Programmatic representation of the Brilliant movie: INCEPTION by the Genius Director THY name is Christopher Nolan!

My tribute to Nolan in “C” Language and a bit of assembly (x86) as the inception is done using x86 code morphing so that Fischer wakes up thinking that the thought was originated from his mind. Running the program would unravel the entire sequence in the movie. Reading the code would explain the movie Programmatically.

In order to compile the code, just type: “make” And run the code by typing: “./inception” , to see the sequencing in the movie and have the code exit with Fischers Inception thought planted by the Inception team!

European Union gives thumbs up to videogaming for kids

Following are some choice quotes that you probably wouldn’t hear in
the US Congress, where videogames are often a convenient whipping boy to
curry favor with soccer moms.

According to the European Union’s parliament: “Video games can stimulate learning of facts and skills such as strategic thinking, creativity, cooperation and innovative thinking, which are important skills in the information society.” (Hat tip to e-mint post)

Travelscope tales

Posted on by

You understand why people get snobby about coach holidays when it all goes horribly wrong. By that I mean on our holiday, having changed the destination pick-up point from Stratford to Dover we thought we were being oh so clever (boarding the bus at 7-something in the morning rather than 3-something). But we failed to take account of the Travelscope factor – the bus (no.13, I kid you not) failed to pick us and another couple up. So two hours later, after plenty of assurances from Travelscope reps at the Dover pick up, and then much scratching of heads, they realised oops, he’s gone without you!

Luckily, the Travelscope factor kicked in and we were sent by taxi to meet up with another coach which itself was late because it had been sent to the wrong pick-up for another set of pasengers. (So we got to travel to France by tunnel rather than ferry); and ended up first in Amsterdam rather than Utrecht. But eventually we got there.

So nice holiday, coach driver turns out to be a nice guy as I said with his knowledge of Ypes, the WW1 battlefield, and the fact that the town of Ypes was entirely rebuilt with Gernam reparations money.

So we changed drivers back in England, we drove back to Stratford to be dropped off, and just as I was advising our taxi where to meet us the coach driver admitted – he didn’t know Stratford – and had to be guided by the passengers!

Note: a letter to Travelscope is in the post..
