  1. The Hippy Test A checklist of telltale hippy-being symptoms.
  2. Standards by Virtue of Shouting Louder or “omg it si t3h stand4rd lol”
  3. Pinky and the Darkness That last entry was pretty vitriolic, wasn't it? This one's much nicer.
  4. Google Desktop 2 Really Annoys Me Google's trademark people might not want to read this.
  5. November Yeah, I know. No entries for a while.
  6. Off to York I'm off back to York today; I'll be back on the Internet ...at some point.

  8. Party Shuffle on Crack Seems it's possible to add your entire iTunes music library to the Party Shuffle just by misdragging the Library icon into the main window.
  9. Magically Disappearing Extensions Warning: this entry contains Mozilla-related minutiæ... or Mozillinutiæ if you will.
  10. Bigger than an iPod nano Why, it's iTunes 5
  11. Le singe est dans l'arbre This may be running the risk of descending into linkblog territory, but anyway: this article about hidden settings in Mac OS X Tiger includes a nice reference to Eddie Izzard. The screenshot for the bit about spellchecking in a second language uses Le singe est dans l'arbre as a sample French phrase.

  15. Google Desktop 2 Fourteen hours too late.
  16. Microsoft Desktool MSN Windows Search...top...bar Now you can look at things stored on your computer... using MSN!!!

  23. Atom 1.0 Coming Soon It's been on my to-do list since Rakaz published his guide to moving from Atom 0.3 to Atom 1.0, but now I've modified the Mooquackwhatnotbot to produce an Atom 1.0 feed.

  25. Planet X-3: Pluto Still Isn't a Planet, Neither Are 2003 UB313 and 2003 EL61 They finally found it - again - another tenth planet, this time unnamed but temporarily designated 2003 UB313. It was also announced yesterday that 2003 EL61 may be roughly 70% Pluto's size.
  26. The Style Switcher is Dead; Long Live CSS I've killed the Style Switcher - see? It's just an empty shell of a page. This is mainly because I've killed the multiple styleage.
