Cool!
Wikipedia can be a great source for fast and accessible information. The biggest concern with it where the information came from and how true it is. The great thing about a Wikipedia is that the content can be written by anyone and can be updated frequently and quickly. However, this is also it’s downfall. Twelve year old kids updating content on the wiki about prostate cancer? Yeah right….
Alas, Wikipedia will be implementing a feature called WikiTrust that will colour code every word on the encyclopaedia based on the the reliability of the author and the length of time that it has been on the page. So if your surfing Wikipedia for some fast information in the future and all of a sudden you get a technicoloured page that looks like regurgitated last nights pizza on it, don’t be alarmed.. it’s probably just some kid in some place regurgitating false facts that someone fed him and he swallowed.
Often I misplace user manuals for hardware and components. More than likely it’s never needed as usually I can figure something out if I play with it enough but sometimes the manual would just make it so much easier.
Try The User Manual Site if your searching for a long lost user manual.
If your anything like me, your desk is covered with cables running from here to there and back again, making it somewhat difficult to work with.
So then I found this method of tidying up the cables somewhat and preventing the birds nest that becomes of my desk and eventually results in a spilt cup of coffee.
Tetris fans rejoice, its about time soap shaped like tetris objects became available. You can buy them here.
I actually thought that this site was going to let me build a virtual squid proxy, but it was actually more like a squid character builder that you would find in Spore.
Good time waster all the same.
Case modding is getting a bit old these days, ode to the days when I used to look over the case mod section of Atomic magazine and dream of coming up with my own… every mod seems to fade into a fluro magentic blur of every other fan boyz design.
Now, the god of all case mods comes along. ‘Steampunk Frankenstein‘. A mod to finish all mods.
