Lemmings written completely in DHTML, so thats static HTML and JavaScript. No flash here. -very excellent 
In fact, I first came across this a good few years ago… I wonder ifit can be calssed as pre-2.0 Web2.0 
Personally I recommend polaying it with firebug running, so you can watch the source change
A live rendition of Lamb, playing their epic track Little Things from the Fear of Fours album.
Lamb seem to put across all the energy and funk of The Postal Service, but with the musical know-how of, say Mylo. This track in particular is a favourite as about 2:10 it starts feeling like its a Bill Bailey remix.
-Infact, if you’re going to listen to this, you should listen to B-Line next; the order it comes on hte album.
I’ve recently come across PTCs Pro Desktop 3D CAD software when reinstalling a laptop for a friend.
As I understand it, Pro/Desktop is the younger brother to Pro/ENGINEER, “a parametric, integrated 3D CAD1/CAM2/CAE3 solution” produced and distributed by PTC4.
And after playing with it, to try and make a vivarium, I decided I needed it to run on linux.
It turns out one of my (many) firefox plugins is causing wordpress to break in strange ways, namely when trying to edit a post, it reloads the main page inside of one of the iframes and then fails.
More info as it comes.

I tried to be clever. I re-installed WordPress, Disabled all the plugns on the website and all to no avail.
Then I used my brain and tested it in another browser (seamonkey) and found it all working perfectly -fantastic, not a server issue then, but FireFox.
After switching to a different FF profile1 for a little while, I prove it was due to the plugins I was using.
Having finally switched back to my orogional profile, I’ve found everything working fine again. Which is a PITA.
So I got asked a couple of days ago how to stop the xbox auto signing in to MSN Messenger.
Whilst its a handy feature (-I talk to a couple of people over MSN who don’t have a computer, just Live,) it’s also a great PITA1 to constantly get signed off from the computer and to have people trying to chat when you’re busy killing Horde or trying to complete a Rally.
So, very simpily: Read more…
Grace's Cock Flavored Soup
Its apoor choice of name, really. Lucky its so cheep!
In the past, recovering data from laptops (or rather from 2.5″ IDE hard drives) has been a Pain in the Ass.
Due to their tiny size there is no chance in hell of connecting a standard IDE cable never mind a standard Molex power connector, so you’ve always had to use an adaptor cable (standard IDE & power on one end, laptop connector on the other), which is peachy-fine, except for when its lost, lent out or just damn hard to get hold of in the first place.
Later this evening I’m expecting a 2.5″ laptop SATA hard drive dropping off as it needs swapping out in a Sony Vaio -and I started worrying. What if I need special adapters/cables if I want to hook the old drive up to my PC to do some data recovery?
Not a problem. Turns out that the new Laptop Drives (probably because they’re also now used in enterprise RAID Arrays) all have standard SATA Power and Data connectors on them, which is fantastically handy

Vmware’s Workstation (version 6.5.0.118166) is proving impossible to get running on my Gentoo-AMD64 box.
It seems to get installed without any bother, the kernel modules load fine, but then when I run workstation or player, it tells me it “Cannot initiate the installer DB” when trying to run it.
Currently going round in circles trying to get somewhere. -and I thought updating would be a good idea. 6.0 was really sweet.
——-
Edit:
Turns out, its actually quite simple. And it seems other gentoo users have been having problems((see gentoo bug ID 248813 and maybe this gentoo forums post))
The trick to getting it working, is very simple. Even if it did take me about a week of going round in circles to get anywhere. Delete (or atleast move) /etc/vmware. Then reinstall and you’re done.
However -Rather than downloading an illigal copy of vmware-workstation, or even worse paying for it, why not try VirtualBox as a direct replacement to workstation?
Its free, open source, and frankly, is preferable to vmware. Try it for a week, once you get past the fact its different, it becomes really quite sweet
the blue pipe marked as red, and the red marked as blue. fantastic 
Yeah, so its only a small thing, but it cracked me up.
And I had to go back twice after flooding my kitchen the first time
