Eclipse 3 Milestone 8 Comments Off

Has been released, get it from the usual place. Initial impressions are that the new look and feel has been cleaned up and much improved. I found the last release a little buggy (under Linux GTK) so hopefully this will be more stable.

New York Post. All I can say is: what… a… fucking… idiot. Next!

Update: The NY Post page has been moved so the link above no longer works. Sorry.

Travelling Power Comments Off

I’ve been looking at ways to reduce the number of power adapters I need to carry around wqith me. My first thought was to get a USB charger for my phone, but this seems like a good idea as well. I’m hoping that they have an adapter for the Apple iPod as well, then I can go from three adapters to one in a single step, and get DC charging as well (for in flight power on planes mostly).
