jsan is finally alive [via aaron]

on the day i request a desk as far from the window as possible, penny arcade is describing my life.

mr salt has located some excellently geeky clothing made from computer and electronics nerdery.

aaron recommends the house of nanking for chinese. must try it.

microsoft's upcoming MSH (ms shell) is a neat little bash clone. should make building apps on windows alot easier.

i keep meaning to try miranda. version 401 just released.

defunker has some good shirts (they're reselling a bunch of threadless). isn't that the internet's own jason kottke?

wow. i totally have a debian package. in STABLE ffs.

real life counter strike, via yoz and some others. great fun - the movements are spot on, and suitably ridiculous.

lea points out this lovely film, 'le-building'. beautiful style.

those scamps at oreilly are publishing a perl style guide by sir conway - must be required reading.

i missed the cotton wool echo. which was a shame - i'd like to see the old rat & parrot bunch again.

this guy's lego mechs are amazing. very nice work

schwern's post about JSAN is pretty interesting. especially the loading-direct-from-repos stuff. mmmmm

it also links to geocomtex, a bizarre site linked to the media episode.

the new bbc badwolf site contains a summary of the bad wolf references so far.

cvsspam looks pretty cool. we're currently using a perl-based cvs logger at flickr, which is workign well for us - viewcvs links instead of inline diffs. otherwise the mails would be huge.

neil matheson found the solution to my stylus woes - replacement retractable styluses for the p900. i've ordered one and will report back on it's effectiveness.

the us patent office gives out some crazy patents. nice site.

word of the day is tittle.

this games manifesto has many excellent points and makes me want to start playing HL2 again. mmmm

i'm currently rewriting the X:P:L:T:X module using the CADT model, but i have an excuse. as it, it can't really toke properly and gets too confused. a new tokener is done and seems to be working. just need to tree it and evaluate it.
