Interesting reading: is violent behavior caused by extreme melatonin imbalances, up to the point of turning people into serial killers?

I’ve been looking for a new place to find cool desktop wallpapers, since the venerable Skinz.org appears to now have more ads than content. So far, I’ve found Chapter3, which has some really amazing designs.

I’ve used lots of different instant-messaging clients, but I must say that I’ve never been as impressed by any of them as quickly as I’ve been impressed by Adium.

Adium is a free AIM client, written by Adam Iser. It’s lean, small, and very fast, which are reasons enough for it to replace my default OS X messenger client. The installation was (as always, on OS X) drag’n’drop simple, and the configuration options are very thorough. My install takes up a total of 2.5mb of drivespace, and in its idle state the app uses roughly 0% CPU load. If you’re interested in how it works, the author has released the program under the GPL, and has the source code freely-available on his site.

What is an angstrom?
