Last week, I went to watch The Social Network with my cousin. I was quite impressed with the lines they gave Mark Zuckerberg when he was describing how he “hacked” together facemesh. I never imagined anyone in hollywood would know what Apache or wget was, much less mention it in a film. Turns out they aren’t that creative, they just pulled the lines from Mark Zuckerberg’s Online Diary.
Oh well.
At least they paid enough attention to use KDE3 on the screens in the movies, instead of one of those bogus future-computer interfaces.
So I was going through my old hard drives today, and came across a few old desktop screenshots. It’s interesting to see what I was up to back in the day… Using MandrakeLinux, testing Windows Vista….
Google has just unveiled the latest in search technologies. Because hitting Enter or clicking search took too long, we now have Google Instant.
In light of this fun new feature, I decided to compile a short list of a few suggestions provided by Google Instant. Perhaps in the future this will provide a snapshot of the Web in 2010.
So, I now have two blogs. The old faithful WordPress, and the new kid, Tumblr. I’ve been thinking over the past little while which one to use, or how best to make use of both. And now I’ve decided.
WordPress will remain my main blog, where I will write whenever I’m really in the mood for writing. Tumblr will be a repository of all things memorable or interesting, but not so much as to motivate me to write a blog post.
Posts on the WordPress blog will be sent over to Tumblr (hopefully) by RSS.
Today, I happened upon hilariously clever artist David Packer’s website, where he posts very short films, some of them short enough to fit in an animated GIF. (The two left images AREN’T animated. Click them.)
We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn…We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

With all the new 3G cell technologies and phones, it’s kind of confusing to figure out which phones work on which networks. For example, the new Nokia N900 will not work on the Bell or Rogers 3G networks.
