  2. emmas: heather-rivers: New favorite toy Im too excited by this pic to even fully appreciate what it actually does… Allz I know is, I want to fill the shell up with Pina Coladas, and pop a straw in… God, Im so thirsty and beach deprived I cant stand it. Saw this the otherday in a crappy leaflet that came with the free paper. It looks cool and it slices the pineapple so it is all curly.

  3. emmas: butterflyeffect: 279/365 - 5 October (via my flickr) I had a Devonshire Tea at Strawberry Fields… Scones with jam and cream with tea for the unitiated.  Just about the loveliest thing ever… except I’m still to find a place locally that will make proper tea or give you enough jam and cream.. eh. Um, I would have frisbee’d that to the back of the waiter/tress’s head for lack of creamage… On the rare occasion (she choked) that I get to par-take in Cream tea, I get panic attacks for the following:- a) that they wont bring me enough clotted cream… b) the scones wont be warm… c) the scones wont be sufficiently fruited… d) the jam will be blackberry… e) the tea wont be assam… Actually, sometimes I wonder if I will ever be happy with anything, making demands on a freaking scone and a cuppa is not good, Im well aware! Personally If I order Cream Tea I’d be estatic if they came out with just a large pot of clotted cream and no tea or scones, but thats just me. Clotted cream is addictive. And very yummy.

  9. Booting Linux in five seconds [LWN.net]

    A little geeky but I take my hat off to them, that is really impressive.

    From the Article:

    How did they do it? Arjan said it starts with the right attitude. “It’s not about booting faster, it’s about booting in 5 seconds.” Instead of saving a second here and there, set a time budget for the whole system, and make each step of the boot finish in its allotted time. And no cheating. “Done booting means CPU and disk idle,” Arjan said. No fair putting up the desktop while still starting services behind the scenes. (An audience member pointed out that Microsoft does this.) The “done booting” time did not include bringing up the network, but did include starting NetworkManager. A system with a conventional hard disk will have to take longer to start up: Arjan said he has run the same load on a ThinkPad and achieved a 10-second boot time.

  10. brilliantology: Ok, but, you’re not forgiven yet, BT. It could be worse, you could be with Eclipse. Shit speeds on a line that can get a full 8mb we see 40kbps to 350kbps (and thats only if we are really lucky). Cant wait for the MAC code to appear so I can transfer over to O2.
