  • Wha’s Like Us? Damn Few, And We’re Aw Pished!

    The Scottish Executive is planning new reforms in Scotland’s licensing laws including bans on happy hours and other “irresponsible” promotions. This kind of thing is good, as this country’s relationship with Ra Drink has always been somewhat love-and-hate, but when I read Tory MSP Brian Monteith‘s comments that we shouldn’t be treated like “children” and…

    I haven’t been blogging much lately, so I haven’t tapped out some of the stuff I’ve been up to. One of those things was to sit two (cheap) Linux Professional Institute exams in the middle of last month. Net Resources through in Edinburgh were getting themselves organised to be the first LPI certification exam provider…

  • Movable Feast, Movable Licensing

    Movable Type 3.0 has been released under a new licence scheme, with some commentary and explanation from Mena about the move to charging for their software. A lot of people are up in arms about it, but personally I think it’s A Good Thing™, and wish them all the best. Brad Choate sums up the…

  • Comment Spam … Euch

    I’m getting bombarded with comment spam on this blog, even after installing MT-Blacklist. Something I’ve noticed after a spot of log analysis is that the kosher comments come from the HTML form generated by Movable Type at the end of each post, and are submitted by POST method (i.e. in the HTTP headers); the spammers…

  • New West Wing DVDs? Good? Not So Much …

    My folks got me the new Season 3 West Wing DVD boxset for my birthday yesterday. I was expecting greatness, and instead was delivered mediocrity. I’ve complained thusly: Hi, I would like to complain about the UK (Region 2) DVD release of “The West Wing – Complete Season 3” box set. The booklet contained inside…

  • I Be Old

    30 years ago pretty much to the minute, I appeared in this world, surrounded by an unconscious mother and hospital porters betting on that day’s Grand National. And I still be here, being old and grumpy. Although the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Where’s me pipe? Bastards.

  • Calling Occupants of Entertained-ful Craft

    US budget airline JetBlue have satellite TV built into the aircraft. Each passenger can watch live TV as broadcast on the DIRECTV platform (similar to Sky here in the UK), which is pretty damn cool. Something similar could surely be done with Sky on UK domestic flights, which would make up for the utter lack…
