Vespers
Some time ago, I recommended Photopia as a great text-based adventure for both beginners and veterans: with a great, sweet story (with a slightly depressing ending) and a short play time, it's just great to show people why text-based adventures are fun.
Here's my latest recommendation: Vespers. It's dark, cold, and disturbing - insanity, bubonic plague, … -
Features UNIX Has That Life Needs
It's come to my attention that there are a lot of things that computers in general - and, in particular, UN*X-flavoured operating systems - offer that are sadly lacking in Real Life. I'm hoping that Life 2.0 will include a number of these features. (Life 2.0, of course, will not be like Web 2.0 - …

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
What is a "setup experience"? And why do Microsoft want to share it with me, anyway?
I can't actually find a definition of the word "performant" - can anybody help? -
Angry Saudi Protesters
In the style of her comic, The Aber Effect, and in the light of recent protests about the religious implications of a comic, Claire has made a marvellous one-framer, shown below:
Much thanks to Claire for allowing me to publish this online. -

Took a mock driving theory test provided by Statto today. Think I did quite well.

We’re On The Move
Always a fan of double meanings.
This weekend, Claire, JTA, Binky and I are going over to the Real Ale Ramble in Llanwrtyd Wells. It'll be fun. I just have to find some warm clothes and wash them, first.
But we're also "on the move" in that Claire and I are going to have to move out … -
Off To Gregynog
Right; I'm off to Gregynog and then on to Wolverhampton for Gareth and Liz's housewarming/Liz's birthday party. I've uploaded a few episodes of Dan & Alex to keep you all amused for the weekend (but I apologise in advance for them being a little self-referencial).
And while, of course, I can't say much on here, those … -

Here's a geeky (well, geekier) retelling of The Matrix.

Soup On Your Head
There are some very strange tags on Flickr, the photo sharing service, such as this one which was revealed to me today: Soup On Your Head. It's pictures of people... with soup on their heads. And that's it. Damn weird.

Dan and Alex
Dan and Alex now has it's own subdomain, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. Yeah, right. There's a new episode up, and you can even subscribe to the new RSS feed (or just pick it up on Abnib).
Expect to see more of Dan and Alex in the near future.

Who’s My Daddy?
I've seen some pretty stupid test memes. So I've made one of my own:
Who's My Daddy?
Peter Huntley is my daddy.

In other news, "Hook" by Blues Traveler (lyrics) is a spectacular song.
I have an unbelievable amount of work to … -
eBay Context Advertising
You've probably seen eBay's context-sensitive advertising on Google: you search for, say, "children's toys", and one of the Google ads on the right-hand side of the page tells you how you can buy and sell children's toys on eBay. I've always thought that this system was probably just waiting to be abused, so I had …
