Random Bits

I haven't come across anything that deserves a full post this week, so here's 5 interesting technologies I've come across recently:

  • umask
    • How to set default permissions when creating files in linux
  • DoHop.com
    • Find Cheap Flights
  • Twubble
    • Friends of Friends for Twitter
  • JTwitter
    • Java Library for the Twitter API
  • TwitterLocal
    • Find tweets by location

And here's some more randomness:

"Switching to VoIP" by Ted Wallingford is very related to that 4IF1 are currently studying in Real Time Systems.  Chapter 6 in particular.

When ordering books from Amazon, do not screw around during the ordering stage unless you want two of the same book. /me hangs head in shame.

The 3 wireless dongle works perfectly in Ubuntu.

World of Goo is a very addictive game.

Finally, congrats to Emma Conway for her win in the NUIG Student Union elections.  Unfortunately, Pofla didn't get in.  I hoarded as many whispa's as I possibly could to prevent their dispersal to the general populace to no avail.
