I either saw someone who was Robyn‘s doppelganger today, or it was actually Robyn and she blanked me. I’m sure that if she came to Chichester, she would give me a shout. Either way, I definitely saw someone who was ickle and beige, and there aren’t too many of them.

Today should be PFE’s first payday. Unfortunately, it can’t be because the Inland Revenue still have not sent me the necessary paperwork. Grr.

Galaxies without stars.They are found
They are found in the great intergalactic voids – vast spaces between groupings of normal galaxies. Few objects inhabit these regions, where lonely stars, torn from their parent galaxies, live isolated lives before they fade and die alone.Sounds just like my teenage years.

Meanwhile, Rodney claims not to be panicking, but I’m not entirely convinced. I suspect he is just covering it up well.
I’m excited too, but not about that. -
Bloggers go to Parliament. The
Bloggers go to Parliament. The closing comments in this article about established weblogs closing down amused me. That’s been going on since the dawn of weblogs – even now, one or two prominent sites are on extended hiatus (e.g. Meg – I spoke with her the other day, and she is fine and well and very happy, in case you were wondering) and several popular sites of all descriptions have disappeared in recent months. But, at the same time, even more interesting and top quality new sites have sprung up or come to the fore. I would say that the creation of good new sites far exceeeds the rate at which good established ones are disappearing.
Anyway, it sounds like the meeting was interesting, although it may have been a bit of a geekfest. I’ll see if others have more to say (particularly those that attended) and maybe post a link or two here.
UPDATE: linkage…- Tom gets annoyed with people who dismiss the event out of hand
- Amusingly, Darren tells us that Andrew Orlowski sucks wet farts out of dead pigeons, before going on to give a good handful of links to stuff about the meeting
- Gert says "I suspect that in ten years, if all MPs have blogs, so will five or ten million of the UK population. Blogs will no longer be a phenomenon, but just another way to communicate." In my view, they are becoming less phenomenal by the day, and that’s no bad thing.
