Making things useful, getting stuff done

Pizza, Old SciFi Plots and Dead Things

  • Pizza from the command line — if it’ll work in the UK that’ll make final year a bit easier to get through 😉
  • Itunes prices going up — “That will really ingratiate the public and discourage piracy, won’t it?”, as they quote in the article; via Slashdot
  • Crazy list of icons and components — could come in useful someday; via Paranoidfish
  • Pushing up Daisies is the store for everything death-related you could ever desire; via Neil Gaiman
  • Again from Mr Gaiman comes these spoof logs of Saddam Hussein’s interrogations — worth a read 🙂
  • How to ask questions the smart way — great little guide on how to ask good questions and get them answered well. Blogging as external memory for my final year project that is looming in October. via Dan Moore!
  • Planmaker 2004 compared to Excel and OO — interesting look at a native Linux spreadsheet package comparing very well to the bigger beasts, via /.
  • MIT Usability Guidelines, via Clock
  • African Open Source Development
  • A list from Strange Horizons of old, tired storylines they don’t want to see more of, via BoingBoing
