Adding this to my list of things to do "one Easter". This year's Easter list has already been curtailed due to me coming down with the ear infection from hell.

I didn't know that Angostura bitters were a cure for sea sickness. Next time I need to take a cross channel ferry I'll be at the bar with a pink gin. No idea how I'll drive at the end of the crossing but hey...

→ Scott and Scurvy

In delicious on September 18, 2011 Tagged: , , ,

Totally fascinating article about how we knew the cure to scurvy from at least the 15th century, but how circumstances conspired such that we couldn't get it to work in the early 20th century. Good look at how and why science is hard.

Great chart showing the words people of different ages & sexes use to describe themselves on last.fm. The “about me” on my last.fm profile is blank… 

I officially have no clue what any of the teenagers are talking about. No surprise really.

More details (and indeed more charts) on the last.fm blog.

BBC News - Tech Know: BBC Micros used in retro programming class

“Unforgiving interface”?! Acorn DFS. That’s the disk file system version, cassette tape was unforgiving! 

I love the clip from Micro Live - I remember the show all too well, I’d love the BBC put more of it up on iPlayer.
