I got a postcard the other day about a concert up in London next week. Spizzenergi are playing at the Luminaire, 311 Kilburn High Road. The angle for this one (Spizz always likes to have an angle) is the whole climate change thing. The postcard states that Spizzenergi are "greener than Sting, Phil Collins, U2, […]

How does he do it? Sometimes time just drags and after several hours you look at the clock to see that only minutes have passed, but with Tim Marlow he does a programme about an exhibition and at the end you think it can’t be over yet, thats only 15 minutes and find that 45 […]
Disillusion with Labour?
February 20th, 2007 · 16 Comments · Politics
From that book what I am reading: There was also a degree of disillusion with the political direction of the Labour Party. To the political left and the radical underground, the progress made by Roy Jenkins enacting liberal laws [*] was outweighed by a subsequent drift to the right in 1969 and early 1970: continuing […]

Road pricing petitions
February 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics, Technology
Now there are two petitions: you can either petish against it or petish in favour of it. Either way it won't make a lot of difference but go ahead if it makes you feel better. Personally, although I drive a car (well.. own one anyway. Jayne won't let me drive very often) I can't get […]

Earlier today I noticed that posts from this site were not appearing on the aggregated feed on the Bloggers4Labour site. I really had no idea how long this had been happening – or not happening depending on your point of view. Andrew R didn’t know for sure either, but said he was getting a 403 […]

Test
February 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Technology
This is a test. Never mind what it is a test of – its just a test. I have been tweaking in areas beyond my competence so I will be very surprised it it works! Update: It only bloody worked! I am beside myself with geeky glee.

Nostalgia
February 18th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life
Nostalgia is a weapon wielded by old people to deny young people their dreams I came across that in the introduction of a book I just started reading, and I am sure it is nowhere near as profound as it sounds, but I like it. It relates to how the 70’s generation were repeatedly told […]
Unfortunate quote

I have mentioned before how easy it is to get carried away in a planning committee, and make hyperbolic statements, but this is a classic. Broadwater Farm will be an everlasting memorial to my committee Chair of Haringay planning committee, 1967 Apparently its nowhere near as bad as it was 20 years ago, but still…
Open source frustration
February 18th, 2007 · Comments Off on Open source frustration · Technology
So far I have found that OpenOffice (the open source alternative to Microsoft Office) is very easy to use for most basic purposes. It is fine for opening existing documents or spreadsheets and editing them, or printing them. It is also fine for creating new straightforward documents and spreadsheets. The trouble starts with anything a […]
