As reported by Think Geek comes something you just *have* to have. No self respecting geek would be without an OLED based keyboard with 113 tiny screens, one for each key. Insane. I’m ordering mine right now.

Oh…price? Hah. A paltry $1,589.99

Hey, they even have a wikipedia page & home page here with a neat demo.

Wow, they don’t get any thinner than this. I came across this via John D. Halamka’s excellent blog.

And privacy takes another confirmed nose dive. Those of you who might have been living under the proverbial rock will be shocked, and the rest will just offer a mild grimace. News of echelon style fun and games from our North American friends. Does anyone really believe in privacy anymore? Isn’t a lack of privacy becoming an accepted standard now? What do you think?

Two spare Melbourne Big Day Out tickets!

I have two spare Melbourne Big Day Out tickets for Monday 28th January. These are as rare as all hell. Email/call me if you’d like them. Personal friends get preference especially if you’d like both. No gouging but you’ll need to cover my costs (AU$125/each+getting up really early and standing in the freezing rain for hours and hours waiting for the box office to open) - these are selling for ~AU$200/each on ebay.

Bought a new computer?

How about all the “extra” software which comes preinstalled and which you’ll likely not need? Found a site which with the pcdecrapifier tool will automagically remove all kinds of preinstalled software on XP and Vista. Brilliant. Really stubborn Norton apps may need special treatment.

The PC Decrapifier is a program designed to remove or uninstall a specific list of unwanted software in an unattended fashion. It can be used to clean off most of the annoying software that is typically shipped with newer PCs.

Great tip from Windows Tips & Tricks on how to change your Vista boot screen with free this tool…there is also lots of other neat software at their site.

Melbourne Pub Crawls

Ξ December 17th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Social |

Started a Facebook group “Great Melbourne Pub Crawls” open to anyone to join, but probably a good idea to sign up if you are actually located in the Melbourne area and or likely to partake in a crawl somewhere in this fair city. Had a great session on Saturday with the inaugural Richmond Crawl - lots of fun, much interesting and varied discussion plus some great variety in venues and beverages… the “Piss” at The Great Britain Hotel was a particular crowd pleaser.
