Wow - IBM Power6 to 6GHz. Looks like Sun should watch its back :-)

I'm now a fan of LUA - heres the proof: LUA Makes You Safer. Of course if you have developers or people that actually need extra rights then you need to rely on their good sense to avoid nasty spyware.

Interesting - Sculleys Dream: The Story Behind the Newton.

Nice - Mac-alike Firefox themes.

A nice powerpoint presentation on how to act as a Lotus Notes Advocate. A tough job at the best of time.

Not to be called Gen-X would be a start although the points raised are pretty valid ...

In case you have old cgi related bookmarks be sure to bookmark the right page - http://mogwai.chaosnet.org/osxom/ and for the xml/rss feed http://mogwai.chaosnet.org/osxom/index.rss. The site will be undergoing a bit of an overhaul over the next few days too so some odd things will appear/disappear as I learn the ins and outs of static mode rendering and css.
