Moo!

Posted on August 24, 2007 by Arthur

Via Smashing Telly, Dawkins’ “Enemies of Reason” (2 parts): Slaves to Superstition and Irrational Health System (I think that’s the title mentioned in Google Video). There is a hilarious scene in the second part, where Dawkins addresses the viewer after … Continue reading →

Sol

Posted on August 9, 2007 by Arthur

Today, I received my Solaris kit. The good news is that it arrived here ‘unharmed’. The bad news is that it didn’t come with a sticker. What, you mean, Sun can’t afford sending stickers? And no, Solaris 10 does not … Continue reading →

iBlackhole

Posted on August 6, 2007 by Arthur

Via Digg, I think, a NASA/MSNBC/Microsoft collaboration to show off the PhotoSynth technology: Space World. I don’t think I ever mentioned it here before: PhotoSynth is an application that can create interactive/3d-like environments from a set of photos. The technology … Continue reading →

4,4something

Posted on August 4, 2007 by Arthur

Alfons mentioned the ‘4400’ show, a series I’ve never heard of before. Apparently, it just started on its 4th season on USA Networks (I think it may be carried by NBC, not sure about this). There’s an extensive Wikipedia entry … Continue reading →

Certified Unix

Posted on August 1, 2007 by Arthur

I read that MAC OS X is now officially a certified UNIX product. Apparently you have to pay a lot to be officially branded as such (See Slashdot discussion). If you haven’t, now might be a good time to open … Continue reading →

Mashable

Posted on July 28, 2007 by Arthur

A couple of days ago, Mashable linked to here (because of my WP plugin CommentCentral), which caused an interesting backlog of affiliated sites to link here too: these sites ranged from other WP-like sites to sites that only show question … Continue reading →

Hot

Posted on July 27, 2007 by Arthur

More computer stuff: it was so hot today, that one computer just shutdown on me. Its fan was running constantly and I wasn’t too surprised to see it go out. Better leave it off too. The P-100 gave up earlier … Continue reading →

LCD screens (and savings)

Posted on July 4, 2007 by Arthur

I was reading this article at BBC’s (Gadget threaten energy savings) and was not really surprised about the finding that the larger the LCD screen, the more power they use, eventually, topping regular CRT screens (at and around 24 or … Continue reading →

Is it safe?

Posted on June 27, 2007 by Arthur

Last weekend, I was looking up the Numberwang videos at YouTube (earlier) and discovered that I missed one, the

The old new

Posted on June 24, 2007 by Arthur

Yesterday, I downloaded the ‘latest’ Eudora: Officially, there’s a team of developers working on the new open-source version of Eudora (based on Thunderbird, or something like that). Progress is slow, I hear (see also the Penelope project page @ Mozilla). … Continue reading →

Multi-meh

Posted on June 12, 2007 by Arthur

Meh: Earlier I found out OWL is a web ontology language and that it has nothing to do with the OWL that was wrapped in a box of Borland compilers (Wikipedia on Object Windows Library). Alfons should know more about … Continue reading →

Safari

Posted on June 11, 2007 by Arthur

So, you didn’t hear it here first (MetaFilter, Slashdot and Digg links) and to be honest, it caught me a bit by surprise. I’ve mentioned WebKit here before so, I’m not sure why Apple decided to bring the ‘iTunes experience’ … Continue reading →

MT, ToolTips

Posted on June 5, 2007 by Arthur

You may have noticed that version 4.0 of Movable Type has been officially ‘open sourced’ (at Digg). I prefer the rather more correct ‘Movable Type has been relicensed under a less restrictive (or more restrictiver, whichever you fancy) license’. After … Continue reading →
