What is a Munchy Box?
In the west of Scotland, in the towns and villages surrounding Glasgow, there is a delicacy available in some of the more discerning fast-food outlets. It’s called the Munchy Box (sometimes just Munch Box) and it’s a sight to behold.

Unfortunately, MeFi blue didn't make it on to the
Web 2.0 Palette. I never liked MeFi Link Yellow, anyway.

Wired have launched
CC Mixter; a commons pool for music samples and remixes. Mix artists can now browse, download, remix, other artist's samples and tracks, then upload their own work for the same purpose. To celebrate, a bunch artists have donated music, and a
couple of
competitions have sprung up. Listen
here.

I found
Gumtree.com when I looked over at the guy next to me's internet cafe screen the last time I was in London (does everyone do that?). It's sorta like the
London Craigslist, but with pages for cities all over the UK, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

Stop.
Selling.
Che. Doctor, Revolutionary,
Murderer? Whoever he was, it don't mostly matter when he's this generation and the last's favourite
rebelposterboy. Does it even matter, any more, the history behind such powerful brand semantics? It is, apparently, enough to be a symbol nowadays, even if in the end you're one of only ignorance. Is this the ultimate in simulacra? And will They ever stop
marketing our
martyrs? So
who was Che Guevara? And what does he want with our children?

"You will not be able to save or create new documents",
the
MS Office XP (Re-)Activation Wizard said to me this afternoon. You can imagine my horror, when I sat down to print off my housemate's coursework, only to discover that the floppy drive I'd reattached so that I could get to her document had spurred Office XP into an
unwelcome data embargo. Be warned, MeFites: Significant hardware changes piss Microsoft off! This is especially dangerous for those of us who... er... can't seem to
find our original store-bought fully licensed Office CDs.
Even though it's
been lurking a while, I'd never heard of it. Is this a justifiable (ha!) anti-piracy technique or another excellent reason not to hand in Uni assignments on time? ("I'm sorry sir; Microsoft ate my homework") Either way, I won't be able to check my email in Outlook for a while.
Until then, thank God for
openoffice.org.
