Bookcrossing sounds like a neat way of getting rid of old books that you no longer wish to read, but would also be interested in seeing where it goes. You release a book into the wild and then if anyone else picks it up then they go to the bookcrossing place and add their comments etc….Seeing as though I have tons of books, Congleton might well be appearing in the list soon….. Its certainly a unique way of clearing out the bookshelves!
we get some new carpet (or lino to be more exact) in the house today – this time going in the upstairs bathroom and downstairs loo. It will be really funny to watch Sir slipping on the new surface 🙂 Another name we could have for him is AliBaba if you have seen the latest webcam picture!
I can’t believe that the two main headlines on the radio this morning were two new legal turnarounds. The first was to exempt the American armed forces from any war-crimes action whilst involved in a peace keeping mission. Does this include action taken in Afghanistan and such like? Why should they be exempt and no other country. What have they got to hide? Surely the whole point of having war crimes investigations is to investigate what has gone wrong?
The other matter is that some judicial courts in the uk will loose the right to trial by Jury. There are enough miscarriages of justice and incomptencies in the uk courts and now they want to do this, so now just one person decides if another person is guilty or not?
AND they’ve decided to decriminalize cannabis too…..just what is happening to justice? Thats three really weird and mixed up rulings in two days!
Don’t forget to check out the webcam for more pictures of Sir
Grrr – Freeserve have just spammed me with a special offer of a domain of £10 for one year – seeing as though i can get them half that price and already have about 5 domains……I don’t think I’ll be very interested!
More comments work ok in opera, but no other browsers – whats up with that? I’m wondering if the code that does the comments is bust as I’m sure it used to work!
Yet more Think i’ve cracked it!
Just taken a HTML 3.2 exam and the results are pretty pleasing, including the comment that I am capable of mentoring others in this area – which is especially appropriate as that is what I do in the evenings at work one night a week!
Play battleships online! Took me 32 shots, 17 hits with a kill ratio of 53% to win! – beat that
PGP – you know that security program that is sooooo good that it encrypts your mails and other stuff that you don’t want theFeds to read – has had a second bug found in it. Admittedly this security hole, which allows others to run code on your machine is found in the outlook plugin, but surely this is a major problem – how can a relied upon security program have a flaw such as this…….Maybe its a consipiracy theory to stop people using outlook (like I have done but not for that reason). Oh and there is a patch available.
as you can tell from the webcam pictures, it is extremely hard to get photo’s of an 8 week old kitten!
