Sleepytime is a REM sleep cycle calculator. Give it a time you want to wake up at and it will tell you what time to go to bed, it does this by calculating that the average person needs 5-6 REM cycles per night at 90 minutes each to get a good nights sleep.
Wunderlist is a simple task manager that does what it says on the tin. There are clients for all the major platforms and a web client.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Just watched the new Apes film and straight off the bat they have changed the timeline from the originals. In the original timeline Caesar was an advanced ape from the future, but in this case is kind of genetically engineered. There are many parallels to the original film to the point where the scene in which Caesar is put in the animal enclosure is almost an exact copy of when Charlton Heston was put in the Human zoo. The immortal line "Take your stinkin paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" is spoken by non other than Draco Malfoy. There are many more nods to the originals and it is quite fun to spot them as the movie goes on. The end felt more of an anti-climax but still well presented and leaves the option for the continuation of the story. All in all it's not exceptional but watchable enough. 3.5 out 5 stars.

Cargo Noir
It was my girlfriends birthday recently and one of the presents I bought her was a game called Cargo Noir. This is an auction mechanic board game with the theme of buying and selling cargo from different ports,which are then converted into victory points. A player starts out with three ships and a 6 slot warehouse and can buy upgrades such as more ships and a bigger warehouse as the game progresses.The artwork is cartoony but as good as I have come to expect from Days of Wonder. The board itself is made up from several different pieces and certain ports are only open if the required number of players is met. The games flows very well and is very easy to pick up. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fun game to play with friends who are not necessarily board gamers.
giffgaff
In a fit of direct debit checking I realized my phone contract monthly payments had grown to a whopping £30-£35 a month. Seeing as I primarily use only data and texts this seemed pretty steep. So I started looking round for cheaper options and a friend of mine mentioned giffgaff. A sim card only phone company that is insanely cheap. I have now dropped my monthly bill to £10 a month. This gives me unlimited data and texts and 250 minutes free every month, as well as free calls to any giffgaff customer. They use a system of goodybags ranging from £5 to £25 month that you purchase to get varying combinations of texts/minutes and data. They also have a payback system where for helping people on the forums and for handing out sim cards that get activated, you get points that convert into top ups, so theoretically you could not have to pay for any but your first goodybag if you work hard. The network itself is piggybacked on to O2's network and so far I have had no connectivity issues and my data connection has been far faster than when I was on Vodafone.
If you would like a sim, feel free to use my affiliate link HERE , we both get a free £5 when it is activated.

Boxee Box
So after three days with the Boxee Box by D-link I am pretty impressed with it so far. It has played every .mkv, .avi and .iso I have thrown at it and is near silent. Alot of the backend setup is the same as XBMC since it is a fork, so if you have used XBMC before you should have no problems. The current issues I have are:
1. The home screen is biased towards online content. I would rather have my local library and RSS feeds on my home screen and there is no choice to change it.
2. There is no "Music" quick link on the main bar, you have to navigate to it via "Files" and no fetching of metadata and album art from the net.
3. IMDB is the only scraper for video metadata. Now this is fine for movies but absolutely crap for TV series eg: Sharpe is a TV series not a set of movies but IMDB list them as movies. Give me the option to use TVDB.org and themoviedb.org as they are both far superior to IMDB.
4. Theme/Skinning options, I'm sorry but the default boxee theme is god awful. Give the community an option to create some themes.

Two commands to run on a new Kubuntu install
I am sure all in the Linux world will have heard of Ubuntu, there is also Kubuntu which is the Ubuntu base but utilises the KDE software compilation for the desktop instead of Gnome. The KDE group update fairly regularly and as such the Kubuntu team have their own ppa for the updated builds to be distributed to Kubuntu users. After a standard install and update of the system drop to a terminal windows and type
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
There are more ppa's made available by the Kubuntu team for backports and other features. You can view them at the bottom of THIS guide.
