Death of blogger greatly exagerated? An email from Mathowie:

In case anyone was wondering when metafilter is coming back online, it won't be for a while.

The network host for Pyra's offices, FirstWorld/Sirius has cancelled the connection. They're no longer in the business of selling T-1 lines. They apparently emailed Ev to warn him last month this change would happen, but since he never reads his damn mail he must have missed it.

ugh. (btw, that means no blogspot, newsblogger, megnut, evhead, onfocus either, for a while)

4. The first cd i bought was Nirvana's Nevermind
5. I have Counting Crows' autograph
6. I once ate pizza every day for 4 months
7. I still have a massive collection of lego
8. I'm scared of the dark
9. I don't drink
10. I hate all animals

If i never type the phrase "inherent modularity" again, i'll be a happy man.

"So we're normal again now?". Those words made me so happy.

Monty is a good comic. Go read. The online comics i read religously are dilbert, diesel sweeties and calvin and hobbes. You should too.

"Punctuality is the virtue of the bored." - Evelyn Waugh

...but it's still a virtue. I should perhaps point this out to my lecturers.

RFC 1149 describes send data uses pidgeons. Some insane unix users actually did it.

There's no excuse for not checking out tml. James rocks.

You know the world has gone mad when a design zine links this site before DesigngraphiK, praystation, tpc and areiform in a gallery of 'great design' sites.

The cafe next door to our office has (for no apparent reason) stopped taking cash and will only accept 'charge cards' which can be charged using little machines next to the cafe. So i went in yesterday to buy a coke, armed with my card (as yet uncharged) and some cash to charge it with. It turns out that although the cafe is open all day saturady, the charge machines only operate on week days. So i had to pay in cash and the woman behind the counter had to go upstairs to get me my change. System stupidity factor: 10/10.

The excellent Orion at Introspect has created the eBusCard, a windows business-card application. Grab mine here
