Light Bites for a Lingering Hangover

- The ministers that claimed greedily within the rules are the ones that should leave themselves due to lack of public confidence. The ones that claimed greedily against the rules should not leave, not be forced to resign - they should be fired.

- Weird to see the largely unreported news about Adam Curry's divorce. Unlike the usual bullshit celeb stories (and they're not celebs in the UK in any sense), it grabs my attention because i've listened to the guy through probably 1000+ podcasts.

- Severe lack of new podcast episodes this week in general, No Agenda being one. Also noticed that Steve Gillmor is doing another of his fuck the audience/new way of doing things (pick one) experiments and not releasing his shows after the live recording. Annoying as they had become really good recently using the TWIT setup. I'd watch live but my shitty BT ADSL can't cope with pretty much anything. I will leave the hell out of BT at the end of this contract!

- I need to put some stuff on the walls. I made this mistake at my last place and waited over a year before really doing any decorating. As soon as I did it felt a lot more like home. Wall space here is much more plentiful though, and half of what I had up before i'm sick of. Stuff that's meant to hang on walls is quite expensive unfortunately.

- My crosstrainer is faulty after 2-3 weeks. Not good. This means i'm now involved in yet another customer services scenario. Based on recent trends I could either predict it will definitely go badly or I could assume that I simply must be due a win and it will go well. Will see.

- New water coolers at work look like space ships. Old ones were fine.

- Docks are quiet, no ships coming in. Where there once was a riot, there's a whole lot of nothing.
