A Letter to Vice-Chancellor Johnson - The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist
http://heeris.id.au/2015/letter-to-vice-chancellor
The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! A Letter to Vice-Chancellor Johnson. Sun 3 May 2015. Last week I sent a letter to Prof. Paul Johnson. Vice-Chancellor of the University of Western Australia (the school what I went to). The letter concerned his recent decision to circumvent the usual decision making processes and just throw university resources. At a “consensus centre”. Set up for professional climate-change-water-muddier Dr Bjorn Lomborg at the bequest of our current government.

Rubbish Review Debut: The Noontec N5 NAS - The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist
http://heeris.id.au/2015/n5-review
The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! Rubbish Review Debut: The Noontec N5 NAS. Sun 19 Jul 2015. I recently became the proud owner of a Noontec N5 network attached storage (NAS) enclosure. I bought it because I needed:. Network access to the contents of a large hard drive. USB access to the contents of a large hard drive. The cockroaches could not be removed. It’d probably void the warranty anyway. And eventually even Wireshark. The N5 boasts USB 2.0 access, which is great for me bec...

Qanda's Razor - The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist
http://heeris.id.au/2015/the-qanda-effect
The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! Sat 13 Jun 2015. You come out of the event, ready to say this, but. Tells you first: “that was really one sided. They really set up my side to fail.”. Is it necessarily the case that one of you is right about the debate having an agenda, and one of you is wrong? Well, maybe, sometimes. But I think we often leap to this conclusion far more often than it actually applies. I think what’s also likely is something I call. Exactly the same problem. But as ...

The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! A Hybrid Kali/Debian Wheezy Live Distro. There are two things that I particularly love doing: security auditing, and tinkering with live distributions. It is very intriguing to see exactly how weak or strong your own electronic devices are against various attacks, and sometimes very contrary to expectations. Without the USB: it’s my old laptop again! This gets even better if you’re dealing with embedded systems, systems with no permanent storage, etc.

The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! Wed 1 Oct 2003. We must galvanise, and exercise our creative abilites to conceive a viable, practical solution: this fiery behemoth that dominates our solar system must be extinguished. The Sun - a sinister and destructive force. Image from SOHO website. The Sun is a star located at the centre of our solar system. It is classified as a G2 star, has a mass of about 2×10. From naturally occuring Thoron (actually an isotope of Radon -. Rn) and Radon (.

If Programming Languages Were Harry Potter Characters - The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist
http://heeris.id.au/2014/if-programming-languages-were-harry-potter-characters
The Slightly Disgruntled Scientist. Now 7% more viral! If Programming Languages Were Harry Potter Characters. Sun 15 Jun 2014. Let’s start off easy shall we? Everyone’s been saying that C has been dead for… well, more than a decade. Some laugh at it. Others mutter darkly about living in fear of the infamous. Undefined behaviour. Sure, there remain loyal followers, and scattered cults here and there. But almost everyone who still sees the Sun will happily claim that it’s a dead language. C cannot be killed.
