Saw The Spaceheads at the Old Hall festival.
Amazing. Drums and trumpet and some electronics producing a stunning
sound.

Wireless Networking HOWTO or How stupid are Apple?
How do you attach a computer to a wireless network?
Its really very simple, all you have to do is buy a wireless card, install it and you are away.
Unless the computer is a Macintosh.
In this case, you have to make sure that you bought the right computer in the first place because you can only get wireless network cards for computers which Apple deems to be "Airport ready" or "Airport extreme ready". Despite the fact that Power Macs have PCI slots and USB ports, Apple don't produce a PCI wireless card or a wireless USB adapter. An Airport card seems to have a PCMCIA interface and an Airport extreme card has a Mini-PCI interface.
Another in a long line of mistakes by Apple which help to explain why the struggle as a computer company.

High Level Suicide
Headline in today's Sun "Skydiver in 9,000ft Suicide". Surely the actual suicide took place somewhat lower?
