Wednesday, March 16, 2005 Do it yourself "Death Clock". I don't mean to be morbid, but I thought this was a fun clock to make to remind me not to waste time (and always opt for a faster computer)...Here are instructions on making a countdown clock for your Mac which gives a "rough" estimate how much time you have left before you kick the bucket- it's based on a few stats and health factors.

A c|net editorial posits that Google may be well on its way to developing a complete suite of internet-based services that could act as a computing environment for any thin client that's capable of accessing it.

Klaus has released the latest version of Knoppix, 3.8, to the crowd at CeBIT 2005. This version includes the normal round of updates including the 2.6.11 kernel by default, KDE 3.3.2, and Firefox and Thunderbird instead of Mozilla. The exciting news, however, is the addition of UnionFS. UnionFS stacks your Knoppix ramdisk on top of the read-only filesystem on the CD, the effect being that you can apt-get install, and otherwise modify all of the files on the system as though they were all writeable. Here I'll go over why I think this is going to change Knoppix in a major way. [O'Reilly Weblogs] 8:24:19 AM    comment [] Introduction of a Bootable Windows LiveCD.
