No, I’m not hungry. Wait, yes. Yes I am.
But this isn’t about food.
The Roman Numeral for 10,000 is an X with a horizontal line above it, but as it turns out, there is no web character for that.
But what about a CSS hack? Let’s try this:
<span style="text-decoration: overline;">X</span>

Whee! I’m still not going to change the title though.
Anyways, today marked an occasion, a retirement.
I’m hanging up my CPUs. All these spare cycles will now go wasted.
I know I have talked about the SETI@Home project before. It’s some cool stuff. And by cool, I mean really dorky. And hey, dork is the new black, right? Or is it still pink?
Nah. The new black is Dark-Sided! Heh. I so need help.
Anyways, today I completed my 10,000th workunit.
