Need forty Wiinks?

There’s a chance you might be able to watch someone actually die playing video games, live on his webcam. I find this quote scary:

Time for some sleep
Its been 24 hours since I started this madness. I’m off to bed see you folks in 4 hours.

Don’t stay up all night watching!

Got MiLF?

Microsoft Location Finder is a client-side application that turns a regular WiFi enabled laptop, Tablet or PC into a location determining device without the addition of any separate hardware.

Sounds fun!

Frazzles

The Mrs. tells me that Frazzles are currently on sale at Tesco for 24p for 6 bags. Stop whatever you’re doing and get yourself down there for some bacon-flavoured corn snack bargains!

Getting what done?

The downside to relying on iCommit (in its current state) is that your data could disappear at any time without any notice. This afternoon, for example, this is how it looks:

… Upps - Dieser Account existiert nicht mehr!

Der von Ihnen aufgerufene Webserver existiert nicht (mehr?).
Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie die Adresse in Ihrem Browser korrekt eingetippt haben oder setzen Sie sich direkt mit dem ehemaligen Accountinhaber in Verbindung.

I’m sure this is only a temporary glitch, but it’s damn inconvenient when I need to do my Friday afternoon weekly review!

Update: It’s back [mops brow]

Programmer’s Notepad

Nov 02, 2006 by Graeme in Uncategorized

My text editor of choice was yesterday’s Download of the Day on LifeHacker:

Windows only: Most programmers are already married to an IDE or code editor, but if you’re in the market or just developing your programming chops? The free Programmer’s Notepad 2 is a full-featured, lightweight editor for scripters and web monkeys who need a lot more oomph than generic text editors offer.

Congratulations to Simon, the man behind PN… I hope you’re enjoying your new job! :)
