Witticism Dropbox
A few days ago, I was excited to get my Google Voice invitation in my inbox. To play around with it, I’ve setup a little widget that you can use to call my voicebox and leave… whatever you want (as long as it’s audible; please don’t stuff any posters or postcards in my voicemailbox).
You can click the link at the top of my sidebar to access the widget (WordPress.com doesn’t let you upload them). Unfortunately… it’s Flash based. Sorry for the non-foss technology, guys.
And if you actually want to talk to me and not just leave a message, you’re welcome to call. My number is (843)-k, where k = gtlt(rev(13/18)) + rad(360/2), rounded to seven digits; gtlt(x) := Greatest Triangular number less than x. A pat on the back and a free drink next time I see you to the first person to get that right. I don’t think it’s that hard, especially to the kind of people who would read my blog anyway, but little coded statements are always fun.
PS: If I accumulate enough cool messages, I’ll post some of the good ones. Might take a year or so though. :-)
Edit note: When solving this myself, I realized I initially wrote it wrong. Note that I’ve now included a function gtlt(x).
How does the rev function work, exactly? I was assuming it’s converting 13/18 degrees to revolutions, but that wouldn’t make sense, unless you want me to ignore the leading decimal point in that number.

I can’t answer that, Ashwin. John might be able to help you, though.

There is no denying the fact that purchasing a car can be a nerve-wracking, stress-filled experience.
Before you make a decision and spend a great amount
of money on a vehicle, it pays to acquire a bit of knowledge on
the subject. Keep the tips that follow close at hand, and
you will have what it takes to make an optimal decision.
