Well, thus far we&#8217;ve had a commentary on getting the train from God&#8217;s Own County to the soft southern wilderness of London.<br \/>\nNext, after my tirade against <a href=\"http:\/\/network.nature.com\/people\/boboh\/blog\/2008\/11\/11\/meaningless-numbers\">meaningless numbers<\/a>, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.helsinki.fi\/egru-blog\/2008\/11\/14\/pwned\/\">someone else has a similar problem<\/a>, so I blogged about it on the EGRU blog.  Ignore what I wrote, the quotes are good enough.<br \/>\nThe cat theme comes courtesy of the new public information webpage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catswhothrowupgrass.com\/kill.php\">How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You<\/a>.  Of course, the sure sign is that they are still alive. After answering the quiz, I get this:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heyquiz.com\/quiz\/cat_kill\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heyquiz.com\/bimage\/14_89.jpg\" alt=\"Is your cat plotting to kill you?\" width=\"335\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/12499225@N02\/3029764624\/sizes\/m\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3278\/3029764624_21a75c5e74.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Just as soon as I work out how to open cans, you&#8217;re gone.<\/em><br \/>\nFinally (for the moment), Helsinki will be graced by the presence of <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/grrlscientist\/\">Grrlscientist<\/a> next week.  This seems like a good excuse to organise a meet-up with other NNers in Helsinki, as well as anyone else interested in <del>intelligent conversation<\/del> drinking beer.  Next Wednesday in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oluthuone.com\/kaisla_eng.html\">Kaisla<\/a> seems like a good option, but I&#8217;m open to other suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few things for a hard Friday afternoon&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occamstypewriter.org\/boboh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
