Let’s see if I can blog this by email before my computer restarts automatically.
After you install some Windows Updates, Windows earnestly insists that you have to restart your computer as a matter of urgency. Apparently urgently enough to popup a dialog box that takes the focus from any other windows you may have open [...]
As a grammar nazi I notice trivial minutiae like this. Lately I’ve started using GMail to store and archive all my mail so that I can always get to my email no matter what computer I’m on. Maybe I’m lazy, or maybe I’m obsessive.
Anyway, since GMail started a couple of years ago, the [...]
Ask any red blooded Aussie and he’ll tell you. Poms are wankers. It looks like they’re finally coming to grips with themselves (hah) and celebrating their national pastime with a week long masturbate-a-thon, to be televised on Channel 4, whatever that is. Australians don’t even bother with channels below 7, except for [...]
Christian inspired me with his That’s Gold emoticon that he created for MSN to post up one of my own MSN experiences. It actually is also related to something being “gold” but I went for something a bit more generic and literal.
I’ve made a bunch of stupid, useless MSN emoticons to amuse myself [...]
I started using Windows Live Messenger in the last few days, and I like it. At first I was disdainful of people I saw upgrading just because it was a shiny new version and they just want to have the latest thing. But then I found out about two new features it has, [...]
Reckon Sol and Ziggy are morons? Try your hand at being a monopoly telco with Nokia’s Network Tycoon Flash game. Messing with plan prices, voice and SMS rates and marketing budgets, you also get to scatter your cell towers around the town.

Tonight I was disappointed to find that I wasn’t the first person to know about Wikimapia. It’s a collaboratively edited Google Maps mashup that lets you record places of interest with a description and tags. It’s the coolest thing ever.
Ever been using Windows and you stop to think for a minute resting your finger on Shift, then the computer makes a weird squeaking sound and then it says some crap about StickyKeys and you can’t type in lowercase anymore? Or use the numbers in the top row along your keyboard? Mm, yes [...]
Computers in real life are such a let-down. There’s no firearm-to-the-head augmented fellatio like in Swordfish, and there’s no animated 3D wireframe cities like in Hackers. If you’re looking at your digicam happy snaps you can’t just say “enhance” in the general direction of the computer to zoom in and identify the DNA [...]
As I discovered earlier today, if you accidentally leave your Google account signed in on another computer, anything that is searched for on that computer using Google will be recorded in your Google account’s Personalized Search Search History.
But what if you didn’t just leave your account signed in accidentally, but actually managed to remotely log [...]
