38

June 13, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized 11 Comments

So it says here that 38 is, among other things notable because:

38! – 1 yields 523022617466601111760007224100074291199999999, which is a factorial prime.

There is no answer to the equation φ(x) = 38, making 38 a nontotient.

38 is the sum of the squares of the first three primes.

37 and 38 are the first pair of consecutive positive integers not divisible by any of their digits.

38 is the largest even number which cannot be written as the sum of two odd composite numbers.

Also, it’s the number of games played by each team in the English Premiership, the atomic number of strontium and the number of slots on an American roulette wheel.

And it’s also the age I turned today. Yay! Cake for me!

I get to work in some nice places!

Blogging live from an Open Space at the University of British Columbia.   It’s a beautiful day here on Point Grey in Vancouver and most of the groups are working outside.   With a garden and a view like that, who could blame them?

More photos here.

Hang time

That’s Hang (pronounced “hung”), a beautiful contemporary steel hand drum. I played one last summer and they are gorgeous. Today, thanks to a great post at the Soundroots blog I discovered some great recordings of the hang, including some beauties from Alan Tower. Enjoy!

Can connect to the net but can’t view webpages

June 10, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized

I’m no expert but I spent much of yesterday trying to fix my new Dell laptop’s connection to the web.   I was getting a wireless connection but was totally unable to view web pages.   With linksys support on the router I deleved around in the guts of the machine but we couldn’t fix it.   They did help me get a gateway IP again, which seemed to be one problem.

Searching the Dell forums for help I discovered WinSock XP Fix and ran it.   The problem was immediately resolved.

Dells aside (I have never set up a computer by wiping more software than I installed!) this vexing problem seems to be common, and the ease and speed with with Winsock XP fix worked was impressive, so here’s a note here.

It’s funny how this site gets noticed…

June 8, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized

Parking Lot…ranked above the fold on Google for:

  • beatitudes and commandments
  • starbucks customer relations
  • Examples of Great Websites
  • appreciative inquiry experiences
  • fido
  • fido prepaid phone cards

…and that’s just from today.   Interesting thing is that the posts on fido and Starbucks were both highly critical of their customer service.   In the case of the last link, I actually rank number one, obviously higher that fido’s own website.

This blogging thing…it works?
