Sand

Feeling bored? Feel like procrastinating the day or night away? Feel like doing something with almost absolutely no point for hours on end? Feel like working on something for hours that adds no real value to your life or existence in any way what so ever? (Wow, that sounds like…… Wow)

Well then thisissand.com is just what you need. You can create all sorts of wonderful designs, provided they are comprised of strange pyramid shapes and you don’t mind it having a sandy texture. I do find it quite amusing though, the way the little granules of sand tumble down my monolithic grand sand pile. I must say I have created some rather awesome pyramids, consisting of many psychedelic stripes and colours.

The aspect of thisissand.com that intrigues me the most the is scripting going on behind the scenes, I’d like to have a look at that Action Script! The way people recreate physics on objects using programming interests me greatly.

Notepad++

Are you one of the many many geek types who think Notepad is awesome? You should try Notepad++ it is even more awesome!

You can use Notepad++ for everything you used normal Notepad for, some of the great things about it include; tons of plug-ins, syntax highlighting for just about any programming or scripting language you can think of, and one of my favourites; the FTP plug-in! This plug-in is awesome, you can login to an FTP server and start to edit files as you please, the files are stored locally in a temp location and the remote version is updated on save.. AWESOME!
