RocketWerx from RocketTheme opens and it's impressive
I was thinking about how to mention this on here because this site is mostly personal. What I mean is, I'm not going to promote something for the sake of promoting it and I do have a connection with RocketWerx.
The connection is the owner of and RocketTheme. His name is Andy Miller and the reason I was thinking about how to mention it was because I didn't know how we were linked.

Glad I'm not in South Africa this weekend
They love their Rugby in South Africa. Thinking about it, maybe love isn't a strong enough word; they are madly passionate about it and yesterday those passions would have been boiling over.

They are both 2.4 GHz wireless products and while I've used wireless for a long time and worked in wireless environments for a number of years, I've never used a wireless product that I came into physical contact with until now. Rest assured I won't be going wireless again.
The electric sheep screen saver
I've picked up a new screen saver and it's not a normal one. Well it is but it changes.
