My Six Word Memoir Was Published

Far too long ago to remember, I submitted an entry to SMITH magazine’s Six Word Memoirs. The other day I received a package containing this book. If you happen to come across it in your travels, I urge you to check out page 97….

Download UnixKit for Windows

I’ve written about UnixKit before, but now it seems that the UnixKit website has been offline for a while. After careful consideration of licensing issues (UnixKit is simply a handy compilation of other people’s free software), I’ve decided to offer UnixKit for download from my server. It will stay up until I’m contacted and […]

Don’t Mess With WeLoveCelebs.com

Out of all the celebrity news sites on the Internet, picking WeLoveCelebs.com to scrape in order to fill your Adsense spam blog with quick and easy content is a bad idea.

Swift - Safari On Windows?

I’ve been trying out Swift, the Webkit based web browser for Windows that is supposedly like running Safari on a PC. Swift is still in early alpha (v0.1 to be precise) but it’s shaping up to be a very promising project, with the potential to be a valuable tool for Windows-based web developers.

On Saturday I took them all to Orange County Choppers up in New York, […]

LOST / Google Earth Hi-Jinks.

Google Earth, combined with an ever-growing obsession with Lost, equals the kind of geeky shenanigans that result in this: a Google guide to help the improbably well-groomed islanders figure out where they are. You just know that somewhere on that bloody island there is a laptop and a Wi-Fi connection just waiting to be discovered…

Microsoft love is WRONG love.

Varun Dubey poses the question at CoolTechZone.com - Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft?
“Microsoft is perhaps the most hated company in the history of business. Anointed with names such as the Redmond Giant, Microshaft, Microsloth, so on and so forth, the nicknames and jokes are perhaps exceeded only by the vengeance with which people […]

Blogger Life Cycle.

Blogger Life Cycle, by Min Jung Kim.
Hmmm, I’d say that I was at about stage 9; just crazy enough to have actually met other bloggers, but not quite crazy enough to write abstract metaphysical entries about writing abstract metaphysical entries… yet. I also have to point out that I’ve never had a wishlist of […]
