I’ve uploaded some of the Glastonbury 2005 photos – write-up to follow shortly.

Finally got back from my Glastonbury trip this evening. Tent stayed dry, feet stayed dry. Awesome weekend. Full report and photos tomorrow…

Setting off for Glastonbury shortly. Dead excited. Equipped for all weathers. Must dash…

Whoo-hoo! Looks like I’ll be going to Glastonbury this year, staying in the VIP area no less. No mingling with the great unwashed hoi polloi for me, it’ll all be Pimms and canapés and manicures. Actually, it’s all rather out of the blue, so I’m not entirely sure what perks are on offer in the posh section.

Certainly there’s going to be a better class of mud in the VIP area — I hear it’s made of dirt flown in especially from Tibet, blended with some mud from the original Woodstock festival. No doubt I’ll be staying in a centrally-heated luxury Bedouin tent with my own private jacuzzi and bidet. “Kate, shut the fuck up and stop Pete puking outside my tent!”.

Nah, there’s probably a VVVVIP area for the celebs — the VIP area’s bound to be full of corporate hospitality wankers. Still, I fully intend to make the most of it. Cheers Si!

This nice Flash animation makes a very good case for health and safety at work. Actually not so funny when you consider that between April 2003 and March 2004, 70 construction workers lost their lives in the UK. (via Bloggerheads)

On a less serious note, news story of the week must be Penis Closes Road:

The bomb squad was brought in to handle the situation and a remote-controlled robot used to make the fake penis safe.

Well I’ve finally taken the plunge and updated my iBook to run Tiger. Don’t want to tempt fate, but it seems to have gone smoothly. It’s definitely more memory-hungry than Panther, but does feel slightly faster overall. Spotlight’s a welcome addition, although I think it needs a little more work. I feel fairly ambivalent about Dashboard—not sure how much I’ll really use it once the novelty wears off (the Magic 8 Ball widget has proved quite useful: Shall I do any work today? “Definitely not”. OK then!). Early days yet though…
