Yea, I’m back in the “convert something to PDF” mindset. This time it’s HTML. Had a meeting with J and P at Moxies in Surrey (fantastic enciladas by the way) and at the end sort of realized that doing things as an HTML to PDF conversion instead of a PDF with inserted text thing would […]

The PhatBox even has voice control and feedback (ie: speaking the names of artists as you scroll through them). Horribly geeky and expensive, but the demo makes it seem pretty nifty. Oh, and I’m finding it (or other musical devices) just in time for the ArcterBirthday! Yes, I know I don’t have a hope.

Well, me and Fred wandered down to the new Paralynx offices (nice digs) dropped off a case of Guiness for Tom and Ken who have gone above and beyond the call of duty more than once to help a non-paying hanger on (me) with various things, picked up the (huge) server and headed out. The

Forget where I saw this at, and I’m sure it’s old and busted, but still amusing. I always knew I was ahead of my time. Which OS are You? [archive.org link]
Lance [archive.org link] has a great post about meeting people and how to identify other interested parties. He came up with The Inqueery Gesture [archive.org link], a shoulder shrug (SYN) followed by the confirmation by lip lick (SYN,ACK) or denial by scowl (NAK). Nothing to close the handshake like sequence though, maybe walking away could
