Yawn. This from MediaPill is marvellous.

The other day I contacted all 9 of London's MEPs to ask them about their views on European Software Patents. The first response, from John Bowis OBE is in.

Okay, I'm no CSS wizard, hey, this site hardly uses CSS (at the moment), but CSS boxes are rubbish.

At work, we use AIT-2 tapes for backups (both the 36GB and 50GB type). This is all a bit unconfirmed, but we've had a few problems with read/write errors. It seems an "erase" function on the tape resolves the issue.

Good Web Site advice. I liked it - although, I don't do much of it ;-) From there is CSS Zen Garden - also good, and finally iStockPhoto. I have some work to do...

The European Software Patent vote is tomorrow. You might like to talk to your MEPs.

A nice round up of various antics at the BBC and news of the gay sausage throwing arrangement. Also, the obligatory Flash game with a Blaine theme and news of a Blaine-Scam...

I'd almost forgotten about Ananova's quirkies section. Here a few nice ones: Magician to drive 12m blindfolded (shame Blaine won't try that!) Customer drinks petrol from pumps (could be related) Jordan should do Blaine stunt, Prize Draw to make students less sexy ("might distract male students"!!) Odds not good on Blair staying on as PM

I see Blunkett quietly said that he'd like mandatory ID cards in the UK by next year. Sneaking it in on a Sunday so less people would hear, I guess? Also, he has "no clue" how many asylum seekers there are in the UK. Well, Mr. Blunkett, what do you do all day? He says the government needs "new ideas" to survive. Well, Mr. Blunkett, how about a new idea then?
