Amnesty International and the UK newspaper, The Observer have launched a campaign to fight  , by posting censored content on your site, allowing people to read what governments have attempted to suppress.

Its not often that you see a solar eclipse, and its very difficult to take a photo of one. So, if like me, you like cool photos of nature, then have a look at this. http://spaceweather.com/eclipses/29mar06c/king1.jpg

If your no good with CSS and HTML, and you host your own wordpress blog, then get a copy of Canvas and start designing and customising it. I can not test Canvas on this blog, because I can upload files like a webhost using ftp.

One thing I want to do before I die is storm chasing. Driving through tornado alley in America, chasing tornados, like in the film Twister.

Go and have a look at http://www.arson-network.com/index.php?class=tutorial explore some of the tutorials, but be warned, some of this stuff is a bit on the shady side. Everything from making keygens to installing backdors using netcat. Does contain lots of not shady tutorials, lots on perl, unix, php and python. Definate bookmark.

This is one for all the linux hackers out there, and you know which type I mean. If you can code, and have a piece of hardware that linux doesn't support, why not make yourself a driver for it? http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/24/238 has more details on the kit. Come to think of it, I can code, so I might start making Linux drivers soon. You never know.

If you own a dedicated server, or run a homegrown sever, chances are you'll have heard of .htaccess files. The file that tells Apache who to let in, and who to keep out. If you cant understand how they work, either RTFM, or use this handy generator.
