Aaron Boodman has an interesting article on creating popups that don’t suck. Anyone into web development or design should most definitely go check it out.

Never, ever, ever use the javascript: pseudo-protocol for anything, ever ever ever ever again. Please. Pretty please. The next time I click on a hyperlink, only to have it […]

EFF: Countdown to Grokster Argument

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005 at 16:15

Ever since the Betamax ruling in 1984, inventors have been free to create new copying technologies as long as they are capable of substantial noninfringing (legal) uses. But by the end of this year, all that could change. In MGM v. Grokster, Hollywood and the recording industry are asking for the power to sue out […]

I’ll probably be instituting a standard format for music reviews in the near future, but for now, I’m just gonna wing it…

A friend of mine (Jojo, the drummer of Scroll, another cool band) asked me to download his friends’ demo CD, because he’s on modem and I have a whopping 384 kbps link..

So I download […]

Yahoo Buys Flickr!

I can’t believe it. Yahoo is buying the best online photoshare community - Flickr!

This is going to be very very interesting. The integration (while trying to remain separate services) of the two should be awesome!

If you’re creating a website and looking for some ‘PHP powered’, ‘XML’, ‘RSS’ and similar buttons for your blog or web or whatever, Taylor McKnight has an interesting collection. Most of the buttons on this blog have been borrowed from his collection.

Who knew? Optical mice get dirty too.

When I bought my first optical mouse, I thought I said goodbye to cleaning the mouse forever. I bought a new workdesk 2 weeks ago and today I noticed a scratching noise while moving the mouse over the desk (I scrapped the mousepad after discovering the mouse likes the desk surface).

Anyhoo, I plop the mouse […]

Tommy Emmanuel concert

2005-03-15 - (Aquarius) Zagreb, Croatia

I just came home from a Tommy Emmanuel concert. This was the second time I went to one of his concerts (the first time being something like a year ago) and he managed to suprise me. Again.

The venue was pretty crummy, there were no seats whatsoever. So I ended up standing […]

I will be moving my old website to this WordPress-powered over the next few days. Anyone looking for old content, wait a few days. If you’re in a hurry, you can email me.

update: I have added most of the content from the old site… Some (most) of the info is outdated, some links are broken.. […]
