2004 Bulwer-Lytton contest results are up. I think I prefer this year’s results to last years.
Not scared any more
20 July 2004
Follow the paper trail, it’ll all fall into place. One thing after the other. Just remember to get off before you end up going round in circles.
Still, glad I discovered I had that Plastikman. Had forgotten that entirely.

The Hansard Society releases its publication “Political Weblogs: Craze or Convention?“. Worth reading, possibly a bit depressing. Link takes you to news page, PDF available from there.
organstealing!
20 July 2004
Despite the massive public interest, no-one was found to have lost their organs. The whole story’s mind boggling, but that final line is the icing on the cake.
Mummy, I’m scared.
19 July 2004
Interconnected‘s gone funny on me. I thought this was a glitch, but it looks like a trend. What really scared me was that whilst watching the text judder on mouseover, whilst googling for the Wargames references, I was listening to Plastikman’s Closer.
Ritchie Hawtin + Matt Webb = fear. There’s a higher intelligence behind both, but sometimes I’m darned if I can figure it out.
new ipod

Some details and another shot of the new iPod from the Newsweek article it was launched in.
Oh to live in the States
12 July 2004
Not because I want to live there, but just because the standard of Apple support is light years ahead. Got a problem? Go to the nearest Apple Store, or phone them up, and have it sent elsewhere in the country you live in. Got a problem in the UK? Pack it up and send it to Holland, never to be seen again.
Matt has been having dreadful trouble with his new Powerbook. This is not good. Apple UK/Europe have been fairly crap about the whole thing.
Which is why I always feel a little nervous as my PB takes a little longer to wake and sleep, and why the fact it won’t pair with my phone even since I upgraded to 10.2.8 fills me with deep fear of the next upgrade I make.
I bought this computer to make life more pleasant. It shouldn’t leave me on tenterhooks every time it threatens going wrong. The main fear is sending it away. It is my main computer. I have no other Apple. Unlike many people, I can’t carry on as before without it.
Damnit, this sucks.

A module to let you write Perl programs in Latin. I want to learn Perl more than ever now. This is the shizzle.

Individual archive pages now work, so you can leave comments. I might still rejig the comments formatting later, but hey, it’s a start. Next goal: sorting the monthly archives and master archive index…
