Arthur’s got a bulging blogroll

0xDECAFBAD (I love that name) has a new design, powered by Blosxom. I like it. You’re going in my bulging blogroll, Les. Source:Time is Tight: 0xDECAFBAD v2.0 My referrer monitoring scripts have been out of action since shortly after I revised my site design, so I’ve been missing links. Today, I fired things up again for the first [...]

The A500 ain’t 3G

Sheesh. Okay, come back to us when you get a real phone. Source:Mobitopia: Slashdot – Life in 3G So says Mr. Beattie. And I say, “Hey, that’s my phone!” And then I say, “Oh yeah, that’s right, that’s my phone.” I like my phone, it’s a nice phone. I had a Treo Communicator, but it [...]

The Singularity vs Human Nature

Apologies in advance if this post-cum-essay runs a bit long… We could conclude that modern human intelligence is an unfinished product, and something that nature hasn’t quite got around to polishing yet. The problem-solving intelligence part can be tuned and revved up to high levels, but it becomes unstable like early supersonic jet prototypes that shook [...]

I want to trade my Gameboy Advance for a GP32.

It comes out the box with an English manual, a PC link cable, the GP32 uses PC smartMedia as its Hard disk and has 8meg of internal ram + its (upgradeable) OS, a USB port, a large hires screen (which is SO much better than the GBA one), two stereo speakers (one on each side), a joypad and 6 [...]

New release of BookmarkBlogger available

Playing with a few other little widgets here and there, I thought I’d fire off a new revision to the BookmarkBlogger for Safari I’ve been using off and on. This one’s a big more OS-X-ish, and uses a properties file for configuration instead of completely confusing command line options. ShareAndEnjoy! Also working on a lil DOM4J-, JTidy-, and [...]

.NET Newbie

So, while my time is mine, I’ve decided that I want to expand my practical horizons. And, one of the first things I can think of is to go lateral and approach something I’ve looked upon with mild disdain: Microsoft technologies. In particular: .NET I already understand Unix well enough to do damn near anything — this is [...]

No More Searchling?

So, as I’m working to recover all the old tools I knew and loved on my iBook, I see this on the Searchling home page: Work on Searchling has ceased to focus on its successor – iSeek. …and there are no downloads for searchling available, neither binary nor source. Harumph! And the screenshots of iSeek don’t please me much — I [...]

Pagination for Blosxom

Here’s a little something I whipped up last week: BlosxomPaginate. I’ve been using Blosxom and Blagg for my news aggregator lately, just for a change, and one thing I was really missing was some way to see entries that fell off the end of the front page. So, I made this. It lets me flip back and forth [...]
