Weighed for the first time in a couple months. Actually had thought I'd gained a little while I was mostly feeding myself, but... apparently, I've lost something like 12-15 pounds. Which is, like. Okay, then. Haven't been doing anything different but alright.

I think (???) its an overly elaborate Wikipedia funding drive.

Look again. Then wait. Then look again.

It's regenerating it every once in a while. It changes.

Also, there are multiple links embedded in the images.

And there's a puzzle inside.

A puzzle which appears to involve a university domain name combined with a phrase.

It's a challenge. You input a university domain name as a sort of name for the high score board, then a string. That string is hashed into some encrypted string, then compared against the system's encrypted string. Closest match has their university inserted into the comic. THIS IS AWESOME.


And that's only part of it. The wiki-dog appears to actually be growing/changing as well. EPIC COMIC IS EPIC.

Also has a very fitting title: Externality.

Oooh, and it keeps track of rankings and such, even within schools. Telling you when you got the high score for your school. :D

I am off by 470 bits, which is the best for my institution so far.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler

Personally, I mentally see "?" as the "Huh?" from MGS (it's just a box...). "!" is, of course, the alert sound.

Quote from: Thomas Paine
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

So Randall is crowd-sourcing a project to break a hash.
