What is this?
This is the personal dumping ground of Gareth Latty, AKA: Lattyware. I am a programmer/web developer/Linux user/Anime watcher, and I tend to just put up random stuff that I am working on. This is by no means an extensive list of what I have done, and tends to get very out of date. The site has been redesigned a number of times. This time it's simple and to the point. No messing around. If you would like me to do some web design or programming, feel free to contact me (details below), and I'll be sure to respond. (If I do not, please try sending again, with different wording or something, stuff can get caught by my spam filter.)

Things I Endorse/Like/Use/Whatever:
-
Arch Linux:
A very good Linux distro.
-
Ubuntu Linux:
The most n00b friendly distro known to mankind. If you are currently running Windows, run this instead.

The best GTK BitTorrent client currently available. The uTorrent for Linux users.

The best IRC client out there.

Python:
My language of choice.

fullyramblomatic.com:
The home of 'Yahtzee' Ben Croshaw - If you havn't seen Zero Punctuation, you need to. Now.
-
Ctrl+Alt+Del:
A great webcomic, well worth reading.
-
Megatokyo:
Another webcomic, in manga form - slow updates mind.
-
VGCats:
Moar in the webcomic thread - you might have to wait a few months for another one though, and I thought Megatokyo was slow at updates <.>
-
RoosterTeeth:
The home of RedVsBlue that made Machinima popular. Hilarity in a box.
-
Cyanide and Happiness:
Yet another webcomic - but updated daily, not going to win an art award, but the humour more than makes up for that.
-
XKCD:
A geek humour webcomic - very funny.
-
AniDB:
The best place for finding out about Anime.
-
Slashdot:
The place to go for news, except of course, I just go for the comments.
Things I Dislike And Recommend Against Using:
-
Microsoft Windows:
Why would I want to pay for an inferior product?
-
Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Use a good browser, please! Internet Explorer can not render web pages correctly - trust me as a web developer, It's can't draw out the pages according to the W3C standards.
-
American English:
Why dumb down English spelling? It's annoying.
That is all. As you were.
