Memory Stick

Gizmodo about the Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed:

Sony really needs to do something about this Memory Stick naming scheme, because it's getting to be like Street Fighter games.

Amen.

Stephen Hawking

…“not that clever” according to the incomparable Emerald Bile:

Dr Stephen Hawking is supposed to be the cleverest man on earth. Why, then, did he waste his time writing that bollocks about a history of time when he could have been trying to find a cure for multiple sclerosis. Whilst I accept that he is probably a bit cleverer than me, I think I am a better all-rounder. I am better at swimming, running and even better at something as gay as singing.

A hard day

A whole day of Eclipse plugin stuff at IBM, and the same again tomorrow. I was up at 5:30am, which I didn't particularly enjoy! Still, the day was rounded off with a nice pub dinner with Tim and Diana. Then I arrive home to 370 unread news items and 6873 new emails — IBM didn't have WiFi, or a good enough signal to use GPRS. Bah.
