Cool non-linear software

TiddlyWiki isn't a Wiki in the sense I'm used to (something anyone can edit) - it's a non-linear information presentation system. You start with a few items open and then open new ones you want to read, which open in the place you're looking at.

I think it might be useful, for the right information. I just need to think what information that might be...

Great News Everyone!

My favourite console - The Gamecube - is going for _£40_ at Argos. If you don't have one then you owe it to yourself to get out there and buy one.

Where cuteness comes from

Ever wondered where all the cuteness you find in Hello Kitty comes from?

Aaah, honesty at last

Like many of you I think self-improvement is a fantastic idea.

I, however, have enough self-awareness to know that I'm just not going to spend all that time down the gym, that I'll continue to read a fair bit, but of the wrong kinds of books, will probably tame a neurosis or two, but not the right ones, or enough of them and will generally continue to be a lazy layabout whose idea of a good time is beating my flatmate at Mario-Kart best two out of three.

If you could do with a refreshingly witty injkection of this same honesty then go here and read some tips on how you won't improve your life overnight, along with a few actually useful things you can do without vast amounts of effort (and are therefore vaguely likely to actually manage).

And a merry christmas to me!

Finally made it home for a couple of  hours - to discover that my brother drainboy, as well as getting me Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (sequel to the amazing Sands of Time) also procured Donkey Konga!  Cue much drumming silliness and Ed leaving the room in horror.  I suspect he'll be using it as soon as I'm out of the flat...

Next up is Metroid Prime and Zelda: Wind Waker (which other brother stenchpuppy) got me.

And it's a very merry GameCubeMas for me!
