I had to post this for the masses/geeks to enjoy (though chances are that you’ve already seen it if you’re a Gizmodo reader). Some chap decided to make himself a computer made from a pumpkin (well, for the chassis). Yup, another geek with too much time (and pumpkin) on his hands. I wonder how long [...]
After shipping the FireFox 2 browser, Mozilla received a present from the IE team at Microsoft. TO take a look, point your browser over here and read the story.
If I was a FireFox developer, I’d be veeeeeery wary of taking a bite of that I get the feeling I’d spend the rest of the [...]
As I’ve already mentioned, I’ve started dabbling in the joys of Linux by installing Ubuntu (Dapper Drake). This was partly joyous and partly painful - but mostly joyous While going through some of the less enjoyable moments I spent a fair bit of time trawling forums and hanging in IRC channels (#ubuntu-au on irc.freenode.net [...]
I could have squeezed this into the gaming round up that I posted a few days back, but this deserves to be shown out on its own (besides, it’s not just game-specific). I stumbled accross this last week, and it blew me away. The article, called Cyberface: New Technology That Captures the Soul from [...]

Point your currently insecure/outdated browsers over here [...]
While mulling over the meaning of life during the course of the day, I decided to take the plunge and install Ubuntu on the disk that I freed up ages ago - why I waited this long, I really don’t know, I think it might have something to do with lack of spare time (or [...]
Which one are you? I’ve had my own thoughts on the differences between what makes a person a developer and what makes a person a programmer for some time, but I think this article at Hacknot bears a striking resemblance - which means I don’t have to write it out myself
A great read, [...]
I just thought I’d add this last post as a bit of food for thought before signing off today. This link comes from a bloke who’s been through the pain of wanting to move away from Windows, only to find that the results were just as, if not more, painful than sticking to what he [...]
I have quite a bit to cover in the gaming world today, and I didn’t want to create a separate post for each thing so I thought I’d group them all together.
