Using Google?


On the 3rd of February 2004, this page (or rather the page that was here) was swamped by requests and the server subsequentially failed. The reason was traced to Google introducing a fractal looking logo (see below), which when clicked, performed an image search for "julia" and "fractal".

We hates software


A first, I think, on hates software - a games hate.

To be honest I quite like the game - a conspiracy based FPS based on a Belgian comic with stylish cel shading done with much more flair than usual - lots of nice comic book touches. In general it's fun to play - nothing world shattering but not terrible by any strecth of the imagination.

Phones are criminal's paradise


Again, advanced electronic technology has proven to be a criminal's paradise. I am talking about the new cell telephones that have picture-taking capability. According to a recent study, the use of this type of cell phone by criminals has increased identity theft crimes by as much as 20 percent in some areas. You may ask yourself how this can happen just by someone using this type of cell phone.

Let me give you a scenario.
