    It’s been a while….. Norwegian link for the day: learn Norwegian the easy way.

  • You really can’t tell that

    You really can’t tell that I made that header graphic in a hurry, can you? No? Good.

    Too tired and busy to write anything here today. Sorry.
    Although you may be fascinated by this missive from the weird and wacky world of spam:

    Production Mini-plants in mobile containers. Co-investment Program

    “…Science Network will supply to countries and developing regions the technology and the necessary support for the production in series of Mini-plants in mobile containers (40-foot). The Mini-plant system is designed in such a way that all the production machinery is fixed on the platform of the container, with all wiring, piping, and installation parts; that is to say, they are fully equipped… and the mini-plant is ready for production.”

    More than 700 portable production systems: Bakeries, Steel Nails, Welding Electrodes, Tire Retreading, Reinforcement Bar Bending for Construction Framework, Sheeting for Roofing, Ceilings and Façades, Plated Drums, Aluminum Buckets, Injected Polypropylene Housewares, Pressed Melamine Items (Glasses, Cups, Plates, Mugs, etc.), Mufflers, Construction Electrically Welded Mesh, Plastic Bags and Packaging, Mobile units of medical assistance, Sanitary Material, Hypodermic Syringes, Hemostatic Clamps, etc.

    Science Network has started a process of Co-investment for the installation of small Assembly plants to manufacture in series the Mini-plants of portable production on the site, region or country where they may be required. One of the most relevant features is the fact that these plants will be connected to the World Trade System (WTS) with access to more than 50 million raw materials, products and services and automatic transactions for world trade.

    Due to financial reasons, involving cost and social impact, the right thing to do is to set up assembly plants in the same countries and regions, using local resources (labor, some equipment, etc.)

    Science Network participates with 50% in the investment of each Assembly plant.

    *Still* wasting time at Globz, this time on Zebug2000, which is excellent, and TypoZ, which is just plain weird.

  • Ok. I blame Penn, as

    Ok. I blame Penn, as she sent it to me, but all useful work has ceased whilst I play this (click on Keyball), whilst laughing in a Stuart Hall fashion. It’s really got an It’s A Knockout quality to it. Evidently doesn’t work on Macs.

  • Just seen three very large

    Just seen three very large birds of prey overhead, possibly buzzards. I’m sure that I saw one last night near Funtington as I was working.

  • If I had a ticket

    If I had a ticket for Glastonbury, I’d try to see:

    • Koop
    • St Germain
    • Lamb
    • Orbital
    • Plaid
    • Zero 7
    • Thievery Corporation
    • The Bays
    • Alfie
    • Fila Brazilia

    But no Cinematic Orchestra?

  • hmmm. Only got in from

    hmmm. Only got in from work at 11.15pm. Not good.
    And why has Blogger suddenly developed a “republish” button? And stopped working on the pro2 server – again?

    There is only one true Grayblog. Beware imitations.

  • Went to see La Placard

    Went to see La Placard at the New Park tonight – review when I have the energy (good – not fantastic – but good. and funny). Followed by beer with Dave and Kristian.
