I try to be social, sometimes

About a year ago, I finally got around to creating a Facebook page for Stray Hawkeye, and proceeded to do absolutely nothing with it.

Now, a year later, I’m trying to make it useful.  Basically, I’m putting links to each new post on the wall.  This is not so much a desperate attempt to be liked (or so I’m telling myself) as it is that several of my friends and family who read the blog have noted that it’s sort of a pain to check the site for updates, especially when they can be a bit sporadic (like lately).

So, hopefully this will make it easier to keep up to date on when there are new posts here.  I think if you “like” the site on its Facebook page, new posts will show up in your news feed on Facebook.  Granted that may depend on your settings – and I’d try to tell you how to set up the proper settings, but it seems like all of the Facebook setting pages change about every month, so I’m not even going to try.  Good luck with that.

The Facebook page is located here if you’d care to like the site.

I also just made a Twitter page, which I plan to use for basically the same thing, for those of you who prefer Twitter to Facebook.  That one has the fairly predictable handle of @StrayHawkeye.  I’m completely new to this whole tweetmail thing, so Twitter pro’s please be gentle.  In my mind @ still denotes an array variable in perl, and # starts a single line comment in korn shell scripts.


Noise to Signal Cartoon Via Swiss Miss (sort of, but I’ll get to that in another post soon).

Oh yeah, just to round out the needy-ness – look, I made you a qr code:

For some reason, now my blog feels like the back of a bag of potato chips

Internet Commenter Business Meeting

What if the business world functioned the way internet comment sections do… (NSFW)

Honestly I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than the current state of things.

Random questions

  • How much of the universe can’t we see because things are in the way (ignoring gravitational lensing)? For instance, what is the volume of space that’s on the far side of Andromeda, that we can’t see because Andromeda is in the way? Or Dwingeloo 1 for that matter?
  • What percentage of single word search terms return a Wikipedia page as their first hit in a Google search?
  • Are there any single family homes (not towers, duplexes, or commercial buildings) on the island of Manhattan?
