machine intellect just comes out of little gears whirring these last year

Brass engines conspire, over tricking minutes, since the sixties.

To make their own hello world application.

On the fucking road again

Looking forward to

Listening to the shipping forecast on radio 4 at one or more past midnight.

The idea that there is an orange glow of sodium bulb out there in a little cabin, held up in surrounding boat, in the black heaving water. The sky battened down with magnitude clouds piled up into the dark (somewhere there's a bone white moon shining nastily).

But also that, in this focus storm, there's a chap boiling a kettle for a cup of tea, in the middle of this roiling storm. And only a little pissed off. Because the waves crashing on the deck upset the kettle.

Dictionary of words that don't describe themselves:heterologous. For all words that do: homologous. Which dictionary is heterologous in?

I belong to the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. I maybe lonely, can't decide.

Clearly I am maths geek

Diskgrinder's conjecture #2: there's a number big enough to encode every decision you'll ever make. Add that to your friend's big number

Platonic solids, similar to Socratic motions. Both stinky

Turing's halting issue was basically not having a pencil to wind the tape back into the cassette

Diskgrinder's conjecture: every prime number, more than two, sits in the middle of the sum of two powers Fermat thinks don't add up

Also _two_ primes? Like two is an even number, surely that's cheating Mr. Goldbach Conjecture?

It's a proof by induction: even numbers are the sum of 2 primes; every unicorn I ask says so; including the first one.

That was easy because Goldbach's conjecture is a degenerate case of Fermat, if you factor in unicorns

Yep, every even number is the sum of two primes. I have this really nifty proof that doesn't fit in a 140 characters

I just solved Fermat's last theorem. I used the Fibonacci sequence, and the squeeze method between consecutive powers. Top! Now for Goldbach

And in other news, unicorns spent spent all last night dancing with care bears
As it walks there's a cold slap, one two, left then right, but dragging one behind, as that one leaks
Headlights sweep by, lighting up the gravel and weeds, and occasionally catching sparks in the tiny black eyes in its round white head.
It got to the road, but leaving bloody bits of it behind. Its teeth, its eyes, glinting. I think it's smiling

Haven't been here much over the lately

No and multiple apologies thereof. I have been spending my creative seed on the Twitter stony ground, wherein I have variously sworn, and sworn off my little ability to create microfiction.

Also, typealysed my blog. Apparently I am a "fun doer". Fucking humbug.

Well I can't be unhappier

So how about I fuck that up too?

All I can think is that it would be different flavour.

No real choice, then.

Keep on keeping on, until stops.

Then do something else, equally shite.

Hey, I did fuck all

Accused of being a thing, I then rebound, and so on.

Enough

Got told that three years ago

Kept on hanging on

Because I thought the five year plan would out

It's three years, and I can't wait

See you, miss you, bye

I'm gone

That's enough

You told me so

Every situation is a puzzle to be solved

If you're analytic in your nature.

If, however, you are a magical thinker, every situation is one to be ignored, and your subconscious will intuit the best way to behave.

Clearly that's baldercrap - you abrogate your responsibility, and decide with your deep-time lizard brain, an almond shaped atrophied throwback to our species' billion year back story.

Fucking hippy. Think with the lights in your fore-brain, not the soma filter motor neuron. That's a knee-jerk reaction, literally.

That's it, that's what it's all about

My boy.
