I _Really_ Don't Know

Rhys decided (probably for no other reason than to fill a slot on his blog) to write answers to frequently asked questions - but without the questions. Check it out, Rhys has a great, surreal sense-of-humour.

• ugh, going home. have written nice tree walking code today [#](http://twitter.com/mmmmmrob/statuses/926132767)

XKCD is almost always brilliant. Today though struck a chord with me. Lots of people don't get my sense-of-humour and it gets me into trouble relatively often. Usually because it's destructive, derisive, insulting or disruptive. Anyhows... this is exactly what I have to stop myself from doing every time I see a staple gun.

I'm part way through uploading a substantial backlog of photos (11,000+) to Flickr.

I had started out trying to go through them and decide which were worth uploading and which weren't, but that approach was taking far too much time. I needed some help. So I decided that I'd upload all of them and open them up to my family to help with the sorting - asking them to tag the photos with the people in them and also use tags like "TODELETE" to mark those that are just noise and should be thrown out.

• @[danja](http://twitter.com/danja) at least the view is good? [in reply to danja](http://twitter.com/danja/statuses/914917534) [#](http://twitter.com/mmmmmrob/statuses/914947297)

• ugh, lots of rain. Worked out yesterday that my generic cacheing strategy wasn't as generic as I first thought :-( [#](http://twitter.com/mmmmmrob/statuses/914826892)

Cory Doctorow asked Bruce Schneier to give him a hand designing wedding rings. Not an obvious combination until you realise these are crypto rings...

There are two great discussions going on over at both blogs. Cory has asked his crowd to help design a cipher for his crypto wedding rings. While Bruce simply said Contest: Cory Doctorow's Cipher Wheel Rings.
