I am sorry to say that this is my last blog posting within the 360 blog, I am moving my blog over to yahoo web hosting  which now offers a  WordPress  blogging feature. The 360 blog is really ok for beginner users. I decided to move for the following reasons:

1. I wanted to add content-match ads from YPN (which I have in the new blog)
2. I wanted to get stats on visitors, referrals, etc.
3. I wanted pagerank/webrank scores to be shared with my main domain (awadallah.com)
4. I wanted to post more than one photo per blog entry, and add video too.
5. I wanted to easily spell check my posts

So, going forward, you can reach my blog postings at:

http://www.awadallah.com/blog

the RSS2 feed is at:

See you there,

Try this search on Google: 1 - 0.9 - 0.1

the answer they give is: 1 - 0.9 - 0.1 = -2.77555756 × 10^-17

of course the right answer is zero, which is what Yahoo Search gives:

1 - 0.9 - 0.1 = 0

to illustrate the problem with Google rounding:

1 / ((1 - 0.9 - 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.36028797

when the right answer should be infinity, however yahoo gives this same wrong answer too:

1/((1 - 0.9 - 0.1) * (10^17)) = -0.3602879702

Very terse postings on my blog lately, very busy at work and home. However, I purposely plan on being terse going forward, I think folks prefer blogs that post something funny/informative every now and then, rather than a gazillion postings per day.

Later this week I plan to make a posting about shorting Google, stay in tune for that one

Ok, so this blog posting is about my first Vimeo upload. Vimeo  is a Flickr rip-off for Videos, their site is actually pretty well done, I also like the referrals feature they have at the bottom of the clip pages (shows you where traffic to that page is comming from). For example, check the referrals for this clip on Halo 2 xbox live cheating:

Ok, so the Vimeo posting I did was taken using my new cell phone, I took a clip of David Gerster saying a funny (internal) joke, I then emailed it to the vimeo gateway and it worked straightforwardly (is that a word?). You can check the clip out at:

 http://www.vimeo.com/clip=21980

Another nice feature that Vimeo has is taking snapshots out of the video clip and posting them directly to flickr, its a clever move by them, since the photo cross-links back to viemo, hence increasing their distribution and page-rank. You can see an example here:
