Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Computer stuff
A friend of mine emailed this to me. It’s a little something for all you bubble wrap addicts who just ran out.
You’ll never run out of bubble wrap again. I particularly like Manic Mode. I know it’s not quite the real thing, but it’s good for a little mindless entertainment.
I had no idea RSS had such a storied history. Over at DiveIntoMark he writes about the 9 different incompatible RSS versions. There’s a lot more to RSS than I originally thought. Must make it tough on people who write software to read RSS feeds.
SecurityFocus has a really interesting article on hacking cable modems. The article talks about a clever hack to Motorola Surfboard cable modems to replace the firmware on the modem with something more customizable, and the obvious security implications. Imagine eavesdropping on your neighbours through your cable modem. An interesting article definitely worth reading if you have cable modem service.
There is hubbub over at Slashdot.
Decided to go for the PDA upgrade, so in a few weeks, I should have a new Tungsten T3 to play with.
A few people around here with Tungsten C’s asked why I didn’t get one of those with the cool wireless capabilities. Wireless is nice, but not important to me for what I want to do. I wanted the larger screen to make it easier to deal with the spreadsheets I use while I’m testing equipment.
Can’t wait till it gets here…
Looks like SixApart is ready to start alpha testing MovableType 3.0 soon. I’ll probably wait for beta testing to start, seeing as how there isn’t much activity on this blog to warrant being on the bleeding edge. But ifyou’re interested, drop them a line.
