I found a short review of Rekall via Linux Today this morning.
It has aspirations to be the MS Access of the Linux (and I suppose Free Software) world and while I’ve never used Access this little program looks impressive! The community supported RekallRevealed website has lots more, including screenshots and FAQs.

Opening URLs in Moz Firefox
Does anyone else have problems sending commands to a running instance of Mozilla Firefox?
I want Thunderbird to open links in new Firefox tabs but the following command fails:
$ mozilla -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org, new-tab)"
Failed to send command.
$
If I don’t include a URL then a dialog pops up asking for one but that’s hardly what I want to happen. Google hasn’t been too helpful, but maybe someone reading this has come across this already!
The King Of Hearts – Live This Weekend!

Shaun of the Dead – mini review
Myself and Mel went to see Shaun of the Dead last night. What a blast! hehe. It’s a completely off the wall zombie movie, and much better than 28 Days later (OK, I’m possibly in the small minority who thinks that movie was crap!)
I absoluately loved the jokes and the dark humour! Early in the film, we burst out laughing as the two main characters, Shaun and Ed, bashed in the heads and mutilated 2 zombies that were in their back garden! I don’t remember hearing anyone else laugh (the rest of the audience was possibly shocked!) but it didn’t take them long to realise this was a spoof horror taking the mickey out of the genre!
There’s the small touches, like the supermarket-clerk zombie with her name tag on (Mary?), or the groom from the shop who’s lost an arm, or the zombie-boy who still kicks the ball..
And I love the ending. 🙂
Go see it, it’s a good ‘un!
Web Design Practices
I’m almost certain I linked to this site before, but I’m clearing up my open tabs and it looks like something I want to read later.
And further on the design topic, 10 things that you don’t learn in design school, or any school for that matter. The points raised here apply equally well to any facet of life!
95 percent of any creative profession is shit work.

PhotoMemes.org – Infectious Photo Projects
This website lists quite a few “photo memes” or photo projects that people are running. Sounds like a good idea to me!
b2++ Post Titles in URLs
Here’s another minor b2++ update. I added the blog post titles to permalinks, The title isn’t used to find the actual post, it’s simply there for search engines to find and index.
It should help somewhat in your rankings if you select your post titles carefully!
