Whether you're enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon right now or enduring travel chaos across Europe as a result of the naughty volcano eruption, we all know there's always time for a little bit of internet fun (time-wasting) in the way of gossip, news, a few Youtube clips etc... So, with that in mind, here are a couple of nice links for making the next few minutes of your life a bit more interesting (or diverting your mind from airport lounge desperation if you are one of those unlucky ones).
The first item comes courtesy of Techcrunch, who have posted some screenshots of a website designed by Mark Zuckerberg (aka Facebook creator/owner of course) back in 2001. You already know before you look at the pics that the site is going to be awful (probably wouldn't be interesting otherwise would it?) - and indeed it doesn't disappoint in this regard.
I suppose the nice lesson here is that no matter how awful your coding skills might be right now - there's still hope for you in the tech world. (Also, just to be clear, Zuckerberg's 2001 coding skills are roughly on a par with my 2010 skills - so I count myself among those comforted by this example...)
The second little curiosity is also brought to you by the good folks over at TC, by way of a short video clip of what happened when a group of friendly Slovenian hackers gatecrashed TC HQ one sunny day this week as part of a sight-seeing/coding (a nice combination always) trip round Silicon valley. The 8-minute clip is entertaining and, moreover, potentially quite useful if you require any work done as the group are offering their coding services for free to whoever has 'a cool idea' for the duration of the trip...
Anyway hope you enjoyed those little bits as much as I did - now get back to work ;)
