New Stuff™ - my favourite kind of stuff! The first being this crazy image you see on the right. Feel free to click it, and you shall see it all big and such...
Sadly, I can claim no credit for the technique. I got it from this Photojojo tutorial, I really just supplied my own panorama. It's a pity the middle bit looks kinda weird, but I don't think there's much I can do about that easily.
I also made a silly stop-motion thingie of my hair. It is a bit weird.
If you're feeling bored, you should check out my low-volume shared items stream. When I see a cool post in any of my RSS feeds, I just press a button and it goes there. How magical! I recommend you use the RSS feed though, as the HTML version tends to crop the images a bit.
According to a friend, "Currying is a tad pretentious". I find that thought amusing. If you don't know what currying is, never mind. It's really not worth it for the sake of that comment ;)

WOo! I am a friend!
Currying is a tad pretentious because the language implementor has to go to so unbelievably much trouble to make it work, and the compiled program is so unbelievably much more complex, just for the sake of a programmer going "woo... I can pay a function half its arguments now, and half later!"
Having said that, the language I am designing will have full support for currying, because I want my programmers to feel good about themselves :)
Gnarly hair......
I like that animated gif, only because I've been trying to figure out what you're saying in it (if you are) for the past 5 minutes.
O_o
Heh, afraid not. It was suposed to look like I was surprised because my hair exploded a bit. It may not have worked accordingly ;)
And matt - sometimes you just don't know the rest of the arguments... Or else you're lazy and want to extensively re-use high level constructs for the sake of not re-inventing the wheel.
Particularly when the wheel in question is an unwieldy Prolog tail-recursion wheel.
Ugh, Prolog wheels are square!
"sometimes you just don't know the rest of the arguments..."
Then you should STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE DEBATE!
Wait... what?
Er, yeah, and sometimes you're lazy and you want to pay the nanny to raise the kids. That's fine, but it doesn't make you not-pretentious!
I ain't saying currying is bad!
That's what I realised. :P
Hey hey, all the best for the exams tomorrow ;)
