First SARS case in Germany: Web.de is reporting on what looks like the first SARS case to arrive in Germany. And not so far away from here either.

Sex sells volleyball: Tecmo is trying to ban "nude" patches to its volleyball game for the XBox. Don't they realize that patches like that will actually sell more games for them? Perhaps I should get an XBox next...

Guido goes 3650: Guido bought a Nokia 3650 at the weekend and so we all took a look yesterday when he bought it into work. Neat device - but with a slight "plastic" feel to the keyboard. And it'll bulge your pocket for sure. Still very nice in all and I want one.

Shaping the language: Notice how the war is adding new terms to our everyday life? Last week it was Embedded and this week it's "friendly fire".

Blogger broken: And it's not an April Fools trick. Looks like Blogger.com has been hit by serious hardware problems. Mum's published weblog is not working.

Another Cocoon fork: Oh dear, it does look as though the Cocoon project is nearly dead. Talk of porting the whole thing over to a different language. That's probably it then.

MT Hacker: Today I hacked my first MoveableType template. We're doing an internal setup for information management and looking at using MT for part.
