Hackers And Communists Attack USA Using Linux

Dark Side Active Listening
Disclaimer: we don't endorse any of this.
Following my post about active listening a few weeks back, JTA and I have been discussing the potential of what we're calling Dark Side Active Listening - that is; the use (misuse?) of the skills taught by practitioners of active listening for the purpose of upsetting, infuriating, disorienting, or … -

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 - …

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 … -

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.
