Gravity Defying Homes
Gangster House (Archangelsk, Russia)
Though incomplete, the “Gangster House” is believed to be the world's tallest wooden house, soaring thirteen floors to reach 144 feet (about half the size of London’s Big Ben). The homeowner or gangster, Nikolai Sutyagin, had all intentions of finishing the construction but his dream went on hold when he got locked up behind bars for his third jail sentence. Now out of jail and out of money, the ex-convict lives at the bottom of this precarious tower of wood.
MacOS X Local Mirror « WordPress Codex
by mozkart
Here's what I did to set up a local mirror of my Wordpress blog on MacOS X.
Contents
[hide]
* 1 Motivation and Assumptions
* 2 Configure Apache and PHP
* 3 Create a example.mirror static site
* 4 Install and Configure MySQL
* 5 Set up the WordPress user and database
* 6 Finishing off
* 7 Automating it
Motivation and Assumptions
Firstly, why do this? Well I can think of a few reasons:
* keeping an up-to-date and working backup
* using it for testing changes to the blog before you inflict them on the world. Like formatting, software updates, or anything really.
* It's fun (except for the MySQL setup, which we'll get to)
The basic idea is to take a snapshot of the database and file system your hosting provider, download it and extract it locally, then be able to view the result.

Newbie's guide to Facebook | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone
by mozkart
Facebook is a social networking service that lets you connect with friends, co-workers, and others who share similar interests or who have common backgrounds. Many use it as a way to stay in touch after finishing school, or as a way to share their life publicly. What makes Facebook different from other social networks are its extensive privacy controls, its development platform, and its large and quickly growing user base. Facebook has been called the "thinking person's" social network. Compared to many other social networks, Facebook gets new features and improvements on a regular basis.

Slashdot | Additional Software for a Homemade PVR?

I'm almost done loading up a new Gentoo installation paired with MythTV and a hardware MPEG2 encoder. I'm looking forward to finishing but before I let it loose upon my television, I was wondering what else I should compile in. Samba File sharing? A webserver (for watching shows on the road)? A CPU/Memory monitor? An additional media player? Not to start a flamewar, but should I do KDE, Gnome, Enlightenment, or some other window manager (especially when viewed on a TV screen)? What bells and whistles can I add to make my system that much more complete?
Dell W2600 - CNET.co.uk [print version]

While the design of the W2600 punches above its weight, the video performance is more indicative of its budget roots. The torture test for any LCD is giving it a plain old analogue TV signal and then finishing it off with some Freeview programming, and with these odds Dell's effort didn't fare too well. The 25ms response time just isn't fast enough to deal with swift camera pans and moving images, and the 500:1 contrast ratio can't reproduce any detail when you're viewing a dimly lit movie. These sort of problems will affect the viewing pleasure of even the most undemanding viewer, so if you've got your heart set on an LCD, you'll have to spend up to £1,000 more to bag something comparable to a CRT from low-quality sources.
