Barcelona humour.

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Black humour, really. And I like black humour, but this is not that funny. I was having a quick peek at http://infojobs.net/ to see the lay of the land in the web/tech sector in Barcelona and it’s not a pretty sight: companies looking for experienced analyst/programmers and expecting to pay 900€ a month - that’s NET […]

Dope on wax! (er, clay…)

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

This is quite a mad one - and yet obvious when you think about it. Pottery from thousands of years ago carries an ambient recording superimposed into the work of the artesan. A Belgian team have managed to extract the recording from a 6,500 year-old South American vase and some 1,000 year-old Latin from another […]

Hilarious comments on MacBook Pro shots

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

The fanboy comments on this flickr set of a new MacBook <gasp> Pro <gasp> being taken out of its packaging <gasp> are just hilarious! “I wonder if they make that outer MacBook package from the same cloth as nano sleeve.” “I still store my PowerBook with that foam condom before I put it in my […]

Wooden Clock

This is a pretty nice piece: a wooden clock that looks just like a plain block of wood when switched off. But when you switch it on the digital numerals shine through… nice.

ultra303 [TB-303 CPU replacement project]

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

The title says it all… well, no, it doesn’t really, does it? The ultra303 is an impressive mod for the Bass Line that not only completely replaces the CPU with a new one to add totally new features, but also has a very cool LCD display which looks at once out of place and comfortable on […]

MacIE no more <phew>

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

As a huge sigh of relief escapes most web front end developers around the world following Microsoft’s news of their dropping of IE for Mac, I’m quite looking forward to the fact that we’ll be able to test XHTML/CSS on Mac browsers that are more or less sane. It’s fairly amusing seeing MS recommend Safari […]

AJAX and all that jazz

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

I have to say, as a long-time non-fan of Javascript, the idea of depending on it to make things nicer didn’t really appeal. I think my subconcious was successfully preventing me from following those tempting links on Webreference, Sitepoint and of course Adaptive Path, promising me the ability to take my web apps to the […]
