Here’s a nifty site: Moviepig.com - the site is easy to navigate and fundamentally gets you to rank movies you’ve seen in order of preference.

Based on heuristics, it compares your preferences to other people who express similar preferences and thus tries to predict other movies you would rank highly and thus possibly wish to see.

My quality of life has been enhanced by the latest great gadget I’ve brought home – the iRobot Roomba robotic vaccuum cleaner. Why, it’s even programmable, but I don’t know if I dare risk upsetting its utilitarian purposes!

Now if only iRobot would release the Scooba mopping robot here too!

I’ve come across a deviously engaging set of Flash-based puzzle games at http://www.foon.co.uk/farcade/ known as the Hapland series.

This month’s speaker at the Newcastle Coder’s Group, Tatham Oddie, spoke on Atlas (known generally as Ajax) – looks very impressive, giving ASP.NET 2.0 apps a much more responsive UI. The official site is http://atlas.asp.net.
