Hello,
I’m searching for your mail but can’t find it !
I’m writing to you because I have a question concerning your program “camE”. Maybe it’s an old project and you don’t support it anymore but if you can help me it would be nice
Please mail me

Big fan of Franz Ferdinand. If you like them you should check out a remix of their track by Emperor Machine, its really cool. Label Dominos are giving it away for free apparantly http://tiny.cc/ySVGc …

Hey Tom,

Wondered what you were up to, tried to find you on Facebook, then remembered you had a blog! Thought it would be great to reconnect, reminise about BAT times and hear where your path has taken you…From your blog, looks like some far flung places!

And yes, it is more than a netbook. Gives you many options to connect other devices and increases your mobility by having its own battery.

Sure, it’s not cheap (though I’m sure it will get cheaper in future). I already own a netbook with integrated 3G, but to be honest, I found it to be a PITA – switching the SIM around between my netbook and my 3G USB stick (when I wanted to use it with another laptop). When you have multiple devices the cost overhead of having built-in 3G in each of them really adds up. This is a nice way of having an always-on hotspot in your pocket and freeing you from having it in every device.

For example you can get a lot of mileage out of an ipod touch with one of these. Or a dirt cheap non 3G netbook. You have a lot more choice shopping for non 3G netbooks too.

Nice gadget although the price is horrendous! For not much more you could buy yourself a netbook with integrated 3G and wireless

Comment on Why the long hiatus? by Fintan Gaughan

I first started reading your blog when I searched for Muttrc examples then it has been in my rss reader ever since.
Used to get annoyed when you took holidays as you rarely blog when you come back ;-P .

But seriously your health comes first and most of your readers are (probably) now working in the real world,married with kids and no time for fun projects…

Thanks for sticking with the blog through the long silence!

Ah yes those were the days, late night hacking and IRC sessions

I have chosen for a clean slate on the blog, but I will see to restoring some of the previous sections over time on a request basis, so thanks for that.

Appart from the divorce and all that, I think it’s all good news.
I’ve been following your blog since 2000 and a lot of things changed since then.

I remember one day ( night actually ) when I reached your website about 3 am in the morning and you were online on the webcam talking on #e O_O

Anyway, I wish you the best.

Rafael.

Oh yeah, I miss the screenshot section ) And your .muttrc were very usefull too.
