And I can play Sokoban on it
I've been trying out CHDK now that I've got a Canon digital camera (PowerShot SX200 IS) that can run it. What geek could resist something that makes the camera fully scriptable ( Read more... ) -
MusicFAIL
Dear small bands: You don't want my money, do you? If you really, truly do: make it easy for me to give my money to you.
I was listening to SlayRadio, and they played a song by mind.in.a.box. I wanted to buy their R.E.T.R.O. album, but I'd like to get the MP3s only, not the physical CD. Checking their site, I can see where to get them ( Read more... ) -

Bicycling and mapping
I got a bicycle last wednesday. Been biking about 25km a day since then, and have been adding lots of new roads to OSM. I think I'm getting used to it already: no more sore ass! -

90% of everything is ...
Perl CPAN FAQ says:
How do I install Perl modules?
Installing a new module can be as simple as typing perl -MCPAN -e 'install Chocolate::Belgian'.

Where's My DVD?
Don't order from dvdsource.co.uk; it took them only 15 days to dispatch the item after receiving payment. -

I just ordered a T-shirt with a custom NetHackish image on the back. Took me quite a while to find a place on-line that does short runs of black shirts with print on the back. Now I'll be ready for RopeCon!
