Web week

He's hairy and a geek: He's the man who has built his own Tivo box for recording straight from the television to hard drive, complete with makeshift programming guide. He also has his own weblog for geeks. Check it out for musings on the internet, gadgets and technological trends.

Blogging street: "I'm a geek, and I thought it would be cool to get the domain name cuba.st since I live on Cuba St in central Wellington, New Zealand. Blogging seemed like a reasonable and simple way to publish some content," writes the owner and creator of this particularly techy blog. Check for personal takes on everything from "drive failure" to "encrypted instant messaging".

The dark side of tech: This sporadically updated blogging site is dubbed by its creators "a place of Bile & other Humours". Lots of interesting tidbits from around the web that obviously end up in this blogger's email inbox on a regular basis.

Redeeming the blog: Handy menus categorise the contents of this blogging site under headings such as "geek", "politics" and "vitriol". At the moment Scroll Redemption is more travel log than tech diary.

One big blog: This tech blog seems to run on for ever with postings about all sorts of issues affecting its owner and the world of technology at large. Good for infrequent browsing.

Call me a heathen: A particularly techy blog from an opensource computing nut who relishes the fact that he can run a Microsoft Windows XP desktop theme on his version of Linux known as GNOME. "Call me a heathen, but it does look nice and clean," he writes. Complete with lines of computer code, serious geeks only need apply.
