These are all the things in Siobhan's archives tagged as "geek". If you want to narrow it down, you can use more than one tag, seperating them with a space.
Free NetNewsWire
Well bugger me. Newsgator have just announced that they're making the full
Lifelogging
I dunno about you, but I seem to be on a large number of social networking sites. I keep getting these little invites to try out, and as much as I love the thrill of New Things!™, sometimes I do find it rather hard to keep up with everything that's going on on them.

ASCII Boxes
Draws any kind of box around some given text - That's just what I was looking for :-) Ain't the Internets great?
On a roll
Um, I'm being a bit quiet today :unsure: - I had a chat with one of my colleagues yesterday afternoon, about the new website I'm doing for work ... and I've been working on inplementing some of her ideas.
Scalability
There is (almost) nothing more wonderful than having a confusing and frustrating problem with something - a problem that threatens to derail almost everything you've worked on for over a year - then finding out eactly what's up, and fixing it.
tail -f twitter
You're going to hate this one. It's got (sloppy) code, references to my "of little interest" three-way identity thing, and revolves around Twitter. I'd stop reading now to be honest.
GoogleTube
Can't remember where I found a link to this (probably Boing Boing, which I want to rant about later), but there's a really cool video about the early origins of ArpaNet made in 1972 on Google Video at the moment.
By Proxy
Seeing as (a) my head is all over the place today, unable to focus on a task for more than fifteen seconds without swimming off into a daydream involving the words "eighteen days", and (b) an administrative cock-up has left me without my external server today (meep), I thought I'd ask an incredibly boring and technical question of you - my Wonderfully Knowledgeable Genius Friends From The Internets™

The Sound Of A Million Geeks Lamenting
Has del.icio.us gone down? Is it just me? How are people who use it specifically to organise their bookmarks coping right now?
CurranMagick
Perhaps I'm wanking my own ego a little too much here, but I like to think that there's a certain 'recognisable' style to the self portraits I've been doing recently - a kinda 'softness' to them. Perhaps.
Note To Self
Sorry, ignore this, it's just that I had a really good idea on the way back from the shops a second ago, and I wanted to write it down before I forgot about it.
Iffy
Do you have a friend called "Fiona" who sends you emails? Does you friend shorten her name to the first two letters? Does she, therefore, end all her emails thus: "fi"? Do you wonder why she doesn't therefore begin all her emails thus: "if". Are you a sad fuck like me who spends too long staring at code that it's started to take over your everyday language?
