FreeDNS

Signed up with FreeDNS since I can't get ADSL at home since Telstra cost-cut on infrastructure, and the only broadband I can get is Bigpond Cable, where I can't get a static IP address.

My domain name registrar had a web cloaking option, but it didn't work well with gallery and the web posting mechanism of PyBlosxom, hence the search for something better.

Very happy with FreeDNS so far - amazing how a free service run by one guy can provide better service than Australia's national telecommunications carrier that just reported a $AUD4,000,000,000 profit - it's highest ever :-(

GNOME Tutorials

I like GNOME.

I like the technology, I like the community, I like the fun.

Not only does GNOME now have some great applications, it's now producing some good developer documentation, and has done so for some time.

My TiVo

I was able to get a TiVo Series 1 from eBay for only $AUD100 while in Chicago recently. Amazing that my seller would ship to an Amerisuite hotel in Illinois, but not to my home in Australia! Also picked up ethernet for it, which cost me more than the TiVo itself...

Something to play with in my spare time :-P
