Amusing oriental game involving cubes. It takes a few minutes to figure out what’s going on, but is pretty easy to work out even if you can’t read Japanese.
Bothersome ghosts
Bob’s guide to dealing with ghosts. How handy.
Big billed catty puss
Today – two cats to Nearbyville for a prod, poke, two jabs each and a pill each – the feline equivalent of a 10,000 mile service. Outcome? £77, please and thank you. Ouch.
Psychopath
Hoogstraten criminally responsible for Raja’s death, says the High Court – according to the Raja family’s lawyer, the evidence suggests that Hoogstraten is a psychopath.
Maybe now there will be some sort of justice for the Raja family?
Bored already?
Hels has now officially finished work. She has a little bit of holiday to use up, then her company’s Christmas holiday and then her official maternity leave begins – but, in effect, her maternity leave begins now.
Of course, once the baby arrives, there’ll be no shortage of things to do. But, in the meantime, she’s now engaged in some sort of phoney war preceding the onslaught of the nappy hordes. I give her three days before she is bored rigid.
UPDATE: three days? More like three hours!
Seems useful

Note to Microsoft – the correct spelling of Seamus is Seamus, not Shamus. Please update your spellcheckers.
That is all.

In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it.
Erwin Rommel. I expect you all to act on this advice today.
Akismet problems
Hmm. I’m having problems with the Akismet anti-spam plugin for WordPress. It won’t let me review comments and I know from just before it went belly-up that it was screening out Brian’s comments as spam (clearly not the case). I’ve emailed the plugin author to alert him, but no news yet.
Anyone else had the problem of not being able to review messages? I’m using Akismet 1.12 on WP1.5. When I go to the review/moderate page, I get this error message where the list of messages should be displayed:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_post() in /var/www/vhosts/grayblog.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/akismet.php on line 253
Ideas?
