Genius!
Yes, a whopping 4.5% of the population has registered its support for the London 2012 Olympic Bid. That`s almost as many people who voted for Labour in the election.
I`m confused as to why Old Trafford has managed to become a London olympic venue. Have the electoral boundaries been changed to include Greater Manchester?
I personally don`t want to see loads of money wasted on this rubbish (why not spend it on the NHS, schools, homeless…?) £2.375 billion could go a long way. Still it`s nice to see a big middle finger flipped to the rest of the UK as London once again becomes the only place of importance. I contacted the London2012 people and asked them where [...]
Something nice on the way
Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed a picture over the past few weeks. Rest assured I haven`t been ignoring them!
I`m working on an automated submission page where you`ll be able to upload your own pictures, without bothering with e-mail. Once a picture has been submitted, I`ll check for new ones and hit a button and they`ll be live on the site, speeding things up a lot.
Why? Why?
Initially the project was something I came up with in the early hours after too much beer, and I didn`t expect so many of you lovely people to send in pictures. At the minute I have to save the pictures off from e-mail, [...]
Harry Kewell and Coldplay.. what a combination
Dear Harry Kewell,
You were a good player at Leeds, and since you`ve moved to Liverpool, you`ve been absolutely rubbish. Worry about the fact that you couldn`t lift a ball if it was nailed to your foot instead of taking better players than you`ll ever be to court. And get a haircut.
Yours,
Major Susan Quiggle III, MBE.
p.s. why not transfer to Altrincham FC – perhaps the talented Frank Sidebottom could give you some lessons
Dear Mr.Coldplay,
Well, what can I say about your new album… bland would probably be the best way to describe it. I liked Parachutes; it had a nice depressing undercurrent. A Rush Of Blood was well produced, with a couple [...]
Woo! All nice and shiny
The nuke-age of the server and installation of Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog took a bit longer than expected. This was mainly due to some kind of locale configuration problem; the installation scripts started going bananas when they encountered unicode nasties, causing the installer to cry with “corrupt tarball” messages even though they were verified by the installer. Meh to that, otherwise the site would have been live again at around 11pm last night!
Anyway, finally got the bugger going quite nicely, and it seems a bit more responsive than SUSE 9.2, so it`s all good.
Next up is a bit of a site redesign (which I`ve yet to start) to try to make the place look [...]
