It's really quite hard to describe the feeling and experience on the fateful Friday afternoon I first tripped, but it's like a sort of catharsis to help figure out just exactly what happened. Let me set up the context for the trip before I describe the subsequent events. I was in Amsterdam for the weekend with 5 girls and we had begun our day with a traditional Amsterdam pastime, smoking, smoking and more smoking. I decided that since the girls only wanted to do mushroom tea, which I would later find out is hard to come by in the 'dam and I didn't want to buy one of those cheap shitty tea packets, that I would buy a pack of fresh Thai shrooms.
This was at 1 o'clock or so in the afternoon, just after a joint session at a local coffeeshop. At five or so, I decided it would be a good time to eat the shrooms and go walk around Vondelpark and just see what the upcoming hours would hold in store. I'd say it was about a half-hour when I started to notice the effects of the shrooms. The first thing I noticed is of this sort of bar/restaurant in Vondelpark, which, at the time (on a nice spring day) was quite crowded. At first, I wasn't going to go in but after slowly approaching the place it seemed like a crazy location to enter.
The patrons seemed as though they were wild and louder than I had ever heard humans before. The building itself had a weird green tint to it that reminded me of a forboding lighthouse. What happens next is very, very odd. I continued the walk through Vondelpark and the trees started to change colors. It was as though they were trying to speak to me. Each one possessed a different set of colors that was exagerated by the shrooms. I remember one particular tree that struck me as being quite strange. It's leaves dangled and all I could see of the tree was this red, light green, and orange-ish tint. Yet, it was as though at that point I had never seen a tree with such vibrant colors. That was the peaceful part of the trip.
Eventually, I made my way out of the park. At this point I was aimlessly wandering, having no idea in which direction, and I began to feel a fear slowly rising within my conscious about finding my way back to the hotel which I was staying. In fact, I couldn't stop thinking of this, it dominated my thoughts and I felt that if I did not get back home, I was somehow a failure and that great evil awaited me, whether in the city or within my own mind, if I failed to return. Somewhat miraculously I mananged to push on in the journey, convincing myself that maybe food would help take my mind off of the returning to the hotel obsession.
This began the most intense part of the trip, probably just over an hour or hour and a half after intitial consumption. I ended up in a kebab joint where even upon entering felt strange. I set my coat and book down and immediately my head pounded. The strangest sound kept repeating itself in my mind, this sort of slow and methodic humming. It's a very hard sound to describe, but the closest thing I can think of is a buzzing power line or electrical line. I thought maybe going into the bathroom would help cleanse myself of the current condition, but there I felf vast feelings of chlostropobia and the white walls reminded me of solitary confinement.
Realizing that I had not even placed an order yet, I staggered up to the counter and saw an Arab clerk. I told him that I wanted a kebab sandwich and this seemed okay and everything was normal at this exact point in time. However, I went to sit back down in my seat and the humming noise began again and I became very disturbed by how long the food was taking, albeit it was probably the vast distortion of time.  I couldn't see myself as I was seated and the mirror was above the level of my head, but I could see everything behind me which included the entryway to the restaurant and the street in which it was on.
Then the most worrysome part of the trip occured. After receiving my food, I started to hallucinate. I saw the man that took my order back in the kitchen talking to other employees, I could have sworn at the time I saw and could hear continual laughter from the kitchen area. He would occasionaly look over and be laughing. I, in the meantime, simply stared at my food. The sandwich became completely and utterly terrifying. The meat was flowing out of the bread and the sauce also, this disorder was like a monster or some creature was trying to crawl out of the sandwich, I completely lost my appetite and was only focused on the kitchen laughter.
I had the recurring thought that the Arab man was laughing at the 'silly American' and that this somehow led to a deep hatred of our culture and citizens. I was enforcing all stereotypes, not only of Arabs but of myself. For an instant, I thought maybe this clerk is a terrorist and he plans to do harm. Now, I realize how unfounded and narrow this view is. But at the time, the fear in my mind instantly grew when I assosciated the Middle-Easterner with terrorism. I immediately left the table and went to go pay the bill, all with only picking at my food in wonderment. He noticed that I had left the place clean and asked 'was everything okay?' to which I gave an affirmative. In retrospect, I realize how funny this was, some kid walks in and orders 9 euros worth of food and leaves the plate and then says the food was fine. But this overall sensation was that I had to remove myself from this environment.
Next, I began to walk around the streets of Amsterdam, completely lost. After maybe 20 minutes of this, I asked a man on a bicycle how I could get back to Vondelpark. He spoke in English but it was so strange, I processed the words but it seemed like he took an eternity to convey an answer. Finally, he said 'it's quite far from here' which only led to more fears about the initial I have to make it back to the hotel plan. After some more walking, I kept having more recurring thoughts, like this is a really bad nightmare or dream but at the same time wondering if I can ever escape this situation.
Also, there were some amazing moments walking around. Eventually I found the Van Gogh museum and the sun shone over the field of green grass and this was just about the most stunning panorama I can remember. The sun seemed closer that I can ever imagine, as if I were to extend my arm I could easily reach out and touch it.  This helped to calm my inner fears, to a certain degree.
I sort of knew where I was at this point and worked my way back to the hotel. I could feel the insane part of the trip winding down and now subtle visuals persisted. Finding the Best Western again felt like I had achieved my one goal in life, and it also sobered me up in the sense that I no longer felt I was living in another universe or nightmarish reality. I entered the hotel and walked to the room where my two roomates were. At this point it was still hard to talk to people, but at the same time if felt good to have some human contact.  It had never felt so good to lay down in my bed and relax. An hour later, I went to a comedy show with the girls and afterwards proceeded to get insanely stoned, this also felt very relieving after a day of smoking, tripping and now smoking again.
But this experience was not without several key lessons. Tripping taught me that if I could survive an experience such as that one, living sober would be a piece of cake. I really still feel this way in the sense that the feelings I had to deal with and control while on shrooms pale in comparison to the spectrum of emotions while sober. Finally, shrooms were nice in that the visuals presented to me a world that I truly had not seen before. The colors and light propetries made me appreciate nature and the natural world more. So, in conclusion, would I do mushrooms again? Well, yes. However only with the right people, under the right circumstances, and in the right setting. And this is something that will be higly scrutinized after what happened on my initial trip.

Picasso portrait snags Canadian record-setting $9.1M at Toronto auction
by The Canadian Press, StaffTORONTO - A Pablo Picasso portrait has sold for $9.1 million, making it the most valuable work by a non-Canadian artist to sell at auction in the country.
The 1941 painting sold Wednesday at the Heffel Fine Art Auction House depicts photographer Dora Maar, who during her relationship with Picasso served as the principal subject of his "Weeping Woman" series.
The pre-auction estimate for "Femme au chapeau" was $8 million to $10 million.
The Canadian highlight of the auction was the Emily Carr painting "Street, Alert Bay," which fetched $2.4 million.
It was painted in 1912 upon Carr's return from a trip to France and depicts a First Nations village in British Columbia.
A second Carr painting, "Spring," sold for $390,000 and a Lawren Harris painting consigned by American actor Steve Martin, "Mountain Sketch LXX," also sold for $390,000.

SEPAT
August 17, 2007
Yesterday I was walkking around the old centre of Taipei almost all the day long. I the night, I met my friend from Sweden and some friends of her for a drink, trying to get deeper into taiwanese culture, hehe. Today I've just waken up and had breakfast and now waiting for my friend coming from Taijung this morning. We'll stay in Taipei at least one more day and, if the weather allows us, we'll go travelling the island around on sunday or monday.
The only con is this:
Typhoon SEPAT
A large & very powerful storm. Strongest winds are at the center of the storm, upwards of 155mph/250kph making it a Category 4 hurricane in the west. Will begin Influencing the island Friday morning 8/17. Landfall forecast for Hualien Taidong on Saturday morning 8/18 around 5am. On Saturday 8/18 strongest winds will be in Hualien/Taidong, while heaviest rains are forecast for North & NE Taiwan. The storm should be past the Island by Sunday 8/19.
Source: http://www.tealit.com/article_categories.php?section=weather&article=typhoon
Yet, locals are not that worried, neither am I. It looks like it'll last for 2 or 3 days and the precaution we are required to take is staying away from he mountains and the beach and shuting down AC and windows. I guess I can handle it. Mom, Dad, I'll be safe ;)

s6-portable-utils
Software
skarnet.org
The s6-unquote-filter program
s6-unquote acts as a filter, reading quoted strings on stdin,
unquoting them and writing the results to stdout.
Interface
s6-unquote-filter [ -q | -Q | -v | -w ] [ -d delim ]
- s6-unquote-filter reads lines on stdin. It exits 0 on EOF.
- It expects read lines to follow the
syntax of s6-quote's output strings
- Depending on the strictness options, it prints various warning
or error messages to stderr if it cannot properly unquote lines. In
the very strict mode, it exits 100 on the first unquoting error.
- If it is successful at unquoting, it prints the resulting
lines to stdout.
Options
- -d delim : a list of characters that
will be considered as delimiters (to start and end the quoted string).
By default, only the double quote is such a character. If delim
is the empty string, s6-unquote-filter interprets string as
non-delimited, only escaped (i.e. for instance the result of some
s6-quote-filter -u operation).
- -q : loose/quiet mode. s6-unquote-filter will
silently accommodate errors.
- -Q : normal mode. This is the default. s6-unquote-filter
will warn on errors.
- -v : strict/verbose mode. s6-unquote-filter will
warn loudly on errors, with many details.
- -w : very strict mode. s6-unquote-filter will complain
and die on the first unquoting error it encounters.

The examples over black or white are the font Montserrat at 16px normal (400 weight). The examples over yellow are 18px 200 weight, except the large text which is 32px bold. CSS font-smoothing is at default (auto). The last example is 18px and 300 weight, and shows the difference with font smoothing if supported by this browser.
Notice that the pure blue over black is very difficult to read. To use blue as the brightest of two colors, green must be added. Similarly, full green is hard to read against white, this is because green makes up the majority of luminance, or lightness.

#08F Add some green for a readable blue against black. ☆ ★ ◯ ♥ ☎
#F00 This is Pure Red on Black, approximately -80% contrast. Some types of color vision problems cause the red to be ~35% darker (on sRGB) thus pure red is better as the darkest of two colors. ☆ ★ ◯ ♥ ☎

#E00 This is Pure Red on White, approximately 80% contrast. Since some color vision problems cause the red to be ~35% darker (on sRGB) pure red can be okay as the darker color against white. ☆ ★ ◯ ♥ ☎
#00F Full Blue on White is 110% contrast. Since the blue is the same value in the white background, there is no detail in the blue channel at all. This is advantageous as it can reduce glare and chromatic aberration. ☆ ★ ◯ ♥ ☎

This is cryptopunk. It’s like steampunk or diesel punk. It depicts a different kind of life. This one is scifi based. You have the freedom loving people of Nagan VII and the bureaucratic Kartouri who seek to rule them. Let’s see what happens in eipisode 8.
 “Operation Excessive Fuckery” worked perfectly. Santana was pleased too. They used Netuoso’s hacking skills to overwrite the targetting system. When the Karts made their violent intentions clear they activated the program and took over the targetting system. In truth only two ships were out there. Santana in Baby-4 and Mystique sailing the Discordiant. All the other targets were weapons systems, engine systems, and other critical systems on the the Dreadnaughts. Neither Mystique or Santana fired a shot.
Now for the rescue operation. It hadn’t been planned this way, but two of the Dreadnaught raider bitches actually shut down life support on one another. Seems like the Kartouri put their engines a little too close to the circulation systems. The couple holes they poked in the ships hull maybe led to a few deaths, but if they didn’t get over there and patch life support or life boat everyone there was gonna be some blood on their hands.
Sammo? You ready to launch?
“Maam I’m always ready to launch!”
Sammo, the newly hired ship’s engineer released the docking clamps and shot out of the launch bay. Muxxy, Welk, and Santana along with a skeleton crew flashed across the deep space horizon shooting towards Tanic’s “capsized” boat. Mystique took another team over to the second Dreadnaught to help them. That looked a little more serious, so they were focusing on being a life boat. Mystique’s ship wasn’t much of a transport ship, but the mess deck was big enough to hold a thousand people. Mystique had also put up additional calls out through spacebird.net. Should be a few ships coming to help soon.
When they hit the Dreadnaught Sammo got out the Cutters and set to work. He carved out a healthy section of the hull. They were ready in spacesuits for it just to be open vacuum, but it seems the ship had automatically shutoff some of the open-to-space sections. It was cold, but it wasn’t dead. Sammo flicked on his light and could see a few dead engineers and a metal rod that looked like it was shorting a power couple. “I’ll get this done in a giff cap.”
About a day later the Kartouri were already settled in about 1400 homes. Some were concentrated in a few hospitals. The Kartouri were pretty evenly split between dead and otherwise fine. Santana took in Tanic himself in her home, a quiet homestead about an hour from Nagnarock by the maglev or even less if you took the underground tubes. What are presumed to be his wife and kid weren’t doing quite as well. The woman, who Santana couldn’t tell was either Margaret or Vanessa and the child were both taken to the hospital. Some explosion had damaged the babies face and it seemed likely a bioic eye would be necessary. Apparently a mother’s instinct kicked in too and she had shielded the kid. So, she was suffering from pretty serious burns across her back, but nothing some stem cells couldn’t fix.
Tanic was still out cold. Docs said he was ok and it was just a concussion. He was now on a couch. She had bought a tech tab for him. She wrote out instructions, left the note on the tech tab, and went into town to grab food for two and some clothes.
Episode 7- Consequences
Tanic put down his new son Tanic Jr. A blobby smily sort of child. His eyes would wander around the room with curiosity. Venessa, the mother, was on the bed. It was awkward telling Margaret about what happened. To her he had left for a minor mission, but for him it was 2-years and unclear if he’d ever return. Vanessa provided relief and a chance for a life, but now that he was back in his original universe it was difficult to explain. It was mostly going back and forth on calls with endless sobbing. He loved her dearly, but he hoped she would understand that it wasn’t intentional infidelity. What happens in other time lines and dimensions stays in them… except for children.
He tickled Tanic Jr one more time and went to the bridge.
Tanic Elotaw allowed himself a smirk as his newly retrofitted Dreadnaught class Peace Enforcer exited Quantum slip outside of Nagan VII accompanied by two additional Peace Enforcers 141007 and 154022. His weapons were ready. Margaret hadn’t snapped at him in a few hours, and Nagan VII was about to be bombarded to pieces. He tugged his uniform tight and started his broadcast.
“People of Nagan VII. Your insurrection against the Kartouri Civilization is at an end. Unless you issue uncondional surrender and agree to annexation by writ of Councilor Mago your civilization will be nuetrali…”
The broadcast cut out unexpectedly. The screen went blank, and after a brief disruption it flickered and his nemesis “Admiral” Santana appeared.
“Tanic, I’m sorry to see you again. We have prepared for your arrival and will unroll the welcome mat if you don’t leave immediately. Head back to your Kartouri shithole either in peace or pieces. The option is yours.”
Tanic laughed. “Santana, you may not know this but I’ve been waiting two years for this opportunity. I’ve come with friends and the latest technology available to Kartouri. We hereby suggest you power down, lay down your arms and prepare to be boarded. We have no intention of leaving without annexati..” again the screen cut out. There was a brief high pitched squeel, and then a hard hitting bass rythm starting pounding at rediculous levels on the bridge. This was followed by a hard hitting drum solo on top of it.” He plugged his ears.
His new weapons officer Digs started shouting, but it was broken up by the noise. “Com… de.r. There.. bogie…. 360..” Tanic looked at the tactical display and saw several hundreds blips appear. He also saw “operation excessive fuckery” on the screen. “Give me a visual” he shouted, but Digs indicated he couldn’t hear.
The next second he was on the ground. He looked at the HUD and saw 3 deck floors flashing yellow and apparently depressurizing. He ran to the window and saw a flurry of torpedoes hitting his ship. He knocked the ensign out of his chair and steered the ship towards the bogie, but his dreadnaught didn’t respond.  He went back to the window and saw the other two peace enforcers were dark, and then his lights went off. All that was left was functional was the deafening sound of the viking crypto metal band Fyrce pouding in the speakers. A blast went off on the bridge knocking him down and unconscious.
It was the last sound he heard as Santana’s small fleet picked apart his ships apart.

For some photographers, taking group pictures is a science. Not only do you need the right kind of camera, a good setting with proper light, and a nice backdrop. You also need to be able to quickly and efficiently sort all of the people in the group into rows from shortest person to tallest! Depending on how rowdy the group is, and how many people are in the group, and how a photographer chooses to sort all of these people, this sorting process can take anywhere from a few minutes to the entire day.
Believe it or not, computer programmers using every kind of language from ruby to JavaScript go through almost the exact same process when sorting a piece of code. While the numbers in an array may not have the rowdiness of a college class, there are often many more of them to sort than even thirty rows of students. A programmer doesn't want their search algorithm to take an entire day, though, and often can't afford to have it take that long if they need to sort through an immense array of integers multiple times in a day.
Over the years, programmers have searched for ways to sort through code more efficiently, and often the algorithms they figure out only work in specific circumstances. For that group photographer, it's easy to tell a group of ten people one-by-one where to line up for the photo and take the picture soon after, while strategies are involved to tell an entire office staff where to stand. Does the photographer shout a general pattern for each row to follow based on a random person in that row? Or do they walk through the crowd multiple times, switching certain members of the office with the person next to them until everyone is in the correct place? Or does the photographer get crafty and pull small groups of office workers aside and tell them how to organize so that they can figure out how work together without any prodding?
Each of the photography examples above actually represent three different search techniques that programmers have used over the years. Whether or not these algorithms are used today, it is important to understand how each type works in order to develop new search techniques in the future. The first search technique I'll discuss is called a bubble search.
The bubble search is usually only used today in order to explain why older search methods are faulty. At first, this search method will seem very efficient, but the bigger a group gets, the slower the bubble search gets, to a point where it's not very practical to use it at all. The bubble search works by passing through the search data multiple times, each time swapping items in the data with the items next to them if they need to be switched in order to appease the search terms. On every pass through all of the data, the bubble search checks once more for misplaced data and fixes it. Finally, when a pass through the data yields no swaps, the sort is considered complete. Here is an example of an array being sorted with this method from smallest number to largest:
Sorting an array using a 'bubble sort' ______________________________________ Unsorted array: [9,5,3,2,6,8,4,2,7,] First pass: [5,2,3,6,8,4,2,7,9] Second pass: [2,3,5,6,4,2,7,8,9] Third pass: [2,3,5,4,2,6,7,8,9] Foutth pass: [2,3,4,2,5,6,7,8,9] … … ... And etc. until : [2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
As you can see, it can take a lot of passes just to sort a few different numbers. In this case, the bubble sort will focus on pushing over the first swappable number in a set, and if that number is high enough, like the '9' in the first slot of the array above, the bubble sort will focus on moving that 9 from one end of the array to the other, and not much else. With small arrays, this sorting method can work fine, but as the arrays being sorted through get bigger and bigger, I'm sure you can already see how ineffective this is. When creating an search algorithm, it's important to be efficient, after all, and the quick search is a much more efficient way to search ineffectively.
The quick search, like the bubble search, is not the fastest way to search through a large array of objects. That said, when a smaller search is needed with as little coding as possible, the quick search can often do that job, albeit unpredictably. The reason the quick search is hard to predict is based on the way it works. The quick sort chooses a random element within an array, and then looks through each pair of items to the left and right of that random element, swapping them if necessary according to the sort criteria. After the swapping is complete, the sort picks another random point and performs the swap to the left and right of that point until all items have been sorted. Here's an example of the quick sort in action with the same array as above:
Sorting an array using a 'quick sort' _____________________________________ Unsorted array: [9,5,3,2,6,8,4,2,7,] First random element: 3 First pass: [5,9,(3),2,6,4,2,7,8] Second random element: 7 Second pass: [5,3,2,6,4,2,9,(7),8] Third random element: 4 Third pass: [3,2,5,6,(4),2,7,8,9] ... ... ... And etc. until: [2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
At first glance, this search seems even slower than the bubble search, right? Well, did you notice how much more of the search was completed when the random element chosen was in the middle of the array? Programmers using quick sort are either hoping that the quick sort chooses these middle-elements more often in order to make the search more efficient, or program the search to always choose the median number in a list as the random element. The extra programming will slow down the search quite a bit, however, which is why many programmers will still choose to let the search pick those elements randomly. Because there is no way to predict the random element in the quick sort without slowing down the sort quite a bit, the bigger the array being searched means the less efficient the quick search becomes. So is there an effective search method that is fast and precise? The merge sort is at least a step in the right direction.
The merge sort takes the best ideas from the bubble sort and quick sort and implements them together to create a much better sort method overall. This sorting algorithm first splits the array being searched into pairs. It then sorts each pair according to the search criteria. The sort then compares groups of four instead of two, comparing the first number of the first pair to each number of the second pair, then the second number of the first pair to each number of the second pair. If there are more other groups of four in the array, it will then do this with the next group. Then the merge will split the numbers into groups of eight. comparing the two groups of four one item at a time. This process repeats with larger groups slowly merging until the array is sorted. Here's a look at the merge sort in action:
Sorting an array using a 'merge sort' _____________________________________ Unsorted array: [9,5,3,2,6,8,4,2,7,] First grouping: (9,5), (3,2), (6,8), (4,2), (7) First pass: (5,9), (2,3), (6,8), (2,4), (7) Second grouping: (5,9,2,3), (6,8,2,4), (7) Second pass: (2,3,5,9), (2,4,6,8), (7) Third grouping: (2,3,5,9,2,4,6,8)(7) Third pass: (2,2,3,4,5,6,8,9)(7) Fourth grouping: (2,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,7) Fourth Pass: (2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) <= Sorted!
The merge sort worked like a charm for this array, and from its creation in 1945 by John von Neumann to today, it has been used often for the speed and accuracy shown in the example above. So why do the other sort systems exist when this one works so well? Well, the merge sort still isn't perfect. While it's relatively quick, it still requires multiple steps for each part of the search, while with the right luck, a quick sort could use far less. Even today, many programmers prefer the quick sort for some programs based on speed over time for multiple, smaller searches.
Just like no photographer knows how to properly organize every possible group of people of any size, no programmer has found a perfect sort method for every possible program. Just like understanding the various methods and functions built into any programming language, a programmer needs to understand the various sort algorithms used today, which ones are more efficient for certain codes, and which are better suited for others. Without calculating the speed of different sorts against a code, however, one can only make an educated guess on which to use.
With that said, I hope the sort types above have taught you a little bit about how various sort algorithms work, but you'll probably want to know all about the other sorting styles programmers use nowadays. Please check out this link to read all about the various sorting algorithms and watch animations of the sorts doing their thing: sorting-algorithms. Now stand still, look at the camera and say cheese!
