Σήμερα στην ανοιχτή δημόσια συνεδρίαση της Ακαδημίας Αθηνών ο ακαδημαϊκός Αθανάσιος Φωκάς παρουσίασε τη μελέτη του στην επίλυση της υπόθεσης Riemann και στη σχετική συνάρτηση ζητά του Riemann η οποία όπως είπε αποκαλύπτει την «υπέροχη σχέση μεταξύ απλότητας και πολυπλοκότητας στα μαθηματικά, την τέχνη και τη ζωή». Ο Riemann ανακάλυψε μια απροσδόκητη αρμονία στους πρώτους αριθμούς. «Όταν τα πράγματα δυσκολεύουν δραματικά, ενίοτε οφείλουμε να αποστασιοποιηθούμε από το πρόβλημα που μας βασανίζει και να αναρωτηθούμε εάν έχουμε θέσει τη σωστή ερώτηση.» Enrico Bombieri

Long time coming

For the last few days I have been living most of the day in the office. Just today I closed 13 hours inside. The Active Directory has b0rked and I have been trying to fix it with the help of Microsoft and various other so called experts. Unfortunately nothing has worked and today things took a turn for the worse. In a try to restore our previous configuration we decided to restore a previous…

And the saga continues

And the saga continues

The Network at my company is still down. We’ve been trying like mad to bring it up but with not success. In the end it was decided to set up the Active Directory from scratch. Problem of course is how to migrate our old schema in order to save time from having to create user entries once again. Unfortunately the big problem is creating the exchange server again because the old database is…
