The first thing that you’l need to do is download and install the UltraVNC application for the computer that you want people to be connecting to.  It is available on the UltraVNC site.  Look for a link "stable version" or similar.  The file that I downloaded was UltraVNC-100-RC18-Setup.zip.

Sent to me by Duncan:

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named "Bushcronium."

Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an Atomic mass of 311. These 311 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Bushcronium has no electrons, it is inert. → Continue reading “New element found – Bushcronium”

This is one of the funniest forwarded around e-mails that I’ve ever seen.

Enjoy!  🙂

Visitor from up North

“Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off.

The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s
table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two
judges (Native Texans) that the chili → Continue reading “Chili Cook Off”

Social responsibility above the level of family, or at most of tribe, requires imagination – devotion, loyalty, all the higher virtues – which a man must develop himself; if he has them forced down him, he will vomit them out.

An interesting quote from "Starship Troopers", Robert A. Heinlein 1959.  The movie that came out in 1997 seems to have very little in common with the book; an excellent discussion of the true meaning of citizenship and the scarcity of honor and self-sacrifice among the human race.

Click the "READ MORE" link for more information and links about this book.

An exellent website that discusses the book and the 1997 movie (of the same name but with very little else → Continue reading “Social responsibility above the level of family, or at most of tribe, requires imagination – devotion, loyalty, all the higher virtues – which a man must develop himself; if he has them forced down him, he will vomit them out.”

Posted on by rchapin

A very interesting article that came in today’s digest from the http://paleofood.com listserve about the benefit of eating bananas.
Bananas: Containing three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.

No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the only way a banana can → Continue reading “Bananas: Good for what ails you …”
