Love this. A little blog with ideas on personal productivity, productivity gadgets, and so on. As the site says:

Computers make us more productive. Yeah, right. Lifehacker recommends the downloads, web sites and shortcuts that actually save time. Don't live to geek;
geek to live.

But oh dear, it *looks* as though the ships still fly using that same crappy control system from the first Battlefronts.

Just came across this interesting site about a guy who loves exploring places that he shouldn't be going, like the Parisian catacombs. Great site to while away a coffee break.

Rousseau in Lost

rss feed for this post's comments

In case you're ahead of the showings here in the UK, do you know who Rousseau (the French woman that kidnapped the Iraqi guy and who was the voice on the transmission) was in a former life?

Ambassador Delenn in Babylon 5 is a big pile of....

Sorry - force of habit :-) And an in-joke to the usual suspects.

Anyways...

She's Croatian.

But I'll bet the Americans don't notice. You'd think with their Canadian neighbours, they'd recognise a French accent, non?

Classic lyrics

rss feed for this post's comments

I'm just singing along out loud (it's OK - no-one else is in the flat) to Don't Marry Her by The Beautiful South. Which contains the following gems:

She's a PhD in "I told you so"
You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening"

...

When your socks smell of angels
But your life smells of Brie

...

She's a diploma in "just hiding things"
You've a first in "low esteem"

...

Classic!
