24, Season 3 — An Extract

IT Support Lady: “We’re starting to overload the network. When the virus threat came in, we had to start stealing cycles from the main CPU.”
Michelle: “Offload the archive files and send them to division. That should free up the network.”
IT Support Lady: “Fine, that’s all I needed to know.”

That oughta do it.

Meandering [RSS]

Aimless wanderings from around the big ol’ interweb…

Sleeveface
My new favourite blog.
Offbeat Guides
A really neat new service for compiling custom travel guides, which are then available as a PDF or in print. The events list for around the time of your stay is particularly nice.
KavaMovies
An interesting new application for managing your movie collection. With a few more features, this could be quite useful.
Cursebird
What the f#@! is everyone swearing about on Twitter?
Ack In Project
A Textmate bundle for using ack for project searches in Textmate. It's a ton quicker than the built in project search.
TinEye
Impressive image search technology which aims to find similar matches to images across the web.
Multicolr Flickr Search
Search 10 million Flickr images by colour.
Kayak
A really powerful flight search tool. I really like the interactive sliders for refining flight times, trip durations and the like. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this before!
Lab Tick
Manually adjust the keyboard brightness on Apple laptops - something that's not supported by the OS.
HostsWidget
Allows manipulation of /etc/hosts right from the dashboard. It also flushes the DNS cache automatically.
Zattoo
Live streaming of pretty much all UK terrestrial channels. It seems to work really well.
The Twitterverse On Glossy Displays
Considering Apple's seemingly relentless desire to give us all glossy displays, the consensus doesn't seem to be pro-gloss. That's because glossy displays are WRONG.
Earth From Above
A fantastic looking photographic exhibition in New York, running in May and June next year. See today's Boston Big Picture for many great photos from the photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
Remote Buddy
Very impressive looking remote application for Apple Touch devices to control desktop Macs.
Photo Aging Project
Dan Hanna's pretty amazing photo-a-day project, which so far has two photos for every day for the past 17 years shot in sync with the rotation of the earth around the sun.
