I just found out that Netflix has all of the Indiana Jones films available for streaming. Guess, I’m not gonna be doing anything productive today.

Looks like Bing creates a custom homepage on your birthday based on the date set in your Microsoft account.

That’s pretty neat.

If you like Audiobooks check out LibriVox which offers free public domain audiobooks that you can download. The books tend to be a bit older but at least there is no DRM.

Interesting video about how surprisingly common Rogue waves actually are.

For anyone using Aurora store from F-Droid make sure you change to the new v3 package which is a separate listing from the previous v2 one.

It’s interesting that most of todays browsers have heritage going back to KHTML (by KDE). Chromium, WebKit, Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. all have some link to it. The only browser I can think of that doesn’t currently have KHTML code in it is Firefox.

Water.css is a neat little stylesheet that you can include on your static HTML documents to make them look a bit more modern. It doesn’t have any classes, just the tags.

I think Google’s longest running chat app has probably been the chatroom functionality of Google Docs.

Interesting video about the original UNIX philosophy of combining small programs together to complete more complex tasks.

Personally I wouldn’t touch the Lyft or Uber IPOs with a ten-foot pole. They’re both companies that haven’t made any significant profits and are largely reliant on new investor money coming into the business just to stay afloat.

If they do eventually turn around and become profitable then maybe I’d reconsider but I see no reason to rush into a decision by buying at the IPO price. If something is a good investment today it’ll still be a good investment in 5 years.
