Been waiting for the new version of Thunderbird for a long while. I always assumed they’d run firefox and thunderbird releases alongside each other but better late than never.

I knew what an aglet was already, aren’t I clever

Anyone know any other hardly used words? I’ve quite interested in Lexicology and Etymology. Language is endlessly fascinating.

Always a fan of anything Flickr related. Check out this amazing clock which builds the time from images, well, posted at the current clock time. You can filter the images by tag or just see the latest.

I’m sure i’m not the only one waiting to see the Transformers Movie.

Just to whet your appetite some more, here’s a load of Transformers Movie Leaked Design Images, Toy Prototypes, CGI Images.

Still slightly disappointed at all the changes, my nostalgia demands the originals!

The Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix trailer is out!

Check out Giveaway of the Day. What is it you ask?

They’re giving away free commercial software every day, they put up something new every 24 hours and you then have 24 hours to download it. You’re not likely to find photoshop available here but there might be something that sparks your interest.

Out of interest i’ve stuck their RSS Feed in Thunderbird so I can see what shows up.
