Google Offices + More
Saturday 22 March 2008 at 1:38 pm. A friend from the UK ('hi' Stuart) sent me this link to Googles new Swiss Offices - looks like a fun place to work! We have a kitchen cleaning rota, useless aircon and fraying carpet at work - other than that its OK. Here are some pics of other Google Offices (New York, China & Googleplex).I prefer cats over dogs - none of these pictures work in quite the same way if you substitute a dog - icanhascheezeburger ?
I'm always on the hunt for a better Remote Desktop client application - sure you can save your RDP connections with a custom MMC but its kind of painful. Instead try something like Code4Wards RoyalTS or VisionApps Remote Desktop. RoyalTS seems to be under more active development and doesn't seem to have some of the clipboard hassle I've had with VisionApps RDP but VisionApp has a couple of compelling extra features - tabbed sessions and the ability to save and re-use authentication details into groups for re-use. Having said that teh clipboard glitches were enough to make me switch to the less feature rich but more reliable RoyalTS.
I make mistakes slooooowly
In todays fast moving world if you're going to screw up do it quickly - How to Think: Managing brain resources in an age of complexity.Pretty amusing - Expelled from Expelled. Already 1000+ comments which is pretty remarkable. The film in question is here - I guess if it were taken as a comedy it might be pretty funny but as a vehicle for Intelligent Design it looks pretty lame.
Retro DJ's - ShellacSisters. If you're in the UK and throwing a party this lot seem to have an truly original take on a classic period in vinyl.
Another comic makes it online Elfquest. Seems pretty rudimentary so far - maybe it gets better later on. It took Cerebus awhile to get past its Conan-esque origins too.
Nice typeface for presentations - Nudist. Blurs out the lower half of the type. At different point sizes you get 'censored' signs or fig-leaves.
Handy - Comprehensive Unix Cheatsheet.
