Umm – what is with these guys? Are they anti-abortion, or anti-TV-violence, or anti-technology, or anti-drugs, or anti-pornography, anti-sex-ed, or what?
And the title: “Unborn babies poisoned by rocket launches” [sic]???
Still, this painting is pretty good.
Whatever Happened To The Ship & Castle?
This is a disaster! According to The Cambrian News, the Ship & Castle has been closed down as a result of failing to pay it’s license fees. Now where am I supposed to waste money on good real ale and pickled eggs?
Will report further once I’ve had a chance to investigate with my own eyes.

Words Not To Use When You Don’t Want To Scare People
I hate it when I have to re-write a document to prevent it from scaring people. I’ve needed to remove the words ‘hypnotise’, ‘malleable’, and ‘ordeal’ from a document before I’ve been allowed to publish it. Just because people don’t like thinking of things in terms of how much probing-within-your-head it involves…
My workmates and I are considering bunking off early for the long weekend. Here’s to Operation: Favourable Conspiracy!
Dead Badger Linux
Anyone with a pair of pliers can install Red Hat on a toaster or a motorcycle… it takes a real (sick) geek to install Linux on a dead badger.
Girl, 15, Charged With Child Porn Offences And Sexual Abuse Of Childen
Not the usual kind of story I link from my ‘blog, but this particular case is of interest because the girl in question is both the perpetrator and the victim, so to speak: she posted pictures of herself online, performing sexual acts.

A site well-worth reading.
Picnic Time
We’re off on a picnic! Bryn, Claire, Paul and I are making sandwiches and we’re off up Pen Dinas to scoff them and watch the sunset. Which is nice.
It feels like springtime.
Dissertation Poster Session Two
The second poster session for my dissertation is today. This will involve me standing in front of a board in the Llandinam concourse with some pretty pictures and explaining them to people.
This also brings home the realisation that my dissertation needs to be handed in in just a month’s time. Still got many, many thousand words to write. Gonna be a busy Easter.
Dan, A Vamp Babe, And A Tarantula
This picture just appeared on the new May Ball site.
Yes; it’s me, tied to a wooden board by a vampire babe, stripped of my tux, and being scampered around on by a tarantula.

PHP 5 RC1
Terribly geeky I know, but I find it awfully exciting: PHP 5 Release Candidate 1 was released today. PHP 5 can now be considered feature-complete, and mostly stable. If only the program I’m writing with it could be considered the same…

Well; I’m glad he cleared that up for us.
Snow! Again!
It’s snowing! Again!
Apparently it’s going to get as low as -7ºC on Sunday. And some fool has a BBQ-on-the-beach planned.
Will post more when I find the motivation.
