Knoppix

For over a year now, I’ve been running Knoppix as my primary computer operating system… after my anti-virus program went crazy and ate my Windows XP installation, I just couldn’t face reconstructing it. So I burnt a copy of Knoppix to CD, and off I went. Never looked back - never even bothered installing to […]

Ball Chair

This is a cool looking office chair (cool as in just plain weird)… although I have to admit, I somehow the mental image of walking into a hip San Francisco dot.com built in a former warehouse filled with people sitting on these things just doesn’t seem likely to happen in real life — it […]

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (detailed information about how these things work, mostly Brit/Euro oriented, but goes into the technical nitty gritty and outlines possible applications, back end issues, etc. - very educational).

Spam Discussion/Analysis

Declan,
Saw this (anonymized) exchange on an org’s internal IT list, thought the commentary was interesting and informational and opinionated, and touches upon a (unfounded, in my opinion) suspicion (ISPs selling email addresses) that I think a lot of people share.

Enhancements to vi

As someone who got into Unix and Perl programming by running through the entire “vilearn” tutorial on a ancient VAX running some variant of BSD, I’m a confirmed “vi” fan… emacs has never been my editor.
http://www.calweb.com/~macklinr/goodies/vi.gif
Also see http://vigor.sourceforge.net/ and the associated User Friendly comic strips… had me laughing out loud.

Interesting site… mapping Google.

[Interesting way of visualizing where a web site sits in relation to other sites… if I understood the algorithm better, I’d probably understand the results better. For a simple site, like www.polygreens.org, for instance, they make total sense. For more complex sites, I’m unclear on how connections are made, since some of them seem really […]
