Link Splurge #2
Well, the title of the last one warned you there'd be more, right?
- Some litigious bastards have been google bombed, presumably by Slashdot weenies.
- I'm still, surprisingly enough, playing Agents.
- I've started proofreading for Project Gutenberg again, as part of PG's Distributed Proofreaders.
- One of my lecturers this term has apparently written a quite well known haskell program (scroll to the bottom) to solve the numbers games in Countdown, collaborating with some of my former lecturers in the process. So that's what these people get up to!
- That bloody penguin game has acquired a third variant, it seems. Yes, it does finish, but it takes quite a while doing so.
- iBooks are apparently so much cheaper in the US than the UK, you could fly out there and get one, and still have change for several kilos of Rhubarb and Custard.
- This person deserves both pity and anger in equal measure, I fear.
- New PCs are becoming alarming cheap. Lucky I don't have any money, really :-)
Your regular scheduled programming now resumes.

That link to overclockers.com is apparently breaking for lots of people due to high server load. The basic story is that some guy got a dual G5 machine off his parents, as a present, and has stripped the contents out and given them away, and built a cheapo PC running XP in the shiny new case.
Someone who doesn't realise that apple-like cases are ten a penny in the PC market at the moment, clearly...

Quite apart from that, the kit inside those beasts is bloody good. If I could afford it I'd buy one in a flash (and run Linux on it, obviously).

Oh, and then it turned out to be fake, after all that. Ho hum.
