Guy writes Linux drivers for 235 webcams

Uncategorized No Comments »

Here’s a great (if slightly old) story about a guy who has single handedly written 235 drivers for cheap, Chinese webcams that previously only worked on PCs.  I know that finding drivers for Linux can be a pain and is one reason many Linux users continue to dual boot.  Strangely, although he’s done this completely off his own back and for free, he’s not made made much effort to promote his work and the drivers are still pretty hard to find.  I’m sure someone will seize the opportunity to help him there though.

Chanel Gun Heel

More bizarre fashion (remember the Pac Man fashion show?) although this is arguably a bit cooler.  I hope they bring out Uzi handbags to go with them.  Air travel is definitely out when wearing this sort of footwear.

Women – figured out at last

Uncategorized No Comments »

I was sitting in the steam room this evening, surrounded by women of various shapes and sizes and levels of attraction.  There were some men around too, I think.  Daydreaming away, I suddenly I realised why I’m single.  It’s not (neccessarily) because I’m ugly, sarcastic and thick – the real reason can be easily represented in the form of a pie chart.  And this is it:
