Just read about Joel Spolsky's trouble opening a DVD case. Now, I've got a lot of respect for about 3/4 of what he writes, and complete contempt for the rest... Today he rants about the trouble he had opening the Office 2007 DVD case . Apparently its
Okay, this is slightly nerdy, but hey, I thought it was interesting... Notes on the Resolution and Other Details of the Human Eye . Apparently its equivalent to a 576 megapixel camera... Cool.
Go check out Photosynth that Microsoft Live Labs has put together... Very cool.
Just did yet another Brainbench test the other day, as part of the hunt for a contract job... Thought it might be interesting to share the results I've had over the time: Date Subject Score [1] Percent [2] 13/12/2004 VB.NET 4.31 98% 09/02/2005 MS SQL

Been reading about , watching a few screencasts , and even doing a bit of Atlas development, with ASP.NET. Damn, I'm loving it! Its going to make life sooo much easier. Now, just have to get away from doing the ancient (and extremely painful) ASP that
Just managed to setup the T-Mobile email to txt service... I'm really not sure how useful it is, but if you so desire, you can send a txt via email to me at xxx@t-mobile.uk.net ... Suprisingly, the xxx is my phone number... I'm assuming you've got it.

Finally, instead of purely Microsoft bashing, law-makers have finally realised that the iPod is anti-competitive. French law-makers have approved a law forcing Apple to make its music format available to other manufacturers, rather than only allowing
Okay. Just finished a site update to the esoteric oneroundpebble , so its now hip, happening, and with it, for the 21st century. Or something. But, anyhow, hope you like the new colour scheme, and if you dont, well, there's not a lot you can do about
