I honestly have no idea what’s happening here. Were the customers inside there closing accounts? Is that reason enough to close the branch and lock them inside? Why would security guards drag a woman into the bank? Was it because she was attempting to take names while she was outside the bank? Can they be [...]
Poor Phil, star of his own Youtube video, “Man hit in the head with a basketball”. Sore head? Yes, I just watched that episode of Modern Family. Great show. I hope they got their stop sign …
My wife called me out to the back garden tonight to see the bright object in the sky near the moon. She thought I might know what it was you see. I, uh, didn’t. I thought it might be Mars because of the colour but I knew how to find out! Google Sky Map to [...]
The Android Wikipedia page is quite a read. I’m particularly taken with the research into how “open” it is (not really, compared to other projects) as I’ve never seen a commit log or discussion of patches for it. Moreover, our findings suggest that Android would be successful regardless of whether it is an open source [...]
So you just bought Samsung’s new Galaxy S II smart phone. Nice isn’t it? One of the first things I noticed when I turned it on was the unusual blue colour cast on the screen. It’s impossible to capture in a screenshot but I soon found out how to fix it and promptly forgot about [...]

There is no #5. Since Google Reader doesn’t have the 3,200 post limit that Twitter has you can always get access to your [...]
Varnish is an open source, state of the art web application accelerator. What it does is make your existing site faster by caching requests so your web server doesn’t have to handle them. This helps because your web server may be a lumbering giant like Apache that is loaded up with extra functionality like PHP, [...]
Ah, one of my favourite movies of all time. Batman The Movie, released in 1989 with a fabulous Danny Elfman soundtrack. Videogame metal band Powerglove covered the main theme tune and put a crazy video game behind it. Here’s the original theme, much shorter. Powerglove added bits of their own. Metal fans will love it!
