ICIGSITBOTH

Following the initiative to get everyone to store their next of kin’s phone number in their mobiles under ICE (In Case of Emergency), Bloggerheads has details of the ICIGSITBOTH initiative: Eight out of ten people aren’t carrying information that would help if they were accidentally or mistakenly shot in the back of the head. Storing [...]

Not a proper post

I’ve just updated b2evolution, so please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Terrorists and the Scum

When the server suffered a disc failure at the weekend it wiped out all the posts I’d made following the bombings in London. Rather than try to recreate what I’d written, I’ll just add the two main links I’d mentioned: The London News Review published A Letter To The Terrorists, From London which summed up [...]

Oops server hiccup

Unfortunately the database server fell over on Saturday afternoon, and had to be restored from an old backup from last week. Consequently the last few posts and comments have vanished into the ether. I’ll try to re-enter what was lost manually ASAP, if I can remember. Sorry. The situation wasn’t helped by the fact that [...]

Glastonbury 2005 – The Gory Details

My Weekend With Keira, Gwyneth and Kate OK, before I go any further, an apology: at the festival we had the opportunity to kill Vernon Kay and we failed to act. I am truly sorry. With that confession out of the way, on to my time at Glastonbury (this will probably be quite an unnecessarily [...]

Glastonbury 2005

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

A Festivus For The Rest Of Us

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

Glastonbury here I come

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

Very Important Mud

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 [...]

Hard hats, hard shoulders

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: [...]

Tiger in my tank

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 [...]

European Champions

What a match! What a hangover. Fantastic. Just hope Uefa and the FA see sense and let Liverpool defend the title.

Radio Ga-Ga

This week I’m participating in the RAJAR National Radio Listening Survey, which produces the official audience figures for UK radio stations. Now by my reckoning, I have the power to add nearly 19,000* extra listners to a radio station’s figures. Of course if there are any DJs or radio station executives reading this, I want [...]
