The fine folks over at Way of the Rodent have released an awesome selection of paper print-cut-and-fold templates for some old school video arcade cabinets from the 1980’s. Now you too can have a mini version of the cabinet for Pac-Man, Tempest, or Defender sitting on your desk! I made a little Pac-Man in about 10 minutes. Mental note: buy some glue sticks. Tape is too hard to work with.
A tribute to 16K
Ah, sweet sweet nostalgia! The fine folk over at b3ta.co.uk teamed up with MJ Hibbett & The Validators to come up with a brilliant piece of flash that brings back so very many memories from the days of tape-loading games and Commodore PETs. Ah.. those were the days…

HttpCompress v6 is out
I just released version 6 of HttpCompress. This version includes some wonderfully more intelligent logic for determining when to write the headers that indicate that the response was compressed. As a result, Server.Transfer and the default exception reporting page in ASP.NET both work out of the box, though their responses are not compressed.
