How fab!

Art goes weeee 

I don’t know about you peeps but I wanted to try out the latest release candidate for FF 2. There aren’t too many major changes but the in-line spell checking is something my little brain can really do with! It has caught 27 spelling mastikes already.

However, the official FF2 RC2 release will overwrite your old 1.5 app and give you no way back, eek! Sooo, the lubbly guys at PortableApps have released their portable version of RC2 just so we can all have a butch.

First impressions are that it is quicker but thats prolly cos I dont have my 20 odd extensions loaded :)

Get it here

Jez, do you remember driving at some speed to get this piccy? It’s outside Ferr’s place and is a damn fine photo I think :)

On the topic of great discussion the other night….

One interesting thing is the idea on the steel is confirmed….

Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn’t need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength–and that required exposure to much less heat. “I have never seen melted steel in a building fire,” says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. “But I’ve seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks.”

“Steel loses about 50 percent of its strength at 1100°F,” notes senior engineer Farid Alfawak-hiri of the American Institute of Steel Construction. “And at 1800° it is probably at less than 10 percent.” NIST also believes that a great deal of the spray-on fireproofing insulation was likely knocked off the steel beams that were in the path of the crashing jets, leaving the metal more vulnerable to the heat.

I realise it’s geek but: Google Code search is fab :)

Used in the right way, it can be fun!

Stupid User & some backdoor passes

Lastly, how about an old company search?

It actually turned up a fab quiz db that I now have for quiz days :)

at b3ta :)

may the force be with them

I am thinking of changing the theme that sickburp uses (poss speed issues). I really like the design of the theme over on laneyweb I find it clean and easy to read. I may change the text colours tho.

Do you chaps think it would be ok here or do you all like this white/simple theme here?

Feedback please :)

very simple idea, very addictive, very very

very

rofl, Googles new code search util shows up Keygen code for big apps :)

oopsie 

If only we had one at work Blow :)
