Now that Movable Type has gone all commercial and support for my free v2.66 is waning, I decided it was prudent to shift to the new and exciting WordPress blogging software. I’m astounded.. all claims were true: it only took five minutes to install. It even only took a few seconds to import my entire MovableType archives!

Now I’ve just got to perform a little customization to get things looking unique and stuff. Maybe the easier-to-useness of it will prompt even more blogging!

There’s a new hollywood-ized movie of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, one of my favourite book series of all time. A trailer was just released and, though I have been worried about it for a year, I’m starting to feel that they might have done it justice.

Awesomely useful Firefox extension! Automatically surrounds URLs and such with Anchor tags if they aren’t already.

I believe the same extension or a complementary one exists for Thunderbird too.

Mozilla Update :: Extensions — More Info: Linkification

Interesting, del.icio.us takes link blogging to a very specific level and builds a community around it. It’s certainly compelling to look at the links that thousands of other people find interesting.

Very cool.. a nice looking GUI front end to the classic Infocom game. Gotta love the BBC sometimes.

It seems that my love FrancisFrancis! X1 espresso machine has become immortalized in Sarah’s blog! I can’t say enough about this amazing culmination of form and function.

Sadly I just don’t have the time to use it as much as I should.

On the other hand, I don’t have an ulcer to nurture.

A great review of one of our games on a Blackberry blog! This is the kind of press we need to get out there!

Just wait until version 2 comes out in a couple of months! It’ll have a heavily evolved AI and full multiplayer network support! Truly a next-generation product.
