Shake a stick at it
Linky links links, consolidated this time and with less of that annoying “opinion” shit I sometimes have.
Boing Boing: Real life Counter-Strike reenactment: A video of real-life Counter-Strike. My sides, they are in pain.
New York Daily News - Home - Nerds make better lovers, linked from Slashdot | Nerds Make Better Lovers: The first article’s rather nonsensical (Tiger Woods is with that Swedish model because he’s a “nerd”, not because he’s horrendously loaded? Right, right)… Also, if the computer-geeks think they aren’t getting any, spare some sympathy for us computer- and comicbook-geeks.

HER DIARY:
Saturday, May 21st 2005
Saw him in the evening and he was acting really strangely. I went shopping in the afternoon with the girls and I did turn up a bit late so thought it might be that. The bar was really crowded and loud so I suggested we go somewhere quieter to talk. He was still very subdued and distracted so I suggested we go somewhere nice to eat. All through dinner he just didn’t seem himself; he hardly laughed and didn’t seem to be paying any attention to me or to what I was saying. I just knew that something was wrong. He dropped me back home and I wondered if he was going to come in; he hesitated but followed. I asked him again if there was something the matter but he just half shook his head and turned the television on. After about 10 minutes of Silence, I said I was going upstairs to bed. I put my arms around him and told him that I loved him deeply. He just gave a sigh and a sad sort of smile. He didn’t follow me up but later he did, and I was surprised when we made love. He still seemed distant and a bit cold, and I started to think that he was going to leave me and that he had found someone else. I cried myself to sleep.

Absolutely gutted.
Got a shag though.
Nokia to build phone browser from Apple tech | The Register: Safari for Nokia Series 60! Well, kindof… Safari Webkit for Series 60 browsers, at least.
Steve Jobs at Stanford Commencement ‘05: After traditional Commencement antics, Jobs imparts straightforward advice (Stanford Report), Apple CEO hits serious note at Stanford / In keynote speech, Jobs tells graduates not to waste time (SF Chronicle): Ah, the memories. If only I’d finished NS before going to school — I’m still bitter we had the most boring graduation speaker ever.
