    Hot new laptop features

    Earlier this summer Chad Comello's 7-year-old son built a laptop from paint and cardboard and it's got some kickass features that you can't get from anywhere else. Wishlisted.

  • A large, L-shaped office desk with thick motorised metal legs lies on its edge, upright, in a bare concrete-floored home office.

    F-Day plus 113

    It's been 113 days since my house flooded and it's almost time for repair work to start! But first, I've got some repair work of my own to do: to a desk that needs moving and to a laptop that's misbehaving.

  • A white man with blue hair tied up in a ponytail sits at a basic pine desk in a garden office, decorated with wallpaper showing toucans. In front of him are two laptops and a large monitor. He holds a black mug in his hand, as if about to drink from it.

    Chicory, Coffee, and Code

    Now that we've finished our move into the Chicory House, I have for the first time in over two months been able to set up my preferred coding environment... with a proper monitor on a proper desk with a proper office chair. Bliss!

  • I'm off for a week of full-time volunteering with Three Rings at 3Camp, our annual volunteer hack week: bringing together our distributed team for some intensive in-person time, working to make life better for charities around the world.

    And if there's one good thing to come out of me being suddenly and unexpectedly laid-off two days ago, it's that I've got a shiny new laptop to do my voluntary work on (Automattic have said that I can keep it).

    I'm hoping to get a laptop for me birthday, any suggestions people who know about these things? Before I end up buying one just because it's pink or has Hello Kitty on it or something. I just want something basic, but not rubbish. Help?

  • Security Through Obscurity Reaches A New Low

    PowerPizza! It's a laptop bag that looks like a pizza box! No longer do you have to worry about your attractive laptop being an easy target for thieves - who'd want to steal a pizza box?

    Fucking crazy. But I love it.

  • Late

    Running late for work. Was supposed to get up and take laptop to Daton as part of an insurance scam, but I'm still at home after having woken up late. Still, Claire'll be at work until about 1am today... in Newtown... so there's no benefit to me coming home early. I'll work late.
