Newfangled technology
This new wireless keyboard and mouse set is a pain to use. The mouse has a mind of its own. Plus, it poops.
I’ll take that number
We were playing with Microsoft’s newly released Face detection API’s through a webpage called http://how-old.net. This page lets users upload a picture and have the API predict the age and gender of any faces recognized in that picture. We sent email to a group of several hundred people asking them to try the page for a few minutes and give us feedback – optimistically hoping that at least 50 people would give it a shot. We monitored our real time analytics dashboard to track usage and, within a few minutes, the number of people using the site vastly exceeded the number of people we had sent our email to. We watched the usage quickly spread across continents, and, 3 hours later, we had 210,000 faces from all over the world.

Why is this useful, you may ask? Well, first off, I still need to deal with a non-insignificant amount of snail mail and my handwriting sucks. Also, it’ll be very useful in an upcoming repetitive task in the near future. Plus, you know, moomins.

Going to be an interesting day
My allergy meds are making me a bit loopy today.
First, there was the daily stand-up meeting where I interrupted a colleague like so:
him: yesterday, Brazil
him: today, FCS
me: TOMORROW, THE WORLD!!!!
Then there was this, that made me laugh out loud in the middle of the open-plan office space:
Fear me, for I am doped up on allergy meds.
Gotta love the Japanese
