Richard Kadrey - a Sci-fi Author with Sense
Well, there is some controversy about making classic works available online. Google are getting into a load of trouble anyway.
Thankfully some authors have good sense, Richard Kadrey has given his blessing to Metrophage online at Voidspace - which is very cool...

Romanian Recipes on Delia's Website
I've always been very proud of my wife Delia, and especially her cooking. (Those of you who have visited us will know what I mean.)
She now has her own website, with some traditional Romanian recipes:
In case you hadn't guessed, the website name is a tribute to that other cooking Delia: Delia Smith .
There's still more work to be done on the site, more recipes and photos and so on, but it's a good start.

Ruggedized Devices and the Top Ten New Smartphone Technologies
There are two new articles in the Science & Technology section of Voidspace. These are:
Top Ten Smartphone Technologies
A close look at the top ten up and coming technologies for smart-phones and mobile devices. From flexible displays, to 3D accelerators, to fuel cells; there are interesting changes afoot in the world of communications.
-
If you're anything like me, then any new and cool gadget comes with a risk that it will soon die from being dropped, squashed or otherwise destroyed.
This article is a look at some of the cutting edge rugged mobile devices, with a review of their features and the pros and cons. There is some impressive looking gear shown here.
These articles are both written by Rene Tse. I particularly like the article on rugged mobile devices. I'd love to get a new PDA [1], and I even kept my last one for two years without breaking it, but having one that can cope with rain and klutz-induced-disaster would be a big bonus.
| [1] | I'm particularly tempted by the HTC Athena which is now available in the UK. Luckily for my pocket, my current contract doesn't expire for another few months. |

Cyberpunk in the Library
The excellent Bridge Trilogy by William Gibson has long been available from the Cyberpunk Library. Now thanks to the work of Joao Lobato and Vicente Espinoza, they have been proof read, and are available for download separately :
The Work of William Gibson
If you've never read Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties, then they're well worth a read. Excellent stuff.

The Old Blog Archives
There was so much ancient wisdom distilled into my old blog, that I couldn't let it just creep ignominiously into the pages of cyber-history. More to the point I'm still getting some hits from google with the old entries. Here are the archives of my previous Blogger based blog.
