Gulf Wars Episode II, Clone of the Attack.
(thanks Colm!)

Recommended Reading by Mark. Wow, this is handy! It’ll look at the links on my blog and suggest other links that I might be interested in reading. Fabulous!

I already found this disturbing blog entry by Jonathon Delacour about WWII civilian casualties through it.

security.debian.org is down. Their server room was destroyed in a fire this morning 🙁

Nobody cares about the security of their computers I think. From what I’ve seen of browser usage stats, IE5.5 and 6.0 browsers are used by more than 70% of Internet users.

Something awful’s going to happen, I hope I don’t get caught in the cleanup afterwards.

Michael Jackson Dangles Child From Balcony – he’s mad!

An EU National’s perspective on Internet Access in Ireland – it’s laughable how far behind we are!

Nazis from Space: Looking Back at V by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net D’you remember V? Remember the strange double-speech of the aliens? ah.. the 80s!

I just watched Dog Day Afternoon. Yes, I admit it, the only reason I actually bought the DVD was because it was mentioned in Swordfish (and because it was in the bargan basement section!) but it’s a good film. It’s amazing how the back robbery goes so terribly wrong and it’s worth renting if you see it in a video shop!
