An entertaining video of a robot making coffee. There's a lot of human interaction between scenes but it's very entertaining none the less.

This blog entry was written by me using SkyFire on my Pocket PC. Skyfire looks really promising, most of the Pocket PC Web browsers are terrible or if they are any good they are too bulky and memory hungry. Skyfire on the other hand seems to be the best of both worlds, it's lightweight and really good, it renders pages like the desktop on a mobile. It also runs on Symbian, check it out here: http://www.skyfire.com/

The title may be a little misleading but I was having a problem with my SVN scripts using 1.4 libraries and my Subclipse version supporting Subversion 1.6. Looks like I'm not the only one with these problems, however I did find a quick and simple fix which works surprisingly well.

Immature I know but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. Seems that a Japanese company has invented batteries that can be recharged with fluid (including urine) could you image your wedding photographer saying "I'll be right back, just gotta go pee in my batteries" ... awkward moment !

I saw (from someboy else) this cool Stripboard layout program called VeeCAD. I'll have to give it a go and see how well it works. The paid version does auto routing which would be well worth buying. You can export from Eagle to VeeCAD to make stripboard layouts.

Here's the links

I just had to post this, it's a really weird 3D version of what I'm hoping to grow for Movember. Note the really creepy eyes.

This is my proof that I shaved this morning for Movember

I was just out at lunch with some of the guys/gals from work. We went to a Korean BBQ place and all had a try of some of the different meats on offer. Looks like everyone had a good time. Bryan would be proud.

Well, I've done a bit of Spiritual growth lately. Actually that's an understatement, I've grown leaps and bounds in the last year and continue to grow. One of the things I always wondered about was what people meant when they said God spoke to them. I always wondered if it was a loud voice and if it was then how could you be sure it was from God and that you weren't insane ?
