VLC media player -- new version

Whatever programs you're already using, if you consume audio/visual media on your gombuter, you'll want to add the latest version of VLC media player to your arsenal.

PJ Harvey - The Peel Sessions 1991-2004

His tastes and mine frequently coincided and so I've long enjoyed his recommendations and his championing of so much of my favourite music. And then of course there are his eponymous

Not today little one

When I'm not working hard fighting browser inconsistencies and bugs in other people's code (never my own, obviously), I like to unwind with some old-timey webcomics. Here are some favourites:

The heartwarming Achewood. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll barf.
