[Geek] What is it about me, Linux and network cards?

My last 3 installs all won't see the damned LAN. Aaargh.

However, while searching for clues, I have found a .sig I like...

1p|-| j00 (4|\| |234|) 7|-|15, 7|-|3|\| j00 |-|4v3 \/\/4y 2 |\/|u(|-| ph|233 t1|\/|3

Well, quite.

[Geek] Feeding frenzy

Since the lovely flickgc showed me how to add XML feeds, here are a couple of interesting ones.

One came up while looking for cool Linuxy goodness for my Custom PC column. Go buy it, kids, it rocks. </plug>

It's a chap I know from CIX who's been very helpful in the past, Sun's Java evangelist Simon Phipps:

He's recently been writing about Sun's cool 3D desktop, written in Java. There are some impressive movies of it in action which certainly make the Quartz Extreme-ripoff demos of Longhorn look very very feeble and derivative indeed.

The other is my mate Ian Fogg of Jupiter Research, who are to be commended for getting their analysts to blog:
