I have liked her pictures for a long time and have used one for a wallpaper.
Shes pretty good with her camera and with her living in iceland she can shoot nice scenes on her doorstep, unlike me.

Check out her northern light picture here. You can find her other pictures at her picture blog at Iceland-pics.blogspot.com. I know what you thinking how come she got the cool blue and I got the green ( on my picture blog )

Metal slug (neogeo) on my gp2x

Finally got metal slug working on my gp2x using Gngeo2x. It works at full speed with out sound. MAME did not work for me at all, it wouldnt load the metal slug roms in to memory.

Running windows XP on an 8 Mhz Computer

Well its possible!
Found this on digg, its about 55 days old but its interesting.

The graphics don't seem to work so well and not much can be done with xp on a 8mhz computer... buts its still possible.

My digg adventures

After coming across a funny photo of a linux crash I decided to digg it and see what would happen. A lot of claims that it was not a crash from linux fan boys also a lot of windows comments... Where did windows come from I just don’t know. Geeks will try the OS war for anything. Everyone knows I am a strong supporter of open source software. Did the little kill bill picture give me away!

It dam right pisses (sorry for language) me off when idiots who claim to be "leet" (Lamer talk) and start a rather childish effort for a flame war. Here I am a linux user! Posting a funny picture of linux crashing (a rare sight) and some geek/nerd posts of a comment to down play linux (fair its on topic) and boast about windows, totally off the topic.

"Warning: The Content in this Article is Under Review, Readers have reported that this story contains information that may not be accurate." is just about on the post non stop, even when its nearly 24 hours old. I think the linux fans cannot accept it. Theres no big deal! I think the review feature for posts that seem to be not accurate to be a good idea. How many times does it need to be reviewed? There was plenty of linux users putting the crash down to hardware... that doesnt matter... its running linux. When windows blue screens (there i go off topic) you don't say "o thats my memory crashing".

Why MySpace Sucks

Even Al Qaeda is using this crap:

High-Tech Terrorism

After relying heavily on fixed — and thus vulnerable — Web sites until early 2002, al Qaeda quickly switched to hiding its online operations within more legitimate bulletin boards and Internet sites offering free upload services or connecting through such popular social network sites as Orkut and MySpace.

Beer brewing: Irish Stout

Beer beer beer... started my 2nd batch using a malt extract kit.

Comes in a can like most things do. Once it’s warmed up for 5 mins in hot water to loosen it and then opened it smells like walking past Mansfield brewery (RIP). It a very sticky black treacle.

Using malt extract from Wilkinson instead of brewing sugar. Should have a better taste with this. It better be stronger too.

You have to put the malt extract and the sugars together. Pour 6.5 litres of hot water and stir well. Then put 19 litres of cold water in to fill it up (working with a 5 gallon tub)

Look Ma' Guinness!

Should be done in around 6 days to be keged and stored for 2 weeks.

Enjoy
