One Laptop Per Child GUI + More
Looks interesting - OLPC Interface.
Some nice Mini AJAX Apps. The mini IM window is great. I had a popup from someone in Tech Support at a company website while browsing their FAQ section and they were able to help me immediately - now thats service!
For OS X - ZX Spectrum Widget. Lovely retro gizmo.
Looking good - LinuxBIOS including X. Pretty amazing.
As per a previous post - Pivot is a lightweight PHP based blog-engine that doesn't require a SQL backend. Nice and simple.
Lots of new info on Spore and its developer Will Wright.
Horribly addictive - Flash Game - Virus. Similar to Tetris / Connect Four.

Hosting Problems
Looks like I keep exceeding the SDF web quota so if you come to the site and see the generic SDF homepage that'll be whats going on.
Might actually have to bite the bullet and move the site somewhere else.
As part of my quest I came across Pivot which is a Blosxom-like PHP weblog engine that doesn't require a database backend. It appeals to my desire to not have to fart about with SQL just to publish content ;-)
Now to find a half decent host (preferably in NZ that offers ssh, perl and php) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Actually it might be Googles Coop - site bandwidth is apparently almost 50mb every few days which is pretty excessive for a small site. The only recent change has been the addition of Googles search engine. Might see what their tech support is like . . .
