Benoit Mandelbrot dies

The 'father of fractal geometry' has died this week aged 85. I've always thought these pictures hold a magic not seen in any other place. That they appear from simple equations and go on forever in complexity we can't fathom is just mind blowing.

I remember downloading a free fractal program once and mucking about with it for hours. The shapes that are created are so beautiful and intriguing, truly like looking into the mind of God!

Ways to earn money on line

Sunday, 3 October 2010 at 01:05 | Posted by Keith

Well this is the ongoing topic of so many blogs, thought I'd give my take.
I've been trying to make some money via the web for about 2 years now. I use or have used survey sites, adsense, traffic referal sites, ptc, independent ad companies, social networks and ebay.
So far I've not made enough money even to replace my mouse =/
So what am I doing wrong? I dunno, I guess I haven't tried everything out there yet (there are still article writing sites and others to explore). But the thing that gets me is that it is possible to earn some decent money on line but there are so many scams and opps that pay less than 1p an hour that it's almost impossible to find the legit ones. Ah well :)
Any tips would be cool :)
