The Wall - redneck style

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I’m listening to a podcast from the Dead guy hippy shit show which is featuring almost every track from the wall, not by Pink Floyd this time though but by

Luther Wright & The Wrongs. Its in blue grass / country style, banjo’s and stuff, really done very well. Specially good to listen to when you know the wall by heart, they even did the inbetween song sounds, if you get my drift…

 

Go listen!

Apple: Walk of shame

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

 

This guy is tired of waiting for apple to pick up his broken Mac and will prove that he can walk from Dublin to Cork (257 km, 160 miles) — the location of the nearest Apple repair center — faster than Apple can arrange for the pickup of his broken Mac.

Computer disintegration complot

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

 

Scott Adams (Dilbert) has figured it out: computers are designed to disintegrate after 2 - 3 years so you’ll buy a new one, just like the say they do with light bulbs…

Vista Coupons

Friday, August 18th, 2006

 

When buying a new PC with a windows xp license Microsoft adds a coupon for a Vista update, starting in October. Fair enough. But what’s the new hot feature for xp users to make them pay for an upgrade?

I was watching the last apple keynote speech last week in which Steve Jobs shows some of  the new features in the new OS x release. When watching a video, after ten minutes or so, my laptop thinks since there is no activity that the screen saver should pop up. I use the standard screen saver that comes with xp and every time it happened while watching the apple keynote it was a real disappointment to see the windows-xp logo show up.

Is there a vista video around that will have the same effect on me?

downsized blog

Dave Winer has a scripting news page especially for mobile viewing. I’ve been the proud owner of a Nokia N70 for some weeks now, and i can get on the internet at old-school 14k4 speed, and the Scripting News site is one of the fastest loading sites i like to check while waiting for my train.

If you want to design a website and also want it to work on mobile-devices then put the maincontent on top, and the mainnavigation just below that. I’ve tried reading my subscriptions in bloglines but that’s not working since the posts itself are at the bottom of the (rendered) page.
