In March 2023, I backed the SeeAir Tankless Dive System on Kickstarter. Compact, battery-powered underwater breathing gadget. Polished renders, a slick video, spec sheets that looked legit. $362 for the dive unit and a couple accessories. Seemed fair.
The Observer has a good article on Europe reaching its crisis point
Dear all, I'm having a problem giving correct credit to the blogs where I find links with interesting content. Each day I read my newsfeed of ~160 feeds. While reading it, I spawn 30 or so background tabs, and if I find something I really want to blog about, I blog about it. Finding BACK to what entry I clicked from takes much time this way, and thus it's all to easy to give less credit than what I'd like to. So, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for SIMPLE solutions that would allow a user to know where the page he's coming from originates from?
Hypertaskers do things faster but not better is today's article from SlashDot. Forgetfulness, sleeplessness, irritability and stress, sounds familiar? Sure does to me. Anyway, with increasing demands and increasing inputs it seems the logical thing to do is to find a way to be able to deal with issues one at a time in a relaxed fashion. And how do you deal with that email-overload? 
Ralph S. Engelschall writes on FreeBSD'sUFS2 Snapshot Management Environment. This is really rather cool stuff for a filesystem in a production environment like at work.
Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble using Roller for Ingeborg's homepage. I've set the characterset to be ISO-8859-1, yet all norwegian characters end up as question marks in the HTML. The database contains the posts with Norwegian characters, so something weird happens on its way through Roller. Checked this with version 0.9.8.1 and 0.9.8.2. Apparently this is still true with 0.9.9. Time to finally ditch Roller (and go for WordPress?)? I like the system, but it keeps failing on me and not having a big community making plugins and such for it, there's not really that much to hold on to. Or is there? Input is most welcome! 
Crhis Anderson answers Miguel de Icaza's concerns about Avalon. I'm very glad he does, and to have discussions like this in a public forum is great. I don't totally buy the SVG and CSS both were passed on because they weren't adaquate to meet our needs. I've heared this way to many times before as an excuse to reinvent the wheel and having to answer to no-one. Although it's not embrace and extend we're used to, I would have preferred them to implement standards correctly and then make additions through contributing to standard bodies like W3C.
Russell Beattie sais it best regarding the iMac: My toddler would knock it over. Besdies, if this thing is going to be wall-mountable, all the wires are coming out the wrong way. And if it is not, it will look like a giant, unelegant octopus (my current imac has presently connected my stereo-system, backup-speakers, microphone, usb hub, negative film-scanner, TV breakout-box and keyboard, that'd fill all the slots in this next iMac and look rather unimpressive). It should have been simple: that one cable into the monitor should go to a little box that connects to all the cables. Break-out boxes are old news, but it works for hiding away the mess. Other oddities: No Firewire 800, slow FSB, default only 256MB RAM, still loving 80GB drives (two years ago I bought an iMac, and then the 80Gb drive that came along was small, what is this?), no DVD+RW, only DVD-R, Bluetooth not by default. I have heared nothing about WiFi, so I expect it's there. And please don't give me that built-in speaker "solution".
An Introduction to HTTP Fingerprinting is a great article, and if you're programming for the web (who isn't these days? ) you should read it!
Finally Skype is available for OS X users. Been a betatester a while, and it looks great.
