A very cool 404 Page Not Found error from homokaasu. Note that Homokaasu is the home of the very cool Rasterbator - which turns any image into a huge rasterised poster.

The A to Z of Programmer Predilictions. I'm sure some of the people I used to work with can ID a number of these traits in their development teams. I'm probably similar to Process Peter (lack of basic process drives me insane) with a bit of Quiet Quincey (at the end of the day you just need to get the job done regardless) thrown in.

Excellent - lots of prebuilt Qemu OS images (most under 1Gb) at OSZoo. Including FreeBSD, Debian, Plan9, Fedora, Mandrake, SuSe, Slackware, Ubuntu, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris + more.

Arstechnica provides some information on the latest Itanium update.

Howto - Setup a chrooted SSH environment.

Handy - Truecrypt. Open source Windows/Linux virtual disk encryption. Useful for USB keys. I wonder if it will read/write virtual volumes written on other platforms ? Having a virtual encrypted disk that can be mounted on Windows, Linux, OSX would be really handy.

A cool approximate time watch from Talus.

Doing the rounds - Chatfu converts your IM session into a Cartoon.

Linked previously but they're so neat I need to link again - Orikaso make flat-pack plates, cups and bowls you assemble as required.

I've read some great reviews of this PS2 game - Shadow of the colossus. I really liked the cinematic quality of Ico so this might be one to get.

Familiar to 'The Da Vinci Code' readers - Cryptex. Own your own custom made one.

NPR has some concerts available for download. Some seem to be streamed and some you can get as mp3. Stuff like James Brown, Sigur Ros, White Stripes + others.

Also doing the rounds - surprising it hasn't appeared on slashdot yet - Radio Controlled Steam Powered Vehicles.

Just plain silly - Oh my god theres an axe in my head - in 112 different languages.

Just to show theres a Wikipedia article on almost everything - Wellington City 'street icon' Ben Hana. I wonder why no one has an article on 80's/90's icon 'Kenny' - a Kenny Rogers look/sound-alike that used to play his guitar opposite the theatre in central Wellington ?
