Thanks to the nice people from stickiwidget I can now be found on Pownce. It’s like Twitter on steroids 😉 . You can also share files and event with online friends.
I still have some invites left, so if you’re curious about Pownce, let me know and i’ll send you one.
From scifi.com:
Cast members of SCI FI Channel’s original series Battlestar Galactica
told reporters that they weren’t happy at first to discover that their
characters were Cylons, but they have come to terms with the
revelation in their own ways-and hinted the Cylons may not be what
they appear.
Added some photos I took recently to my flickr account. With some luck and paint.net some of the result are decent. Think this particular photo is one of the best so far.

Nice post on putting together a PC on codinghorror.
I have always put together PCs from parts, since you can at least pick what parts go into it. And it used to be cheaper, but that argument isnt valid anymore. Once you’ve put one together, you start the endless upgrading cycle. Bigger harddrives, new videocard, and eventually a new motherboard + CPU and maybe a new powersupply that can power all your devices.
Downside of this is, while upgrading you end up with all these spare parts, enough to put together a new PC. So you use that as a home server. Ok fine, oh more parts: you end up with a Multimedia PC hooked up to the TV. So far that’s all functional, but you also get these pcs that are ‘meant for testing OS [insert an OS here]’ and get booted maybe once a month ;).
Why not sell those spare parts on Ebay then ? I have done that in the past, but these days, they are hardly worth anything anymore. You cant sell a 40/80Gb drive or an Nvidia FX5700 (for which you paid E150) for a reasonable amount, that makes it worth the packaging and all the hassle that goes along with it.
Did I mention I also got a stack of leftover old scsi server stuff ? 😉
Very sad to hear this, during today’s Yankees – Giants game. Always enjoyed watching him pitch. He was found dead, alone in his home in San Diego.
Nicknamed “Shooter,” Beck played for the Giants (1991-97), the Chicago Cubs (1998-99) and the Boston Red Sox (1999-2001) before finishing his career with the Padres (2003-04). Beck reportedly was living in a camper behind the Iowa Cubs’ center-field fence when San Diego called.
The American Film Institute has released their annual list of the Top 100 Movies.
1 CITIZEN KANE
2 THE GODFATHER
3 CASABLANCA
4 RAGING BULL
5 SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
6 GONE WITH THE WIND
7 LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
8 SCHINDLER’S LIST
9 VERTIGO
10 THE WIZARD OF OZ
Their site has a nice tour of the top 100 and some other nice info / trivia. Can’t find much wrong with the list.
It’s remarkable Raging Bull has now entered the Top 10. The Searchers (John Wayne) from 1956 charged the chart from 96 to 12 !
Even if you’re only remotely interested in RTS games, grab the latest episode of tales of heroes. It’s a replay of a very long and close game of Company of Heroes with very entertaining and sometimes hilarious commentary by Bridger and Vitensby.
After watching the final episode all I could think was: ‘So this was it ?‘. A pretty lacklustre final episode, the only thing that was even close to exciting / interesting was the killing of Leotardo. AJ got really on my nerves this episode. And what happened to Tony’s huge gun ? Everybody thought it would play some sort of role this episode, only to be never seen again.
I watched the final scene a few times, and it sort of hints as if something is coming, but we all know Chase likes to suggest things that eventually never happen. I just think that this series, one of the best in TV history, deserved a better ending…
Anyway here are some links And ofcourse there is plenty more all over the blogosphere !
