Plague
It's contagious! I have a dull ache in my head and a mild nausea.

I Want The Goat
Seen Andy's journal entry about goats and game-shows? I'd want the goat. No, really. Goats are cool.
I'm not getting enough work done. However, I did find an interesting web site called My Pole. Make sure you look at the "The History" section. Weird world.

Those Commie Martians
This story about the European Space Agency by the BBC reads:
...The Mars Exploration Rovers will touch down in January next year, just after the Europeans arrive with their Marx Express mission in December...
Marx Express? I suppose we should have guessed that the so-called 'red planet' was communist. -
Final Episode Of Futurama
Just watched the final (ever?) episode of Futurama, "The Devil's Hands Make Idol Work", with Claire, Paul, Kit and Bryn. Quite stunning. Very impressive. Very brave. Cool. Watch it.

What Meatloaf Song Are You?
I'm I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back. Excellent.
"When you fall, you fall hard. Maybe you get a bit obsessive. Maybe you get a bit homicidal, even. But you've got a rockin' melody and a beat you can dance to."

Excellent Article On Music Piracy And CD Sales
A must-read! An excellently-written and concise article in dot.life about the falling sales of CDs being blamed on file-swappers, playing devil's advocate. Go read it, people!

Science Graduates Earn More, Live Longer, Smoke Less
This report by the BBC, published yesterday, gives evidence that we science/engineering graduates live longer than our artsy opposite numbers. Made my day.

Helpless - Post Script
Yawny morning.
Got to sleep eventually. Basically, my friend's problems can't be solved by anybody but themselves. I'm going to offer to be there, be supportive, and to help them in any way they can, but in the end, what's troubling them can't be solved by anybody else. Will try to get a chance to speak … -
Royal Welsh Show
I'm writing this from the (badly-protected: just had to go to a page with a particularly funky JavaScript to break out of their front-end browser) BBC Wales bus at the Royal Welsh Show, where Alex and I are working on behalf of SmartData.
Suppose I'd better get back to work and let these kiddies have the … -
AbNib
I'm almost ready to launch AbNib (main site may be down during development, but try the temporary mirror), a site dedicated to the weblogs of Aberites: people who live in or love Aberystwyth.
There are some funky new and cool features to come. But this is a weblog-community in the making.
Rock on. -
De Funk?
I've been celebrating my new-found freedom [removed link] by letting myself post to De's forums. For those of you who aren't following this little campaign, I really hurt him about a year ago, and he decided to hate me but not tell me why, and asked me not to contact him. So I didn't, until …

Uninteresting Blogging
I really hate uninteresting blogs. The kind which consists of a single entry every week or two, and every time it states "Sorry I haven't made any updates recently. (insert excuse here) I've not been up to much recently anyway." Every week! Sad but true.
That rant aside, here's a fantastic example of exactly what I'm … -
Hunting For Bambi
This news article, entitled Hunting For Bambi, amused me for a few minutes.

Kit, Mark II
I've discovered what Kit's evil plan is: he's transforming Paul into another Kit!
Paul, like Kit (another jobless bum) now comes around to my house and tidies up in exchange for not being allowed to starve. Okay; it's not quite that bad (or organised), but Kit's quite obviously just beginning a long and complex plan, here.
I'll … -
Friday Morning
Wow. Seen the Quake IV Leaked Screenshots [mirror]. Due for release on the last day of the year, based on these stills alone I'd say that it's going to be something quite spectacular... and will involve a terrier...
Off to work...
