Visited Real Groovy recently which is generally a fatal move in terms of placing a significant drain on my bank account and picked up the debut album from Jesu. Contrary to the name they're not a choir or religious group - the creative mind behind Jesu is Justin Brodrick of Napalm Death, Head of David, Godflesh, God, Final and Techno Animal fame.

Its very good - like a super slow detuned Godflesh crossed with the 'sunburnt' electronica from his Final ambient project.

I'm having a play with the Blosxom 3 alpha but so far getting it to do what I'd like seems like more hassle than its worth. I'll stick with v2 for awhile to come I think.

Fantastic overview of microscopy and the basics of image manipulation via some simple interactive java demonstrations at Molecular Expressions.

I'd love some of these on our roof - Solar Roof Tiles.

Serious nostalgia at Lemon64 which offers plenty of Commodore64 information and downloads.

I spent many hours trying to work out how to over-ride global directory listing prevention in apache via a php or perl script only to find that you can use a local .htaccess option to accomplish this on a directory by directory basis. Interesting site and its amazing that after googling all over it turns out the article is written by a kiwi :-)
