The third series of Doctor Who starts tomorrow. I'm not too sure what the new assistant will be like, but she has got to be better than Billie Piper! To celebrate Doctor Who starting again we'll be making a dalek cake (courtesy of Blue Peter). I'll take pictures as it goes along.

I found a great laptop for all the girls! Although I doubt anyone would actually buy one and show it off!

A tool for programmers and command line people is Console. It's a command prompt replacement (in a way) for Windows which lets you create new command prompts in a tabbed window. This saves having multiple prompts open and is especially handy if you usually have multiple ssh windows open (just put each one into a seperately named tab and you'll never forget which one is which). It's not a real command prompt replacement as it actually spawns a hidden command prompt to which it sends the commands you type. You're also not limited to cmd.exe as a command prompt. If you have Cygwin installed then you can use bash instead, or any other command prompt that you have.

I'm getting a massive load of visitors to this blog! Over the last few days I've had around five people visit. Not five people per day, five prople in total. Some days have seen zero people visit. Maybe I should really make an effort to post more with handy links and stuff so that I can get people back! Although, most of the visitors I've had have found their way here through google searches for "transparent desktop icon text windows xp" or something similar. They end up here sometimes because of my post about ClearIcon (which I still use!). I'm not that bothered though as I'll still continue posting even if no one visited!
