Free Will

Free will is only as free as the neurons allow.

Developmental Determinacy

How much breathing space does the fly genome allow it's neural system?

Fly-Will

Is a fly's free will all about the indeterminacy emerging from the complexity of its neural connectome?

Fly-Walk

A wingless fly. Starved. Food odor. Watch fly-path.

Would this fly have taken a different trajectory in a parallel universe?
How many parallel universes to account for entire trajectory space?

SimpleXMLRPCServer

Just wrote* a command-line based ping, mssg, picture send/recv system which:

• is Multi-threaded
• uses XML based messaging
• uses RPC

Using Python's SimpleXMLRPCServer (shipped with the standard distribution) in under an hour's time. Python simply kicks ass when it comes to speed of development. Also its so much easy to think in python.

Plan to add voice messaging ability and encryption support to it. Tomorrow. Day after.

Anybody else want some!


*I use Vim. Vim is sweet.
