This is very clever: 20q.net:
This is an experiment in Artificial Intelligence. The program is very simple but its behavior is complex. Everything that it knows and all questions that it asks were entered by people playing the Game. Twenty Questions is a learning system; the more it is played, the better it gets.
Those of you in the UK should take a minute to go and sign the petition at Broadband 4 Britain which calls for the government to get its act together as regards broadband Internet access. The site aims to collect 1 million names by Christmas. Go on, it only takes a moment…
Oh dear, Rob had a little accident at the weekend. Strictly speaking he had two accidents, but he only mentions the second one on his web site. In fact he tells a fib. Fleece? No Cortina, you mean dry pair of trousers, don’t you, mate? ;) Anyway, here’s a link for Rob.
Right, I’m off to [...]

dedicated to investigating and reporting on the impact of the American culture on the integrity, self respect, and coping skills of youth, and inherently on [...]
Now that the Northern Alliance has taken Kabul. Mass Beard-shaving, music-playing, and kite-flying ensues, will we be seeing a late entry into Miss World competition from Miss Afghanistan? I mean, surely it’s about time these poor oppressed women were treated to some western culture and freedom? But then again, as one BBC correspondent put it, [...]
Okay, far too lazy busy to pop anything up here for a while, but felt inspired to put digits to keyboard after watching the Miss World competition semi-final on TV last night. How can a programme manage to be quite so laughably vacuous? It was quite compulsive in its awfulness and lack of irony. If [...]
With a view to watching a spectacular fireworks fest, met up at the Toucan at 7pm on Saturday. Rather predictably though, we didn’t stagger out of there until closing time, completely missing the display.
