Undecidable

me1: Is it undecidable?
me2: What? No.
me1: At least NP-hard?
me2: No!
me1: If it isn't undecidable or even NP-hard, why bother?
me2: The presentation is in 5 min and we need the results sorted NOW.

Prime Time

me2: You know, we know each other so much.
me1: Oh boy, where is this going?
me2: Actually we know everything about each other.
me1: I guess so.
me2: For example, you know when I lie.
me1: Ha ha... yeah. Hey, wait, that's is a lie!
me2: ...
me1: ...
me2: We have to be careful about them paradoxes.
me1: Something tells me this is going to be a recurring theme.

First Episode

me2: Dude, this is too expensive.
me1: Think of it as a celebration.
me2: A celebration for what?
me1: A celebration of not having anything to celebrate. Once you become rich and famous, you won't have quiet moments like this.
me2: ...

(cold air blows)

A New Series

me1: Which douche turned on the light?
me2: God.
me1: What?
me2: It's sunlight you idiot!
me1: I didn't know you believed in God.
me2: Whatever created the universe is the God for me. "He" could be a symmetry breaking event for all I know.
me1: I see

Status: Fugitive

Since the two readers of my blog are asking me to update it, here is another one. In keeping with the tradition, it also features random trivia.

Right now, in the open tabs of my browser, I have articles related to:

Keyboards
Typecasting
Videos of animals sleeping
Mobile typography
Frasier
Getting unstuck from writers block
Intellectual property
Language of rabbits
Literary programming
Battle of Evermore (by Led Zep) and its lyrics
And OCaml (a number of them devoted to this one)

It seems I've been doing some interesting stuff lately!

I was wondering about this problem a while ago: What is the most interesting thing that can be displayed in your status message (like the one in an instant messenger) but completely automatically? My first instinct was the number of windows open, processes, active window etc.

Better yet, how about something like "Browsing" or "Emailing" or "Chatting" or "Working" based on which application has recently taken most attention?

Or how about some keyboard shortcut to put the current URL (or text I selected) as the status?

Or (tangentially) how about changing the status message once a second with some messages like the marquee?

Or... I'm still thinking!

(Of course I understand the privacy issues and the abuse of the status message)
