Whilst feeling pretty generous I am throwing away six (6) free Gmail invitations.

Go easy on the free invites.

Well its that time of year again. Time for Christmas! Funny that a search on Google returns christmas.com as the #1 result for “christmas”. What else should be ranked #1?

This is going to be the biggest Christmas eve for me yet. I’m about to go out and get smashed shortly then come home and join in on the code-a-thon to finish a minimalistic working beta of Beetroot. Oh, what fun! Cya in the morning.

VIM (VI-Improved) can be a real pain if you don’t understand the basics. It is included in almost every *nix distribution. Luckily I stumbled across this cheat sheet that shows the basics.

Apart from Google Suggest as being my start page, I decided I wanted a personalised news aggregator. Many open-source communities have ‘planets’ where member blogs are aggregated onto a single convenient page. My Planet a.k.a Rob’s Planet caches a variety of blogs that concern my interests. The aggregator uses Mark Pilgrim’s Feed Parser python module extensively to compile my results. If you have a site worth aggregating please drop me an email so I can add you. Thanks.

I’m glad my ISP offers free email virus protection and spam filtering. In the past fortnight I have recieved over 100 emails containing the Worm ‘Sober.i’ and a couple of hundred spam messages.

Theres more information about I-Worm.Sober.i on Viruslist.com.
