Some Nice Websites To Pass The Time
Quasimondo - A couple of nice Flash bits, particularly the page turning interface (see the "Best of" section for more, including the "Candle").
I saw this story about Bush=Homer Simpson. I felt strangely angry about the destruction of 'my' Queen's beautiful gardens by those twatty Americans - so Bush has actually made me have a feeling that coincides with the views of the Mirror, which is very depressing indeed. (On an unrelated note...) I have a Bush=Hitler theory that I can't quite articulate, but the more I read about him, the less abstract it seems... That ugly undercurrent of ignorant "us and them" hatred - (suppressed by political correctness yet ever present ) brought to the surface by the smug snidey asides that constitute the only sign of any intelligence whatsoever. But I feel unqualified to speak about politics, and I've probably got the CIA after me now.
See In Passing for some lovely little quotes from random people. Eg: "There are so many people working on solving small problems. I figure if we all worked together to solve a big one, the little ones would just fall into place."
"And I still think it's ridiculous."
"I'm not talking about defeating entropy, I'm talking about making it our bitch."

Closer to home (if you live in the UK...) here's some 'dry british wit': The dullest blog in the world - just don't spoil it by reading the comments. More 'wiblogs' (as if the word 'blog' wasn't already bleuugh enough) on the same site - I didn't stay long enough to work out how ironic the religious fixation was, but I liked Neil's one, spotting such things as
"Tonight on ITV1: 11:00pm - ITV News at Ten " and showing how a website can be used as a source of support in times of failure (of a driving test).
Finally: My scheme that I work on at work "ELLC Choice Homes", a social housing allocations system which uses a website targetted at the least affluent members of the community, was accessed on an Amiga last month! I couldnae believe it! It's a weird cross section - most users running the AOL Browser (eugh) and Netscape 4 - the polar opposite demographic to Cinestatic, I should think (where everyone seems to have new computers running XP etc). But I digress.

Template Change
Look - I changed the template a bit. Mainly to make it easier to make changes and to make the pad look like a pad.
