In Search of a Lazy Susan
Saturday, May 26th, 2007Usual saturday chores and on the shopping list was a Lazy Susan or a similar rotating stable surface for a computer graphics project. Why did I need a rotatable stand all may become clear (or if it doesn’t work it wont). I ended up hiking round Liverpool’s shops trying to find somewhere selling one and […]

Google Watch

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007A friend sent me a nice web app url earlier. Quite a cute little application – sort of Google Maps for the night sky – Wikisky.org. Well worth a look.
