Loads of links

My site may have been unrechable, but that hasn't stopped me from hoarding links!

First, Google is fighting Reblog by building the Google Reader. I think Google has a way to go before they can seriously challenge Reblog.

If you're on Windows, download the freeware Fresh Diagnose. What's that?

Fresh Diagnose is a utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system.

Speaking of good programs, you've got portaPuTTY, "a hacked version of PuTTY that stores all its information in files, not in the registry", which means you can put it in a USB-memory.

Also, "watch TV and record video from any source" with AVS TV Box, a freeware Windows-tool. I haven't tried it yet, though.

Yesterday I was out with Tamara and Zak. For proof, catch Zak rapping. Well, croon, then. Just like Morrissey singing "Girlfriend In A Coma" at SWSX.

Writing on Morrissey, his coming album, "Ringleader Of The Tormentors", got 5/5 from The Guardian. The Independent gives it 3/5, so they're worse off. How could they? He's only turned sickness into popular song, while the record industry is becoming shittier and shittier, courtesy of Steve Albini. We're all happy that bands like The Kleptones exist, who have now released a new album that's available for download here.

For those of you who have a tough time knowing what themes in MS Office 2007 is all about, this is a great post about it. It shows you how this will serve to create templates that are almost guaranteed to make users use your Office 2007-files the way you want them to.

Julien Temple, the man who made "The Filth And The Fury" about Sex Pistols, has now edited a lot of user-made video and made a documentary about the Glastonbury festival. Looks good and muddy. Strange, that. I'm really looking forward to the Beastie Boys concert-film, "Awesome! I Fuckin' Shot That!".

If you need online storage-space for 2USD/GB/month, go to rsync.net. This is no matter how much traffic you generate.

It seems Finland no longer has one serial-killer, but two. A 30-year-old man has murdered his 54-year-old partner, is strongly suspected for two more murders committed in the 90's and is under suspicion for more. There is more info here, sadly only in Swedish.

And yes, Wal-mart is still a turd-bag.
