Well well well. This is one of the Terms of service that has passed under my radar. In the last couple of days, I noticed that my SkypeOut balance had dropped to 0.00. After a quick google, I discovered that it was happening to a number of people. Apart from the already galling fact that credit actually can expire from your account, the point that rankles the most is the lack of any warning

This is a test!

Stephenson's Metaverse coming shortly to a device near you: Croquet is a combination of computer software and network architecture that supports deep collaboration and resource sharing among large numbers of users within the context of a large-scale distributed information system. Along with its ability to deliver compelling 3D visualization and simulations, the Croquet system's components are

We do truthout for three reasons: Far too often, the mainstream television news media act as little more than commercial advertisers for their parent companies. This is not journalism, and we desperately need journalism in this day and age. We also do truthout because the mainstream print media, while retaining great credibility, requires an enormous amount of time to sift through properly. Our

No, not a new Shaolin Soccer targetting runners, but something far more bizarre: The monks, known as Kaihigyo, are spiritual athletes from the Tendai Sect of Buddhism, based at Mount Hiei, which overlooks the ancient capital city of Kyoto. snip The final two years of the 1000-day challenge are even more daunting. In the sixth year they run 60km each day for 100 consecutive days and in the

Been a little slack in regular updating, so here's a "compilation" entry Day 4: (week 2, Tue) 10 x (200m in 58 secs + 200m recuperation trot) These "fractions" (AKA Fartleks) are always the first session of the week, and I'm happy to get them out of the way for the week. They're over quickly, but Day 5: (week 2, Thur) 2 x (3000m in 17 mins + 1200m recuperation trot) followed by 1000m in between

Continued roadrace training coverage... Day 3: (week 1 - Sun) 4km @ 8km/hr + additional 30 mins at increasing pace to finish at 11km/hr Surprisingly, though the guts of 10km, this was not as difficult for me as the 5km two days previous. Could this be progress already??

I've signed up for the Paris 20km road race (20km de Paris) and as I write this, there's a little over 36 days left until the starting gun. I went for a couple of ice-breaker jogs (30mins - very easy going) last week, but last Wednesday was the first day of the training program. I'm going to document my progress here over the coming weeks. The program (actually intended for a semi-marathon, but

From the guardian.co.uk: Police in Paris have discovered a fully equipped cinema-cum-restaurant in a large and previously uncharted cavern underneath the capital's chic 16th arrondissement. Patrick Alk, a photographer who has published a book on the urban underground exploration movement and claims to be close to the group, told RTL radio the cavern's discovery was "a shame, but not the end of
