Pedaflop | What is a Megaflop and a Pedaflop

Monday 5 January 2009

Pedaflop

First prize goes to the first person who can describe what a pedaflop is? Because I haven’t got the foggiest. An I.T. colleague used the phrase the other day, and spurred me into setting about finding out what the hell a pedaflop is.

I then learnt that it’s got a lot to do with computing, flops and megaflops. What I can tell you is that a pedaflop is 1000 teraflops, but that is as far as my knowledge goes. Thankfully, there are some people out there that DO know what they are:

Sunday 28 December 2008

www.facebookc.om

It would seem that 2008 was the year of Facebook. Everyone got on it, everyone was talking about it, and everyone undoubtably will still be on it in 2009.

Personally I’m not on it, I don’t have the inclination or the time, but I have heard lots of good things, especially about the applications that you can find on there. I remember the whole furore over the Scrabble game, that did make me laugh.

Anyone got much to say about Facebook?

Jeff Buckley takes the Christmas Number 2 Spot

Friday 26 December 2008

Well, he came close in the end, although if you can call some 400,000 singles behind “close”, well…it was never much of a race for Christmas Number 1. X-Factor, for as long as it exists, will always comandeer the top spot, end of story.

I hadn’t realised though, that Jeff Buckley had got to the top in America due to Jason Castro performing Hallelujah on American Idol. It seems 2008 has been the year of Jeff, only 11 years since he passed away, and people are just starting to discover him. Even if it is because of Simon Cowell.

Jeff would have loved the irony, surely.

Barbie Girls MP3 Player

512mb MP3 Player

Christmas will seemingly be complete for my niece. Yep, she happened to spot the Barbie Girls MP3 Player in the Argos catalogue, and immediately decided she’d like one.

It’s pink, and it’s a 512mb MP3 Player (not that she’s bothered by technical stuff like that lol)….but I think the pinkness is the main issue here. I got mine from Argos  , but have since found loads on ebay
