I’ve seen the new (proposed) layout for Ectomo! It’s gorgeous! It’s terrifying! It’s truly a wonder to behold! And… I’m not gonna share.
Nope, you’ll just have to wait. It should debut soon when Ectomo moves to better, more stable hosting. It’s their surprise and I’m not going to spoil it. (Man, I’d never make it at Valleywag, eh?) I think the proposed move date is rapidly approaching, but anybody who has ever run a WordPress blog will tell you, it’s never as simple as it seems.
Of course, while you’re waiting for the glorious unveiling of the new and improved Ectomo, you could always consider beating yourself repeatedly over missing our contest. Hell hath no fury like a fun idea gone down the toilet! Except for Dr. Hypercube. He gets a free pass.
Hint: To see this miraculous thing early, you could also just do what I did and spend more time in #ectomo on efnet!

Go on and just tell me what’s wrong with this picture! I don’t know if it’s coincidental or contextual but either way it is downright hilarious!

Challenge: iPods are pretty famous for taking the liberty of wiping themselves out when you plug them into a computer other than the one you set it up on in the first place. It’s got a bad case of “are you my mommy?” that makes it hostile to other PCs but you really want to be able to manage the music on more than one PC using your iPod. What to do?
