I’ve now got this site running on my new server at Bytemark which I’ve been quite impressed with, so far. The only thing that I’ve noticed as a little slow is compilation of new stuff (I’m using Gentoo, so that’s obligatory) but what do you want with 64Mb?! That, of course, can be upgraded… Even Tomcat seems to run OK (no real testing done as yet).
Check Bytemark out if you want full root access to a well-connected server at a decent price.
So, while I’m not convinced about Deco, Leo Messi *really* looks like the genuine article. One to watch for sure.
Not bad, this Faria Alam bird, but not *my* type… googling for Faria.
The Economist had an interesting, if brief, article on Dennis Ritchie, Unix, C and other goings on at The Labs.
I’ve just installed Gentoo Linux for the first time and I definitely like its style. Very slick, and emerge is very nice. It was quite good fun trying to get support working for NForce networking, but not particular harder (and certainly a lot clearer) than getting it work in Mandrake 9.x.
Now, this I like: PearPC is officially the awesome-est thing I’ve seen for a fair bit. And me about to buy a bloody iMac just to test sites on… Anyways, it certainly does the trick for Safariing around and all that stuff that you do with a Mac.
So, while I’m happy about Larsson and Guily, I’m definitely not convinced about Deco. Good player and all that, but why can he not stay vertical for more than a couple of minutes?
How to misquote: a lesson in bad journalism from Mobilemag.com. Nicola Bruno’s account of the Kodak DCS SLR/c review in Digital Photograph Review [sic] is a masterclass in not knowing your subject and freely chucking in partial snippets of quotes from somewhere else to produce a piece. And I quote: “The first 14 megapixel digital SLR” – it’s not 14Mp, and whatever it is, it’s got exactly the same sensor as the last Kodak dSLR; “The Kodak DCS Pro is now the second camera to have a true 35mm size sensor” – it’s not even called DCS Pro; “it’s also the only camera to support Canon mount lenses”; “the capability to capture images at 4560 x 3048, 19 of them in RAW format in only 1.7 seconds”. She goes on to say “Read more from the source.” Good idea.
The BBC news site reports that Henrik Larsson will be signing for Barça. Well, his agent “claims he is close to signing for the Catalans.” Hope so. I think Ronaldinho might just be able to provide a goal or two for Henrik.
