From BBC3 comes My Life in Film, a great little comedy that will hopefully go beyond the 6 episodes already shot. Here’s a review of it. You can watch clips on the BBC website linked above. It looks like there’s one more episode so make sure to set it up in your Sky personal planner, [...]
This is the “oops” list! A series of photographs of unfortunate aviation events. Here’s a dramatic example!
In this article Jenni Russell “uncovers the hidden rules of the workplace”. How is your office environment? And if you want to annoy your collegues.. Follow some of these instructions!
Nice, the Yellow Pages on a9.com have photos of the places you’re looking for, as long as you live in the good ol’ US of A! I wonder if they got the permission of all building owners to take their photos. The images of all buildings built after 19xx are proteced by copyright. Ah, here’s [...]
It’s almost possible, but the results in this article on running Windows viruses with Wine are disappointing.

Stitching them together in the GIMP was fairly easy – adjust colours and brightness, line them up using semi-transparent layers and then use a layer mask and a gradient to make the joins mostly invisible. The tree branches [...]
I like F-Spot. It’s useful, it does tagging that no gqview and gthumb don’t. It has organisation features that they don’t have either, but it’s a little too buggy for widespread use yet. It was really easy to use however. Just “import” a few directories of photos, create a few tags, and then select a [...]
