guh. have just found out that my college course, which I expected to restart next week, actually restarts tomorrow. not happy.

BBC Signs Quiz – I got nine out of ten…not bad, I’d say. Link brazenly stolen from brainsluice.

have now completed the latest set of updates to the blog design – these are a revision of the favourite blogs list, the addition of a lovely pic of my beautiful visage, an addition to the music links list, and the inclusion of an AIM link. AIMers please note that I am usually logged on over AOL, and AOL5 does not have the same level of functionality as AIM. However, the AOL6 CD is on its way, so I’ll approach your levels of technical wizardry shortly.

lunar eclipse update: weather forecasters have reverted to earlier forecast of excess cloud, so little chance of seeing the eclipse here. guh.

have been a bit remiss in the TPL updates: score for week before last: 30 points
score for last week: an amazing 69 points. takes my total to 557, ahead of Kev for the first time this season, and roaring up the league table.

web usage stats are an interesting thing. according to my stats, I’ve been linked to by this site and this site. muh? special prize to anyone who can find the link.

Nico at my2p points out that the font Verdana doesn’t work under Linux. Since about 5% of my readers are Linux users, the bylines now appear in Arial. I’m sure you will all be pleased about that.

Criminally underappreciated bands of the last ten years – features two of my favourites: Bark Psychosis (way ahead of their time) and Laika (not poppy enough to ever be mainstream). But I’m sure everyone would have their own favourites…don’t you?. Mine would have to include Bowery Electric and my affection for Boards of Canada grows by the day.

Laughter clubs multiply in Singapore after expert’s visit -the new karaoke? you heard it here first.

Witches act to deflect lunar eclipse doom – *phew* – we’re all safe from gloom and doom now. unless you live in the US, of course.
