My sister Mairead is back from a year travelling around Australia and Asia. She brought me back the coolest kite I’ve ever seen! It’s a sailing boat, and made of bamboo. I’m scared of flying it, but she says the guy who sold it to her had it flying next to him as he made the sale!
I saw a few roles of the film she had developed, if the rest are as good as what I’ve seen I’m in for some treat! I’ll have to persuade her to upload to photo.net soon too!

Damn! I left my camera at home and it’s a beautiful day outside. I spotted plenty of opportunities for some great photos but alas, it’ll have to wait for another day.

Twenty Things We’ve Learned Since 9/11, scary stuff. It still beggars belief that Bush ever got elected.

Let Users Control Font Size has sparked some responses, summarised by Mark but I looked at the Citydesk discussion on this. When you zoom into this page in Galeon/Mozilla (in Linux), both types of text zoom in, and in fact, contrary to what IE does, the absolute pixel sized text zoomed better than the relative font size.

Heard on IRC:
<Niall> What were the archers firing ?
<valen> rubber tipped arrows. So funny to hear the ‘ping’ as one hits a guy’s pothelm from 200 meters, and then the ‘thunk’ as the poor stunned guy drops to his knees.
<Niall> Yeah – hilarious 🙂

FFS! I can’t believe the Argos website refuses to work with Gecko powered browsers but it does work in Netscape 4! I’m going to Hollywood Video for my purchase today..
Especially after searching for the last 10 minutes on the site I couldn’t find a power supply. *grr*

Tux & Red Hat – the reason I was trying to connect my digital camera and my PC again.
It’s not a great pic, I was trying for a different effect but maybe I’ll play with it tomorrow and or attempt to take the picture again. Photo was taken after I fitted a 150 watt bulb in my room, no flash and I had to set the timer because the camera and this picture is actually inside my wardrobe. Time to take that bulb out, it’s way too bright!
