The nicely named stackoverflow is a Q&A site for proggies. Some very nice codes and tools can be found at remote exploit. Downloads can be found at download32.

I thought I had this in my blog somewhere but some funny stuff with Super Mario Bros including the Super Mario Corrupter, Super Mario Gold Run, Super Mario rescuing the Princess

Ever get weird and wonderful calls/texts from numbers you have not heard of. Some may be part of scams, so you could google that first. Anyways if you want to know about phone codes for Britain, there is the UK Telephone Code Locator. For international codes, there is kropla and countrycalling codes

Computer News
A few news items grabbed my attention including a Swiss hip-hop site that was apparently unwittingly serving kiddie porn and the phone phreaker who was finally jailed for 11 years (I wonder if his telephone privileges will be wavered!) and his background is rather exotic

Britain's got last semi
I just finished watching the last semi-final heat. I was looking forward to seeing the break-dance kid, Aidan Davis and wasn't disappointed. If it wasn't for Susan Boyle's popularity he would be favourite to win the final. Also the comparisons between him and last year's winner George Sampson may stop him.
Boyle is courting controversy particularly with her recent outburst which made her sound like Rab C Nesbitt.
The other qualifier was wee Hollie Steel who actually broke down during her performance. But she got to have a second crack and did well. She got through the judge's vote, which wasn't surprising and considering what happen to fellow contestant Natalie Okri...

The final, for what it's worth, this is how I think it might finish...
1. Aidan Davis
2. Susan Boyle
3. Stravos Flatley
