Firstly, before I get onto the good stuff I’ve just received an email from a website containing a login password. Here’s the email:

Your username is: XXXXXX
Your password is: YGb(vIa^)OEK

Now I’m all for unguessable passwords, but adding punctuation into the mix is going a bit too far! And before you wonder, no I don’t really care that I’m plastering a password across the Internet because it doesn’t work any more.

So, today I have just got around to writing up how I have connected my Nokia N810 to my Garmin eTrex GPS so that I can download data from the GPS using GPSBabel (which I had to recompile). You can find the writeup on my main website at this address.

I have also written about how I found an actual use for Twitter!

And finally I’ve finished installing things into the Compaq Presario 486 I was given. It now has the ability to go online and the hackjob 486 DX2/66 upgrade with heatsink and fan seems to be holding too. I will now install Doom on it just as a test. It can then go and sit somewhere with DOS games on. I need to write this up later.
