I&#8217;ve been fascinated with turning maps into 3D views since secondary school; when we learned how to create a height versus distance cross-section from a topology map.

		<description><![CDATA[DVB (digital TV) recordings, as I&#8217;ve said before, are cool but fat. I squash them down to AVI files containing XviD (MPEG4) video and MP3 audio. Yes, THAT MP3. Still an excellent audio compression scheme.

		<description><![CDATA[Or perhaps that should read over-selling. Either way, I&#8217;ve noticed a recent, semi-subliminal message from Telstra. The mantra they are getting us to chant is &#8220;I need really fast broadband, 4 to 6 megabits.
