- Hi there, I am a senior high school student currrently looking into courses for college in the near future (next year or the year after) My main interest has been in graphic design, however I also enjoy web page design, public relations, and other such careers. So, you can probably tell I could pretty well go anywhere with interest Anyhow, I was hoping i could get suggestions for colleges and courses to take in order to help me to acheive these goals. Also, what high school courses you found helpful for college (i have already checked out prerequisites for most colleges in ON, just wondering what you personally found helpful) I am located in ontario, canada, and have not yet discovered where most posters here are from. Thanks for your help! Kath |

- February 28, 2005 OSNews has posted lengthy and interesting review of Xandros' latest free desktop Linux. At this point in time, Xandros is about as close as you can get to a Windows-like plug-and-play Linux desktop. Defintely worth checking out, especially if you're new to Linux. |

- An anonymous reader writes "Take a look at 'The Insecure Indexing Vulnerability - Attacks Against Local Search Engines' by Amit Klein. This is a new article about 'insecure indexing.' It's a good read -- shows you how to find 'invisible files' on a web server and moreover, how to see contents of files you'd usually get a 401/403 response for, using a locally installed search engine that indexes files (not URLs)." |

- Just get Sky to outbid the BBC for the rights to the Oscars, and then pretty much ignore the entire awards ceremony, in favour of: - constant plugs for the Scissor Sisters and Elton John - not coincidentally, Sky's pathetic presentation of the Oscars is brought to you from Elton John's party - The most exciting thing about the Oscars this year was that Chris Rock was presenting it. So what do Sky do? Cut down his witty bits to a three-minute opening prologue, and leave him out of the rest of the show. - have presenters who are far more obsessed by the parties and the costumes than the films and the awards - put Amanda Byron on the pink carpet for the party, and have her ask all the actors and actresses what they're wearing. |

- (Yet another bloody meme about compiling the greatest album list of all time. Although of course consuming music via albums is merely a commercial/technical hangover from the 1950s-1990s. We're all now getting to grips with an era of consumer choice when we can get just the song we want for 79p each - hell, I just showed one of my computerphobic but muso-obsessed friends the power of iTunes UK. There won't be a similar list circulating the galaxynet in 2047...) Anyway... |

- I am paying very serious attention to the idea of going to the United States between 11 and 24 March, mainly to get rid of all the leave I still have outstanding. I've already been quasi-invited to San Francisco and Sarasota to see some old friends (well, not that old) ... but if you're feeling bored during that time period and want to hook up / offer me your sofa to sleep on / go for wild nights on the town / offer me marriage (or anything really), then please please feel free to let me know :-) |

- Never mind global warming, the war on Iraq, the rise of religious fundamentalism or the fact we'll all be under house arrest soon. UK Star Trek fans are planning to hold a rally to try and save Star Trek: Enterprise. Even though it's already been cancelled for good reasons. Even I stopped watching it (that theme tune really got on my nerves). |

- One of the things drilled into me (not by choice) during my Louisiana State University journalism course was that for a feature story, an opening paragraph should ease you into the article in a warm cozy manner, emphasising the human interest angle. To me, that comes at the expense of the story itself - or "burying the lead" to use the American media parlance. This CNN.com story shows what I mean. (Spotted via Boing Boing) There's a huge 2,000-ton pile of cow manure in Nebraska that self-ignited and has been burning for three months now. |

- It was just another normal dull Sunday afternoon. I'd come back from Cantonese class, and was making a stab at the washing-up, when suddenly the doorbell rang. Outside the door was a long-time e-friend, who I shall name Arizona Gal. I was delighted to see her, and knew she was in the country, but obviously wasn't expecting to see her. Especially in Cardiff. |

- Thanks to the UK Weblogs Aggregator, I occasionally skim past the latest entry from Smoking Women Are Sexy, about the exploits of a "non-smoking teenager trying to get to grips with my (his) smoking fetish". He'd occasionally sneak pics of women smoking via his cameraphone, and upload them onto his blog - which of course leads to non-hilarious consequences when he gets caught, never mind the moral/ethical implications of what he was doing. Usually, I'd catch the latest entry, smirk snobbily at the boundary-less limits of human sexuality and fetishes thanks to the Internet, and move on. It's now the blog's first birthday and he's managed to do something that somehow doesn't work for me - he got a date with a smoking woman via the blog. She even let him light a cigarette. |

- During the occasionally-traditional Friday night drinks, I end up at the award-winning Toucan Club at their Welsh-language music evening, watching The Gogs doing their energetic head-moshing rock thing. And watching the crowd, because I've had way too much drink at this point (4 pints, probably) to do much but observe. At one point, a short girl with shockingly pick bouffant hair comes in. Which makes a huge change from the uniform of skinny dyed-blonde-hair girls with handbags and boys with short hair, shirts and trousers at the club. (Not that I'm any different of course). |

- It'd be nice to think that in this new all-design millennial era, the archetypal pony-tailed square-spectacle-wearing ice-cool (blue, naturally) designers of the world would conduct their flamewars with a little more class. My mate has finally made it into the hallowed halls of the CSS Vault Gallery for his contribution to design. A tad minimalist, but it does the job and I'd probably rip off research his CSS code to find out how he does a few tricks. If I knew how. Amusingly, however, it wasn't long before his entry got encumbered with a flame war, and insults like "Rich you're a twat... |

- They've released the first proper trailer for The Hitch Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy. On first glance, it looks suitably insane, zany and downright weird with fantastic special effects. It's going to be a good month for British sci-fi fans, what with this and Doctor Who later this month. Anyway, watch the trailer (legally via Amazon or a dodgy Quicktime version, and in the shot with the alarm clock, you'll see a BBC pass lying on the table. Nice touch! |

- Being a total Flickr fan (so much so I might even pay for a year's subscription soon!), one of the great things about it is the way you can tag photographs to designate them a certain category, in much the same way that you can do that with Gmail. Naturally, you can also give photographs multiple tags. I've just downloaded Picasa, a new bit of photo management software. It's got lots of pretty features, but the main reason I'll use it as opposed to my existing "throw the pics into a specific folder in Windows and hope my memory copes" method is precisely the ability to multipally tag pictures. |

- Once in a blue moon, I'll go and see a film without having read any reviews. I went to see Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), hoping for an action film that was slightly above the norm. Nope, it was absolutely average in every way, shape and respect. The main character had to have some extra motivation, the main enemy would be likeable, and it followed the three-act structure to the letter (just like Speed, in fact). None of the so-called action sequences were exciting and was just dull, dull, dull. |

- After having forgotten a friend's birthday, I really need to find a service that'll email me when it's close to someone's birthday. An easy-enough service you'd think, but it's fraught with problems. Especially when I want one that'll let me transfer the data around - the rest are so protective. Plus one that I can trust to actually email me, and ideally one that interfaces with my Nokia phone. So far, I think I've got various birthday and anniversary reminders dotted with Yahoo, Plaxo, BirthdayAlarm and Mozilla Calendar. |

- Popped out for a dimsum Sunday lunch yesterday. On the way back we bumped into the defacto Chinese dragon dance ritual that's inflicted on Chinatowns everywhere about this time. The interesting thing about this one is that, as far as I can tell, there wasn't a single Chinese person involved in the ritual - they were all white. This is either: - a fantastic example of Welsh multi-culturalism at work - Cardiff is a city where nobody is interested in their own culture - Chinese people in Cardiff are bored with Chinese-ness - it's another way of meeting the sexy Chinese girls that seem to entrance a particular brand of person - it's been like this for years and I've only just noticed |

- Came back from London to find a motley collection of mates celebrating Wales' rugby victory over Italy, and simultaneously a mate's birthday. For said birthday drink celebrations, he'd brought over some friends from his hometown. At one point, a small crowd of Welshmen (including some actors from Pobol Y Cwm - oooh, I am just having a celeb-filled weekend) started boisterously singing some rugby anthems. Drunkenly, of course, and with great joy and gusto yn Gymraeg - if not actually singing ability. This actually scared the crowd of Englishmen enough that they eventually relocated to another pub. |

- Surely, it's best left with the individual user? After all, if they want a seperate window then they can simply right click on it and select "open in new window". If you want to go down the pop up route then why not make the extra effort and offer both options? We sometimes try to offer (or restrict) behaivour without thinking about the usability functions that browsers provide by default. I've seen websites that offer a "increase/decrease font size" button and yet don't resize if I choose the re-size option in the browser menu. |

- Bem, então vou tentar voltar ao meu fim de semana entusiasmante e energético. Sinto assim como quando vou ver alguns filmes. Ao sair da sala sinto-me também entusiasmante, energético e cheio de ideias. Muitas vezes nem achei o filme nada de especial, por vezes são daquelas americanadas que contam a mesma história com muita técnica, outras vezes são filmes tecnicamente pouco bons mas com um argumento inteligente, às vezes é simplesmente um pequeno pormenor sem importancia que me fez um click e me deixou a pensar. A mente parece pronta para dar a volta ao mundo num segundo, o bem estar envolve todo o corpo, parece que sentimos o nosso campo energético a vibrar. |
