Feed cleaning

The best way to clean out feeds you never read: reinstall Windows and forget to export your subscriptions.

Towel day

Today is towel day. Don’t leave home without a towel. I have mine around my shoulders. (That I just got out of the bath is a pure coincidence.)

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value — you can wrap [...]

Because I can

Colophon

I was thinking a bit about how to integrate a template system with MT so I could have non-blog stuff with the same visual presentation. Then I thought “to heck with it” and decided to just write it as a normal blog entry. This will be the about/colophon page.

Yet more pixel goodness

Various user interface graphics by Susan Kare, who has done (among others) the famous icons for early Mac, Windows 3.0, OS/2 Warp and more modern icons such as the icons used in Gnome. And don’t miss the cute t-shirts with her icons. Moof!

Kung-Tunes gains some Fu

After having used OS X for a couple of months, I agree with what he has to say. I still want an iBook.

On the horizon

Cool. I’ve been accepted by Atari as a beta tester for Horizons. I just can’t remember when I signed up for the thing…

I’ve been thinking about checking out some MMORPGs for a while. This looks like a good opportunity. I just hope there will be genuine role playing opportunities. If it’s just another hack’n’slash game, [...]

One word

Found via NSLog: a small site titled One word, so little time. You are given a word, and then get sixty seconds to write about what you think of when you hear that word.

I like the concept so much that I think I’ll steal it; every now and then I’ll go over there and check [...]
