Good open source software
Forevergeek mentioned a site that lists 71 Open source programs for Windows and I found it rather interesting. There were a couple of pieces of software in there I wasn't aware of and will be trying out.

Zamzar – Free online file conversion
The title says pretty much everything.
Zamzar is a new website that converts files from one format to another.
That's about it really. I'm making this post as a bookmark in case I ever need to use it in the future - obviously being "web 2.0" they can't have a memorable name.
Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur and Pangkor
The reason I went to Malaysia is because my Aunt and Uncle are teachers at a college over there. They have been living in Malaysia for 3 or 4 years now and will likely stay there for at least a couple more. When they came home last Christmas they asked my brother (Joe) and I if we would like to go over and visit them some time. We both thought it would be an enjoyable experience and said yes.
We spent ...
Cool places to work
I have mentioned the Google offices (Googleplex) before but I found out about this website today. I still think I work in a cool place, a pool table in the middle of the office can't be a bad thing can it? - but these offices do look rather funky. In particular the Red Bull one.
WordPress Tips and Tricks – Post in Advance

I am back from Malaysia
I got back from Malaysia on the 31st of October and have spent the last two days recovering. I had a great time in a lovely country and will be writing up my thoughts, and posting some of my many photos, over the next week or so.
For now I am trying to catch up on all the emails I was sent over the last couple of weeks.
The reality of beauty
Apophenia recently posted a video, which is actually a commercial for Dove, showing how they made an unremarkable female model into a stunning, if unrealistic, example of womanhood. Check out the video below.
Personally I think it would have been quicker and easier to find a model that looked more like the final example. I can't see how, or why, they would want to go to so much ...
I am on holiday in Malaysia
The reason for the lack of posts these last few days (you hadn't even noticed had you - go on, admit it?) is that I am currently on holiday in Malaysia.
As of today I will be off trekking through various remote places in Malaysia so won't be accessible via this website, or my email, until the start of November. I return on the 31st and will be doing a full write up when I get back, as well as ...
