PS2 for travelling

I'm sure Joe will be pleased to know that PS2 is now portable. Actually I'm sure he already knows and is probably already developing for this platform. For those who don't read slashdot and don't know what I'm talking about Ben Heck hacked together a PS2 with a battery and a screen to take PS2 on the road having already done the same with a SNES. Pretty interesting and ingenuative, wish I had that patience and time.

Thunderbird - Reclaim Your Inbox

There's also Thunderbird, the Mozilla Project's email client. Version 0.9 was recently released, still a development release but very stable and could easily replace Outlook Express on your machine. Maybe not Outlook since there is no calendar, unless you want to try the Mozilla Calendar extension or even Sunbird (a standalone version which I haven't tried yet).
And if you like all of them, I guess you could download the Mozilla Suite which has them all in one application, plus a couple of extra things. Some people say it's bloat-ware now, I'm not so sure but I don't need the extra features all that much so I just use Firefox (and Thunderbird at work, ain't they grand using open source software in a comercial environment. How cost effective of them ^_^)

Firefox - Rediscover the web

Woo hoo. I just read that the first official version of my favourite web browser Firefox has been released. I highly recomend this browser over Internet Explorer for many reasons (security being the biggest) even though you do have to put up with the occasional "web site won't work coz it's designed for ie". If you are not using it at the moment GO GET IT NOW.

Nuff said.
Salut.

Peugeot and Citroen to quit WRC after 2005

Here is a bit of unfortunate news flashing that will no doubt be a bit of a disappointment to Paul (assuming he hasn't already heard). I was under the impression that Peugeot was a reasonably strong competitor in the WRC (don't know about Citroen, but since they are owned by the same company I'd guess they do not so badly themselves) so I'm guessing that this will mean that there will be a slight bit less competition in the upper ranks. First Bush gets back in and now this. What a world...
