- nikkoslack copies and pastes: "Microsoft is abandoning one of its most controversial attempts to dominate the Internet after rival companies banded together to oppose it and consumers failed to embrace it. The Redmond software company said Wednesday it would stop trying to persuade Web sites to use its Passport service, which stores consumers' credit-card and other information as Internet users surf from place to place." |

- I've had to make a few changes to the code behind this site because of a few comment spammers going wild with their rubbish links here. I'm lucky enough to escape from most comment spam as I run a home made system and the spammers tend to point automated scripts at popular applications like Movable Type or Wordpress. However, some of them still run through here from time to time, manually dumping their lists of URLs into various posts' comments. So, until I get time to build in better protection (mod_security is my friend), all HTML links inside comments will be stripped. Which means that if you legitimately want to point to an external site in your comment, people will have to copy-paste the naked URL in order to go there. |

- I tend to keep my vinyl-spinning antics separate from what gets posted here but I got several tellings-off the last time an event of this type took place and I didn't warn anybody. So, for all those people (and anyone else that needs their bass fix): I'll be spinning at the Boups New Year's Eve free party this Friday. To find out the location, call one of the numbers on the flyer after 22:00. |

- I am now convinced that Charly was delayed so that MGM could prepare a widescreen transfer. DVD Planet and Best Buy both confirm that Charly will be released in Anamorphic Widescreen on March 8th, 2005. Count this as another victory for OAR fans. I would like to thank Christopher Bligh ... |

- End of year snippet - a list (see below) of the year's most looked-up words on Merriam-Webster's website. I can see why many of these might have particularly intrigued lots of Americans - concepts associated with elections, weather, sport, the Iraq adventure and so on. But why do you think cicada and defenestration are there? 1. blog 2. |

- One reason for running Linux on an iPod...I wondered the other day why anyone would want to do this. One reason, kindly suggested by Paul Downey, is to be able to circumvent Apple's crippling of the iPod's recording facility (which will only let one record at a measly 8kHz) and push it up to 96kHz. Just what one would need for recording, say, live music at reasonable audio quality! |

- I am running out of Disk space, the culprit seems to be a Folder directly attached to the C drive with the name _RESTORE. It has a size of 4.25 GB, but when I look inside it only has 4 subfolders, one of which is TEMP which is taking up 2.21GB and ARCHIVE which is taking up 1.2GB I have gone to Restore in the operating system and there are only a few restore points back in May and April of this year. |
