  1. A lovely new Gutenberg duo today: Books Before Typography & Applied Design for Printers gutenberg.org/etext/30803 gutenberg.org/etext/30804
  2. Pleased to see Lavoisier's Elements of Chemistry make it to Gutenberg. Historical innit! http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/30775
  3. Aww. The RSX-11M idle loop is so cute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1TIUm9Hy4o It need an air of menace, and an evil synthesized voice.
  4. Howard Schmidt, an ex-Microsoft exec is to be the US's cybersecurity chief? Oh the irony. This should be as effective as the war on drugs.
  5. I imagine Paul Gogarty's diary will be filled with student socs talk invites after today's little outburst. http://bit.ly/5vw3xe
  6. Just found out Rouge Amoeba's Fission, my favourite MP3 editor, supports using CUE sheets to split audio. Cute and saved me a lot of hassle.
  7. Fun: H. P. Lovecraft makes it to Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/30637 Not quite the tentacled horrors you'd expect though.
  8. Smirks at Top Gear: "Due to new compliance procedures at the BBC, it is no longer possible to show images of film crews being run over."
  9. Have I Got News For You: "It's been another bad week for Gordon Brown, which is as close as this show comes to having a catchphrase." :)
  10. Pleased to see UK Ordnance Survey maps will be freely available online in 2010. Woo! http://is.gd/4XTzL Ireland, are you paying attention?
  11. @pofla Oh, and the Playboy Book of Science Fiction might be a good place to start. Again, can't help but think there are better uses...
  12. @pofla Hmm. You've got a point. Slashdot for tech news is much like Top Gear for useful motor advice these days. Not the reason to do either
  13. "'I read Playboy for the articles': Justifying and rationalizing questionable preferences" Great paper title. Just what I say about slashdot
  14. XHTML is not a regular language. Do not try to parse it using regular expressions :-) http://bit.ly/4Bz2eH
  15. QoTD: "Forget Jesus; the stars died so you could be here today." -- Laurence Krauss on nucleosynthesis.
  16. @gparker Is it a stalemate if you throw calc of POSIX time of a denormal interval after Easter midnight on a leap second year in with them?
  17. Whoa, pentastic. Looks like Apple had more than one interesting R&D project back in the day: http://is.gd/4H81c http://is.gd/4H88k
  18. QoTD: "As regards Sundays, conditions are rather different. To begin with there are more of them, and they come at regular intervals."
  19. http://www.flickr.com/photos/toasty/3538820892/ Aww it's almost like Apple's Icon Garden brought back to life.
  20. really enjoyed BBC4's Micro Men. It captured a large chunk of Acorn's history very well and was surprisingly accurate with technical details
