Word Recognition (Contd.): Help Needed!

I forgot this point in my last entry…

As some of you may remember, I was running this word recognition experiment for a linguistics assignment I was supposed to hand in in January, but, as you may or may not know, I never wrote the paper, which I still have to do. So I was thinking that I could use some more data (a lot more) and decided to let the experiment run for a while longer.

So, I hereby urge everyone to head to http://lillesvin.net/ling/wr/ and do the experiment. It’s really easy and it only takes 3 minutes, so there’s absolutely no excuse for not doing it. I really need as much data as possible, so apart from twisting only your arm I’ll now ask you to tell all your friends (and enemies) to go do the experiment, link to it in your blog/on your website, print flyers and throw them out of a plane over Tokyo, hack slashdot.org and replace it with a link to the experiment, spam everyone in your address book… I don’t care as long as you’re just doing something!!!

The experiment deadline is April 15 2005, so there’s not a whole lot of time, I know, but I should still be able to get a usable amount of results. I hope you’re willing to help me out - if not, remember what Woody Allen said about egoism…

In advance, thank you sooooo much!

Working Hard and Studying Hard + some Good News™

Lately I’ve been studying pretty hard, which is why I haven’t been very active on the net. I’ll do my best to continue to focus on my studies, from which we can logically conclude that I’ll continue not to be as net-active as before.

But as the heading implies, I’ve also been working hard… On what you might ask - and rightly so because I haven’t told you yet. Foremost I’ve been working on an article about cleaning a Windows box for malware and keeping it clean. (Yeah, I’m not a Windows guy, but I was asked to write it for Windows, so I didn’t really have a choice — and besides, there is no real malware problem on *nix.)

Furthermore I’ve been working on a new design and codebase for lillesvin.net and I’ve even prepared a couple of surprises for the launch of the new site. I can’t (or rather: won’t) tell you what it is and I won’t tell you when I plan to launch the new site… Not yet. (Truth be told, I have no clue as to when it’ll be finished.)
