WordPress 2.1.1 & Bad Behaviour

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Upgraded to WordPress 2.1.1 & have also decided to install Bad Behaviour to stop those naughty spambots.

So far I can report the editing environment for WordPress seems cleaner and more responsive and apparently Bad Behaviour has already blocked 3 bots within 10 minutes!

Ghost Rider is toilet

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Ghost Rider is the #1 film in the US, but they didn’t let critics preview it… why could that be?

Early History of Australian Beer

Monday, February 12th, 2007

“Beer drinking is as popular today as at any time in the past and is served in 1/3 of a pint glasses. This has the advantage of allowing Australians to claim to have drunk three times as many beers as they actually have. With this in mind, the amount that an Australian claims to have drunk should be divided by a factor of three to arrive at the correct figure.”

Slim Devices Squeezebox 3

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

I wholeheartedly agree with this review

Team one of these with a linux box under the stairs with a wireless card (I suggest Belkin) and you have a great home jukebox system.
