Most Inappropriate … Time Limited Offer … Ever </comicbookguy>
I got spammed with this overnight — now I’m used to receiving random spams that pass through my spam filters (“SpamAssassin,” he cried from the highest rooftop in the land), but what I got was a spam trying to sell me commemorative dollar coins. No big deal, they get papped out all the time. This…

“You’re Nicked!” “Erm, I Don’t Think So”
Tip o’ the hat to me mate Mark from Cisco for this one: turns out there’s a loophole in the (presumably English [and — yes Nic — Welsh]) law which means that a driver caught on a speed camera, who is then sent a penalty notice by post, can elect to return the form saying…

s/Blogger/Movable Type/g
I’ve just migrated my blog from Blogger to Movable Type. With luck, I’ve caught most of the appropriate templates and made everything feel funky 🙂 There will undoubtedly be hiccups — the primary one is that of loss of previous blog comments, but there weren’t many to start with, so no great loss there. If…
