.

- Next is Worm Virus Count . This is a apache log parser that give tells you how many times internet worms have hit your system. You can see an example here . Luckily I havn’t been online long enough to get slammed.

- Buddahbrot is an interesting variation on the mandlebrot set. It’s almost breathtaking and is a good example of math as art.

- Finally a little commentary on what makes a good manager. I think this is just about dead on. It was the style I tried to use working as the editor of the integrator and president of my fraternity. Albiet a far cry from work management but the style does have some crossover ability.

I guess that’s it. I hope I find my frigging phone.
