I’m posting this here simply for my own reference because Domino’s don’t publish it on their own site – I often order online and don’t always have a menu to hand. Hope I didn’t make you hungry!

The Rock Band iPhone application is pretty good fun, but can be time consuming. Enterprising blogger Joe Bowers had a brainwave, and built a robot to play the game for him, saving him heaps of time!

Seriously though, this is an impressive bit of robot-building, and Joe has documented the entire build process from start to finish on his blog.

I just stumbled across a great blog, Cover Lay Down,which features folk-style cover versions of popular songs. Highly recommended, although if you’re anything like me you’ll be there for hours!

Mark Pilgrim discusses the history of the now-ubiquitous IMG tag and the controversy surrounding the way it has changed the web.

Here’s a useful tutorial for WordPress users wanting to move to a different domain. I’ve had to carry out this process a couple of times and although it’s not rocket science, it’s handy to have a step-by-step list to ensure the process goes smoothly.

This is one of a series of WordPress guides that cover a whole host of topics.

This historical achievement is what inspired Stanley Kubrick to use the song in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Access 97, for some unknown reason, seems to chew up all available CPU when it’s idle. Microsoft acknowledges this but has never provided a fix or workaround. It turns out this isn’t much of a problem – if you have other applications running which need CPU time, Access will gladly relinquish it. But PCs and laptops have evolved in the past 10 years, and often have variable-speed fans, which invariably sound like a cross between a vacuum cleaner and a jet engine when running at full pelt. Fortunately, there’s an unofficial patch available to bring Access’ CPU usage down to a more respectable level. Being unofficial, it’s of course not supported by Microsoft (or even the author of the patch), but it does seem to work fine on my system. The patch needs the latest Office 97 Service Release (SR2b), a 24MB free download from this MS page.

If, like me, you’re fed up with Windows XP SP2’s annoying “Open File Security Warning?”,  just create a system environment variable called SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS and set it to 1 to disable the feature.

Annoying, isn't it?

Windows XP and Vista contain a feature that is supposed to help you locate the right program to open a file with an unknown extension. I’ve never found this particularly useful – luckily, it’s easy to nuke it by employing a quick Registry hack. Check out this Lifehacker post for the details.
