This is a diagram I’ve made that shows the distribution of letters in Scrabble across 27 languages. The area of each tile corresponds to the number of occurrences of the letter on the tile - in English, E occurs 12 times so the area of the E tile here is 12 times the area of Z which appears just once.

Art On The Hill is a new arts trail for Windmill Hill and Victoria Park in Bristol. Despite the relatively small area, we’ve got over 70 artists exhibiting.

I’ve been working on the website - www.artonthehill.org.uk - as well as the publicity material (logo/flyers/posters). I’m also going to be exhibiting some work - mostly paintings of the local area, but some other odd stuff too.

This was the scene at the Glastonbury Festival site yesterday - hundreds of tents abandoned, like some camping Pompeii.

The Trainline website really is poorly designed. There’s something strange with their use of cookies and once I managed to be logged in as two different people at the same time, but the thing that I find exasperating is the fact that you *have* to select a minute time. Most often you want to get a selection of trains around a certain hour and choose the fastest, or the one with the fewest changes. So you select your hour from the drop down and click the button to search. Not so fast. You *must* select a minutes value from the minutes drop down. Would it have hurt to make the default value of the minutes drop down ‘00′?

The Codex Seraphinianus looks like an encyclopædia for a parallel world. Luigi Serafini wrote (in an indecipherable language) and illustrated the book around the late 70’s/early 80’s. I’d love to have a copy but it’s rare and therefore expensive. Luckily it’s available on Flickr for nowt.

Also on Flickr is the Voynich Manuscript.
