After seeing 'Treat Your Mother Right' and 'Jump In My Car' I really wanna see a Hasslehoff/T collaboration. It would probably bring peace and solidarity to the world...

Or just make it implode. Which, you know, would also be an extreme form of new found peace.

5 more days til the Australian Gigantour. This is going to be awesome...plus I have a Nevermore show afew days after that.

is it me, or people take things too seriously?

Maybe both.

I have no idea why but I'm trying to calculate an approximation of Pi by picking 1,000,000,000 random points in a square and checking if they're in a circle.

I've just discovered the news about baby Townsend in the Hummer-thread. Damn, I'm slow lately...

A square? I don't get it...

Well basically I'm generating 10,000,000,000 random points with coordinates 0<=x<=1 and 0<=y<=1 (so that's points in a 1x1 square). By solving x^2+y^2 I can determine whether they are inside or outside the circle that fits in said square. And the surface ratio of square:circle is 4/pi. So by multiplying the number of points inside the circle by 4, and then dividing by the total number of points, I get an estimation of pi (an estimation because the points were random. Theoreticall, things like p=1 could come up).

Here are the results:

Accuracy: 10,000,000,000
# Points: 10,000,000,000
# In Circle: 7,853,965,100
# Out Circle: 2,146,034,900
Pi: 3.14158604

oh dear god what a bunch of nerds...

You're just jealous

oh dear god what a bunch of nerds...

Aaaamen.



My nerdy random thought is: If The Simpsons were turned into a real life movie, who else could play Ned Flanders except for William H. Macy? In fact, people won't be able to tell the difference between the real one and the animated one!

Bulgarias major mineral-water company is called Devin.

Oh it made me so happy to drink that water

And of course, being the Biert that I am, I took the label of a bottle home. Found it in my wallet some months after I was there (today to be precise) and here it is:



If anyone can read what it says, I'm really curious

thats glorious!

Also glorious:
# Points: 100,000,000,000
# In Circle: 78,539,916,448
# Out Circle: 21,460,083,552
Pi: 3.14159665792


Took me all day damnit!
