Dont move an xbox360 while it is on unless you want to have to replace scratched DVD’s!!!! Doh!

Ok it was annoying me having to check when new desktops where available on Pixelgirl.com (great great great website!!!!) so I made a quick PHP script to build an RSS feed for it.

You can test it out here (temporary location till a few bugs are fixed with the script)

Hope this is useful to a few people

UPDATE :: LINK CHANGED

Just a quick post for anyone using delicious social bookmarking and also using a mac. Delicious is a great way of storing all your bookmarks online so that you can view them on any browser on any computer in the world, but its a bit of a pain to have to go to the delicious site everytime you want to get a link that you saved….

Now if you’re using OSX on a mac then you “should” really be using Quicksilver for which you should download the del.icio.us plugin. This lets you search your delicious links direct from your desktop by either title or by tags, tags are not immediately obvious but if you search for a tag just push the right arrow key and it with display all links related to that tag.

Gonna be moving my blog over to a new server soon and then will be able to mark each post so anyone not interested in the geeky stuff can just filter it out

Here’s one for you Dara, its not little monkeys Im afraid but think you’ll like it none the less

Ok, so during a bit of “boy time” me and Chix were pondering the world and trying to figure out why there were 24 hours in a day… not sure how we got onto the subject but the answer (if google is to be believed) is as follows:

At which point Bryan crooked his right thumb to touch the base of
his right index finger (please follow along and do it, too), and said,
in much the same way as a Sumerian might have, 4,000 years ago…
"One."

He then moved up a notch – see that? Each of your fingers has three
distinct segments. I never really noticed that! – and, touching now
the middle segment of his right index finger with his right thumb, he
said… "Two."

I think you may sense where this is leading. By the time your right
thumb has counted each of the three segments of his neighboring four
fingers, you’re up to 12.

Long before people were reading with their lips, one imagines, they
were counting with their fingers.

So a day was divided into 12 segments, called hours; and, too, the
night.

So there you have it, QED

Did this a little while ago and posted a small image on my blog. I made it into a desktop and thought Id share with anyone who wanted it. This is for a 1280×1024 size screen, may post up some different sizes if people want them.

For all the mac users you can share your iCal calendars (either publicaly or privately) for FREE @ www.icalx.com.

Very nice! Means that you can see someone else’s schedule overlayed onto yours from within iCal.
