Friday Linky returns! It took a break last Friday because MICROSOFT vs ZONEALARM FIGHT BATTLE happened, but now I am guns blazing, roofs raising and links… er… liaising.
\nWorkers in the programming mines will appreciate Flatlander’s account of the secret origins of his programming career<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As a poor Victorian youth, Mr Babbage (bless ‘im) used me and my fellow urchins to demonstrate the principles of the Analytical Engine to the nobs. “You pretend to be wheel number six,” he’d say. “When young Pip next to you carries the ten, you adds one to yourself, and when you gets up to ten, you lets Randolph here know about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Delightful photogallery of geeks, in costume, in their own homes. <\/a>. Steve Schofield is the photog. After seeing this, you will never again need to see an artfully-framed photograph of a klingon in the kitchen.
\nThe Alligator has been blogging lately of miracle fruit, the weirdo fruit that makes sour things taste sweet. If you were as puzzled as me, the AV Club does an extensive taste test<\/a>.
\nThis one is basically just for Pearce. A blog about a dude watching all 73 “video nasties” banned in the UK in the 80s<\/a>. Featuring lurid movie posters!
\nYou’re already watching Dr Horrible<\/a>, right? It’s a singing superhero short film in three parts, written by Joss Whedon and starring Doogie Howser, Captain Tightpants and Cute Girl What Was In Buffy Season 7. Viewable free of any charge up until Sunday night (U.S. time). Very worth your while.
\nAnd last… well, I hesitate to link to this because the site is loaded with popups and weirdness. In fact, I don’t recommend clicking on this link unless your virus security is up to date because, man, something untoward is going on with all that code. But I’m going to link to it anyway because the photos are interesting. It’s a “door to hell” in Russia<\/a> – a big gouge in the earth that’s been aflame for 35 years<\/em>. Weird, beautiful, unsettling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
