Fancy Dancer

Time for another guessing contest. There's a $20 Borders gift card for the reader who comes closest to guessing the date and time we'll record our 200,000th visitor. I'm not going to provide any useful statistics today; you're on your own. Guesses close on August 5th - 5 pm PDT, which should tell you that I don't expect us to be there by then. But who knows, perhaps if the Supreme Court returns from exile, we might get there faster than we think.

The "Lipscomb calculator" is essentially finished. Although it is stuck at alpha 0.8.1, little else will change except code cleanup, bug fixes, and some cosmetics. You can download a copy from the link to the left. All the reports I've gotten on it so far suggest that it is giving the "right" answers for the scenarios thrown at it. So throw out your gold teeth and see how they roll. Those who want a Linux version or who want an OS X version will need to email me. I can provide Linux version almost instantly. It will take longer for an OS X version, but the code is OS independent.
