PicLens: Discover More →
An excellent plugin that turns an rss feed of images into a full screen slideshow. I tested it with flickr and the results were good if not a little slow. It also took me a while to realise I had to hover over an image to click the ‘play’ icon to start.
chrisroos: Hmm, Virtual PC 2007 complains about my processor when running on WinXp in Parallels on my Macbook. (via Twitter / chrisroos)

chrisroos: Firebug lite (getfirebug.com/lite.html) is cool. Internet Explorer is not. (via Twitter / chrisroos)

So it ‘looks’ like I’m logged in (apart from them not changing my name yet - ‘welcome chris bruce’) but I can’t actually do anything without logging in again. Brilliant.

Depositing cheques from home. An awesome idea. I hate receiving cheques as it means that I have to venture into the town to pay it into a bank. Come on Hsbc, follow in USAA’s footsteps.

Useful info about Dell. The sort of stuff that Dell would be wise to publish themselves - instead of issuing a takedown notice. At least they saw the light in the end and said that they were wrong to issue the takedown.
