Try search for explorer shell substitutes on Google, and this post at dx13 comes up. I wouldn’t say this was the most relavent site to be first on Google’s list. Slightly more odd is that Litestep, Geoshell and others don’t even appear on the first page. Maybe that post provoked more discussion that I realised which pushed it up to the top of the results. However, I think that more links should have appeared for litestep and so on. Shows that even Google can screw up =)

63 virus mails landed in my inbox today. That’s quite a few. Now, is there a filter setting in Thunderbird to say “delete all mails with a.pif file attachment”…?

I started a new project last night provisionally called dCron. Many of you will probably know this is the sceduler used on Linux. I basically became pretty annoyed with the Windows Task Scheduler and decided to write a basic scheduler of my own. dCron shall probably have nowhere near the flexibility of Cron.

I might well change the name before the release to avoid confusion. In fact that is more likely than not, as I am sure that the cron team wouldn’t want my lacking version having any possiblity of confusion with their app. Just have to decide on another name that sounds as cool.

Whilst I think that the p800 is nice, the pictures over at this site seem to show that the p810/p900/whatever will be even nicer. I am thinking of changing my phone at the moment, maybe I shall wait until this one comes out before I go out to the shops! If nothing else, it will hopefully bring down the price of the p800, which would be nice =)

A missive on the chatbox problems. After a check of the database table, it appears that the problem is with corrupted date formats. Some of the posts have day/month/year format and others month/day/year. This is a little weird. The dates are generated by the database when items are added. Therefore one would expect them to be in a consistent format. One possible solution is that the server has had a few problems and flipped locale a few times, resulting in the different date formats. I don’t have much idea though…
