Check out this link.  It features airline photographs of hostesses from the golden age of flying.  I absolutely love these fashions.

Puppy Linux (my favourite live linux distro) has been updated to version 2.14  This is the easiest distro to get up and running on a USB thumbdrive which makes it great for data recovery on an unbootable Windows box.

Hmmm, I guess I’ll be eating my lunch off the toilet seat in future…

One of my favourite Windows utilities has just been updated.  ImgBurn 2.2.0.0 allows you to burn ISO images to CD with just a right-click.  Not only is it awesome but it’s free (you can donate if you want to).  You can’t beat that with a stick!

Hey, my first entry… I figured it should be something cute so I’ve posted a photo that someone sent me.  Not too sure of the origin but from the laptop screen it appears to be somewhere in Asia. Enjoy!
