Series 60

During the weekend, while coding and learning the API and architecture of Series 60, figured there weren't enough usergroups out there for the Series 60 while browsing the web. The closest one was a S60 usergroup for sharing S60 apps, bitmaps, vids, ringtones, etc. But there was no groups for developers.

Thought it might be good to setup an S60 club as a place for developers to go to. Although I'm not too sure there are a big number of developers out there.

Petty Argument

Got into a petty argument with my old man, about the misuse of the Latin word audit. I argued the word lost its meaning and is now used to mean something else. I cited several misuse of the word in the accounting and technical journals were the term audit was improperly used. The petty debate went on until I finished sipping Sangria.

My old man fired-back with his own versions, he cited several phrases which I never heard before, all of them not related to the word audit, he simply took the conversation and ran with it. Pretty interesting phrases which he said adds value to his argumentations during a cross examination. I charged him with a non sequitur right on the spot.

Opus Galileo

Also found the documentary aired on a certain channel about Galileo's doomed defense of his work (Dialogo) [1, 2], considered heretic by the council. It was my first time to hear actual words spoken in most of the scenes. Very interesting stuff.
