HL2 Rube Goldberg Device: Reloaded – Google Video
Highly amused by this video, while I wait for Ubuntu Dapper Drake Flight 4 LiveCD to boot on my Travelmate 212TXV. For anyone else trying this: No, 128mb RAM and an 800Mhz Celeron is not enough to boot in under an hour. I’ll leaving it trying to boot now and going to bed…

furious firefox tabs
Entry for the firefox tab contest.
40 tabs per window = 480 tabs
Constructed by right-click on engadget feed, open in tabs, set pages as homepage, open 12 new browser windows.
Only around 1 in 5 tabs finished loading after the first few windows, I think due to my proxy server complaining.
box has two dual core xeon 3.2ghz, 2gb ram on RHEL3. remained very responsive throughout.

Dugg… and unDugg
I tried posting the previous story to digg, and it seemed to be doing really well, 30+ diggs in under an hour, several comments and 200+ people heading over to my blog, when it suddenly dropped off the digg index. The story is still there in the same place (here) but it no longer appears on the index so nobody can find it to digg it.
I tried looking on the web, seems if someone hits that ‘problem’ button, it just drops the story off the index. Wierd. Someone posted a comment saying they had reported the story (cos they already it? not sure how they knew my server logs…) before it dropped off.
Seems pretty lame – if people like my article they it shouldn’t be possible for someone else to delete it? Still never mind, Digg traffic is only good for informing people, it slams your server without generating any ad revenue so it’s kinda charitable really.
The Digg text was:
Firefox has won the browser war on Digg – but Linux still loses the desktop
Digg users are the technical elite. This article shows a detailed breakdown of what browsers and operating systems they use – and there are some surprises. Microsoft’s venerable Internet Explorer hasn’t just lost the first place – It’s in danger of dropping to third!

Digg chooses Firefox and Windows
Digg is a very popular site where a fairly technical user base collect and rate stories from the work of IT and technology. As such, it’s interesting to find out a little about the Digg users. I’m in the unusual position of being able to analyze in depth the traffic sent by Digg (A recent post sent 20,000 Digg users to my blog, which has a normal daily traffic of just 100-200).
