A friend of mine and I heard the Pippinni Sister’s remake of Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. So we didn’t remember how the original went… So we loaded YouTube. Oh it was bad. She described Kate Bush’s singing as Tori Amos on helium. Heh.

According to a press release from the University of Advanced Technology in Arizona, an instructor has created a translator for cuneiform and heiroglyphics. A snippet from the press release is included below.

The Web site for the translator is called Virtual Secrets. Fascinating stuff. Interesting content, although I honestly find the layout of the site annoying.

UAT Instructor Creates Cuneiform and Hieroglyphic Translator

TEMPE, AZ–(Marketwire - August 23, 2007) - University of Advancing Technology (UAT) instructor and senior web developer Joe McCormack has completed work on a web-based application that translates English words into cuneiform script from the Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian and the hieroglyphic script of Egyptian. The tool may be seen at his website, virtualsecrets.com.

Finally… Back in June when the toilet fiasco hit, I had repainted the hallway and foyer. It was supposed to be a sage green. It turned out to be the color of algae. (Can you say depressing?) It is now a bright, light lemon yellow. I just finished painting, caulking and painting the mouldings, and touching up the trim where it needed it.

Yay! One more room down… I still have the in the rest of places where new flooring was put down. The guys replaced the mouldings but they didn’t caulk the mouldings like it should have been. I’ll tackle that, but not tonight. It’s rather late.

Boy does it feel good to have that out of the way.
