Month: March 2003

Inevitably, just when life is all sunny days and perfectness, something comes along to take the wind out of your sails. sigh.
UPDATE: but a long phone call from one of the Good People helps make things right.

I’ve updated the radio grayblog page with the new instructions for listening, and the revised playlist. Enjoy.

It’ll be interesting to see what the implications of this new law in South Africa are on ornamental horticulture. South African flora is an important source of plant material in western commericial horticulture, and whilst I disapprove of patenting or PBR on plant material sourced directly from the wild, that plant material still has an important rôle to play in the development and breeding of commercial plant varieties. I’ll be watching this one with interest.

Strange search for today: stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop.
Hmm.

I never thought I would say it, but on this occasion I am 100% in agreement with Robin Cook.

Beer last night with Arron, Al and the lovely Lucy, with sightings of Ruth, Hamish and Terry.
Today has that "long day" feeling to it already, partly engendered by an email I got last night which gives me a slight cause for concern about potential minor hiccups with work. Nothing that is insurmountable, but something that potentially will only be resolved in a satisfactory way by me doing work which other people should do. And, to be honest, I have enough on my plate already.

I’ve got quite used to the fact that Blogger doesn’t log out users during long periods of inactivity (when, although server activity is nil, I might be typing a very long post). That seems to have changed now that Blogger is under Google’s ownership – I seem to get logged out after just a few minutes. Perhaps it tightens security, but it would be nice if there was a message on the Blogger Pro homepage to say what the new parameters are.

With conflict looming, this article reminds me that it would be a good opportunity to update my list of worldwide media sources.

All quiet round here. Busy, as usual.

I was going to make some sort of humorous comment about New York’s Fish of Doom, but reading today’s news about the war and the virus, I’m beginning to wonder if it wasn’t right.
However, it is a glorious sunny day and life is (otherwise) very good, so I’ll not worry about it. Much.
