I'm a physics teacher from the UK. I like programming, fajitas, cats, good music and coffee.
O2 Wireless Box III / Thomson TG585n Vulnerabilities - http://www.jibble.org/o2-broa...
The O2 Wireless Box III (a customised Thomson TG585n router) is an ADSL modem and wireless router used by O2 Broadband customers. Two weeks ago, I discovered a serious security vulnerability that allows remote attackers to access a home user's private network and view/change settings on the router. - Rich

WOMAN FIRED FOR USING CAPITAL LETTERS IN EMAIL. - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz...
whew - Mac Sharp
Y'know, sometimes people just don't read emails well enough. Bold red and capitals certainly gets your attention when things are important. - Charley M
Why did this woman jump into a pit of polar bears at feeding time? - http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news...
Best quote from the article: "Polar bears are predators and they do not care what they eat. It was terrible but we do not wish to identify the bear involved." - Rich
She was lucky but does it not show you that depite the immense power of these magnificant animals they showed a certain amouth of constraint, probably due to certain element of confusion I would imagine. - Kevin J Hatton
Canvas Tutorial - Introduction - http://billmill.org/static...
Welcome! In this tutorial, we're going to create a breakout clone that you can play in your browser, using javascript and the <canvas> element. - Rich
I got some new glasses...
They look good on you, sir. 8-) - Absentee
Father's outrage over 'pornographic' candy wrappers - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...
LOL -- well, you know those fruits... (okay, that was terrible, I'm sorry!) - Ordinarybug Heather
I'm just so entertained by fruits getting it on. WTH, lighten up people - Melissa

Market share of various VLEs graphed against time.
Uranium Ore: I purchased this product 4.47 billion years ago, and when I opened it today, it was half empty.
Movement - Arranging your iPhone apps shouldn't take all day - http://www.movementapp.com/
Too bad it requires a jailbreak. - Kenley Neufeld
The iphone really needs an API for applications. This is kind of insane. - Todd Hoff
I have been wanting this type of application for a very long time. I have pages of apps. This would solve my issues but the jailbreaking is a no-go for me. - berchman
Remember that jailbreaking isn't unlocking - you aren't playing with the carrier side of things, just the software. - Rich
Yeah! Got my Wii to play DVDs using the bannerbomb hack + DVDx... Finally can dispense of our old flakey DVD player!
"One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn’t dream a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy."
Just updated software on my Mac. Surprised that it didn't force me to restart...
http://spotifitunes.philnash.co.uk/richbra... is quite cool... kinda pointless in a way, but useful for when you aren't at main computer.
This is one of the few websites where the fact that there are people who don't use english most of the time is actually apparent - maybe other sites do too much to segment languages...
There are some posts that seem interesting enough to attempt to translate (using translate.google.com). I like that there many languages coming together, and sharing things like pictures and videos without being able to directly communicate. It gives the feeling of being at a party -- you know there are other conversations going on, but you can't necessarily understand them all. - Andy Bakun
Why would anyone buy all 3 versions of Windows??
You reckon? Wouldn't they just get a pirate copy? - Rich
You can download copies from Technet, so I'd assume that they would get pirated from those copies. You could be right though. Maybe it's people buying presents for their home office (Ultimate), their lounge (Premium) and their work laptop (Professional)... seems a bit of a waste of £384 though... - Rich
That was my suspicion. I really don't believe that anyone buys those three together. - Rich

Is there anywhere like reallife Wii Ports Resort?

BBC's definition of XML. Not quite what I'd put! - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
"XML, a programming language that allows formatting of text and makes files readable across different programs." - Rich
I'm more concerned about the ruling - its a ridiculous patent again what's next html and css? xml and xsl in general? a farce! - Phill Price
It's mad isn't it. It's like patenting a byte or a linefeed. The joke is that pretty much every bit of software will use XML in it somewhere. I assume the judgement will be overturned. - Rich
Book Do's and Don’ts For the 21st Century - http://www.bookpatrol.net/2009...
Sad that it has come to this but signage has now been created to prevent those whose experience with books is severely limited from making serious, life- or book threatening gaffes when in their presence. - Rich
O3D API - Google Code. This is a really interesting project. - http://code.google.com/apis...
One of the many qualities of pinhole photography is its ability to capture time durations of beyond our vision. Usually this is in the range of a few seconds, but by combining old and new technologies, it is possible to achieve exposures of far greater duration. I have always been fascinated with astronomy, its immense scales of space and time... - http://www.pinholephotography.org/SSGB%20...

Yep, that's what we did. Just got back today - nice to be home! - Rich
