Practical creative commons
Thursday, March 30, 2006
When I first heard about the idea of the creative commons licence (CC), I was immediately enamoured. In a world where one boggles at the amount of lawsuits over naming trifles, the idea that you can publish content under a licence that allows free non-commercial distribution and modification, seemed like a blessing. I quickly put [...]

Welcome to my new space. I wanted to move to WordPress for a long time, and its finally happened. Questions, you have? Why I moved Blogger was becoming way too clunky, even for its normal operations I wanted more features (categories, comment RSS, total customization I was going to buy web hosting anyway for a [...]

FBPNN: Smenita – the sentient life form accidentally created by moving electrons
Friday, March 24, 2006
There was a theory once that if you put enough monkeys typing gibberish on typewriters, by the law of averages they would eventually produce an entire Shakespeare play. It would appear that the day when we have enough monkeys has indeed arrived – there are 250 million Google searches a day. Not only typing gibberish, [...]

Kororaa Xgl Live CD
Thursday, March 16, 2006
The latest linux buzz is Xgl, a new graphics subsystem which Novell is pushing, with uber-awesome graphical desktop effects. I decided to try out Kororaa, a Gentoo-based live-CD distribution which runs Xgl. Xgl, along with AIGLX will form the Linux response to Quartz extreme and Aero Glass on Mac OS X and Windows Vista respectively. [...]
Bug Oscars 2006
Thursday, March 16, 2006
This happens to me about once every year or two. I come across the hardest or the weirdest bug I’ve ever faced in my whole life. I still remember one of the first – in class 8, I was making a BASIC program to show large banners on the screen. At that time of course, [...]

MediaCentral for Mac OS X
Sunday, March 12, 2006
Convert any Mac (well, 800 MHz G4+ Mac) to a media center. Awesome piece of software. I’m seriously thinking about buying the USB Powerbook remote to really use this well on my 20-inch Dell. Of course, you can control stuff with the keyboard, but that ain’t as much fun as lying on the bed and [...]
