I just watched the last episode of Firefly, and I have to say, it is amazing. It is easily one of the best shows I have ever seen (together with Family Guy). If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you buy/rent/steal (I’m just kidding, I don’t think they rent it) and watch it immediately. Even if you don’t like that kind of shows (or any kind of show, or peo
When I visited Digg today I came upon this site, called Allofmp3. From it you can buy songs totally legally for as little as $0.02 per megabyte. They even have this cool service that encodes the files to whatever format you want (I recommend OGG Vorbis at Q6), so you end up paying about $3 for a whole CD (and not old ones or anything, they have almost
Today was a very important day for me. I logged on to my site to reconfigure something, and I saw some new comments posted. When I read them, I couldn’t believe my eyes! I had my first flamer! I am posting the first comment below, for posterity:

The new disk arrived, I ghosted the 80 one on the 250 (after quite a few crashes and hangs, which after a while stopped), and I installed t
I have posted a new Python script on the scripts page, it will be very useful to you if you regularly burn CDs or DVDs. Try it out.
A few days ago I stumbled upon this great website called Moviepig. In short, it will tell you if you’re going to like a movie or not. You tell it a list of movies you have seen in order of preference (most liked to least liked) and then you ask it how much you’re going to like a movie you haven’t seen. It uses collaborative filtering to search for other people with the s
