I already use this plugin. Those of you who IM with me, and don’t want AOL keeping logs of it, are encouraged to do likewise.
I’m midway through the second one.
Dan Sandler: Funny bloke. I wonder if the Gentoo Marketing team might like to take up that slogan.
Excellent article on the scam (or possibly scamola) that is CherryOS.
Mac-ified version of lsof.
Sully’s Tees update their classic (but now redundant) “This Is Our Year” shirt for 2005.
Aimee Mann (who I love. Love. LOVE!) is sharing tracks from her forthcoming album. And it’s BLUDDY GRATE!
Gentoo Building
I get my geek thrills by installing Gentoo, the Linux distribution that lets you build everything from source.
It takes a long time (especially on my 4-year-old Pentium 3 laptop), but it makes me happy!

Extreme Programming-focused project-planning tool. Initial signs point to: “Me likey a lot”
Auntie are streaming the whole Red Nose Day show tonight.
Interesting purchase by MSFT. Groove was destined to be huge when “peer to peer” was the Next Big Thing. Wondering what their purchase brings to MSFT, apart from a new CTO.
Has it been five years already? *sigh*. Those halcyon days when I figured I’d be comfortably retired by 40.
This is what a horrendous service-debilitating systems crash looks like. Good to know.
Synergy is Overloaded
Kellen commented yesterday that the word Ruby is Overloaded in his life. In the last three days, I’ve experienced the same thing with “Synergy”.

Now this is interesting… a Linux LiveCD which, when used in a CD-R drive, can save your home directory back onto itself on shutdown.
Fascinating British loans system. Minimises risk for those with money to lend, and minimises costs for those looking to borrow. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.
Tim Bray provides “Ten Reasons Why Blogging is Good For Your Career”. I agree 100%, and have the job to prove it!
Citizens Bank’s new logo
Looks somewhat familiar, reminding me of my student days when the RBoS made my penniless days miserable. I wish Bank of Scotland or Clydesdale owned a local bank. I'd join in a flash!
Not the Mac iTunes app — The kick-ass keyboard + mouse sharer, if you have two computers and two monitors on your desk. Ace!
