Welcome

Welcome to rho.org.uk, a little web site maintained by Rob Hague
(see below). There's a variety of stuff here - poke around and see
what you find.

Rob Hague
|
|
As mentioned above, this site is written and maintained by
Rob Hague, an expert at talking about himself in the third person.
Rob's
homepage can be found here.
In 2002, he tried (and succeeded) to
write a novel in
a month. At some point he'll take the logo off the front page. But not
yet.

Software
|
|
I occasionally write things that might be of some use to
other people (and isn't owned by some
huge corporation
or other). Some of this can
be found here.

Mac OS X Odds & Sods
|
|
I've had an Apple iBook for a while now, an have generally been very pleased with it. I've created a
virtual dumping ground for my musings about Mac OS X here.

Links
|
|
This page is a collection of
links to useful/interesting/fun stuff that I've come
across.
You may have arrived here by mistake; if you're an opera
fan, try roh.org.uk. If you're
looking for Reproductive Health Outlook, they're
here.
I also collaborate with Ben Chalmers to produce the
Imaginary Movie
Database, a site dedicated to those films that other sources
seem to miss. We've not updated in a while, but we'll start again Real Soon Now. Honest.

Dammit

|
When I find myself actually agreeing with the
actions of Anne Campbell, you know that something's seriously
wrong.

The Jargon File
|
|
The Jargon File's old
homepage seems to be unceremoniously redirecting visitors to random
Linux-oriented sites, so the link goes to a mirror. If you've not heard of it
before, it's "a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many
aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor." Taken with a grain of
salt, it's fairly interesting, and you can easily get lost in it for hours. I
particularly like the AI
Koans and A
Story About Magic.

Yikes
|
|
Follow the links in a MacSlash
story about web badges, I ended up skimming Apple's
Guidlines for Using Apple Trademarks and Copyrights, and noticed
the following, fairly broad, prohibition:
3. Variations, Takeoffs or Abbreviations: You may not
use an image of a real apple or other variation of the Apple logo
for any purpose.
"Any purpose". Thousand's of unimaginative still-life painters must
be quaking in their boots.
