Slashdot: At least one government agency, the country’s financial regulator, has quietly started issuing legal notices to ISPs requesting them to block certain types of websites deemed illegal. There’s no oversight or appeals process, and already a false positive event has resulted in some 1,200 innocent websites being blocked from Australians viewing them.

Susan de Simone advises that the quote in the True Tolerance post from February 6th this year was not said by her father, Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster – it has done the rounds as being by him … but isn’t. Any fellow blogger who may have quoted that – please adjust your [...]

Shutting up shop now until tomorrow evening – posts awaiting by Amfortas, Wiggia, Chuckles and yours truly but they’ll be late Saturday/Sunday. I’ll check comments a couple of times but largely, that’s it for the nonce.

14:42: To Chrysalis and Suzie It was a genuine error. I’d just followed my team winning a vital game and wasn’t concentrating – saw a comment about Boston and one about being a maths teacher and went to approve them but there were also comments in that Chinese script and other types. I went to [...]

1. First post today will be late afternoon as moderation is not conducive to discussion. 2. One of the readers wrote that NO was crashing his computer when youtubes were used – specifically, multi-youtubes. He suggested that when we run them, run one and put the others “below the fold”.

The sun’s shining out there, I had a lovely day yesterday with the ladies, my strained back is better, my football team just pulled off a miraculous win, I should be full of joy and certainly the coffee beside me is nice. However, I owe it to certain people to explain why I cut a [...]

Why must they tinker and interfere? There was something about a 2.1 version of a programme being better and it does hold true. The new product needs test running, they iron out the bugs, 2.1 or 3.1 is usually the pinnacle, thereafter, everything is tinkering for no good reason. Google’s gmail became very good – [...]
