Pi pie. Yum.

Another launch, another toot on the trumpet: the New Statesman has launched its General Election website, which will aggregate all its election coverage over the coming crucial weeks.

This is brilliant – Ceefax.tv is a live search engine to Ceefax, which also makes pages clickable. Great for the cricket score.

Matt Haughey’s backyard is just beautiful. Perhaps could do with more shrubbery, but the colours, oh, the colours. I dream of having a garden. Thankfully, now we’re into BST again, the local park is going to see a lot more use.

A small amount of hackery later and my del.icio.us links (see right) are now working. They’re not stored in my blog db – it’s just a window on the posts from the most recent day where there were any posts. A little look into what’s going through my digital mind, if you like. If you’re interested in the code, let me know; it’s nothing revolutionary, but hey, it works. Next up: photo-stuff.

A thought: Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code is the Kevin Bacon of Amazon. People who bought product x it seems, always bought The Da Vinci Code.

Am frustrated. Blacklist is timing out, refusing to let me de-spam; the spam-mound grows higher. Daily, I look at WordPress, contemplating that switch.

This is just too beautiful: Microsoft are providing a primer of leetspeak for concerned parents. “Rules of grammar are rarely obeyed“. Thanks for pointing that out. LOL!
