Sorry about the lack of news yesterday, got caught up in other stuff. Configuring mailing-list software is not a whole lot of fun. Alchemy is moving house as we speak, too!

Interesting thread from Gandalf explaining how OCAU looks in 7 different browsers. We do ok, but that's not surprising given our retro-1997 design. :)

We've seen this before but it's something I get asked about pretty often - the infamous PC in a fridge project.

From V8R: just a quicky, got some 766's in today, hitting 955 np.. "SL4QF" Malay FPO/Batch: Q112A522 .. celerons, of course.

From Hoopstar: Seems the LCDcenter now supports HD44780 parallel setups.. should make it cheaper and easier for everyone to get there LCD's into there rigs! That software looks pretty cool actually..

Bit-tech made a baybus for CPU fan..

OcOpolis are pondering what it is that makes a good heatsink.

"Golden Brown" by The Stranglers is a most excellent ditty. First released in 1981, it reappeared in the recent film "Snatch". Its unusual rolling beat is due to it being in 3/4 time - which makes it a waltz - and it's rumoured to be about the drug heroin. Completely unrelated to this is Kingsley Brown, the website by the person of the same name, from the forums, which has a competition to win a mystery prize (which may or may not be heroin) by emailing them something in a silly accent. Yeess.

ComputerSource wrap up their 3-day Mobile Supremacy article by taking a look at Transmeta.

Apparently the recent appeals court ruling hasn't really changed anything about Microsoft's antitrust case.

There is a HEAP more news to come, so stay tuned..
