Month: April 2001

Is the word “CeWebrity” as cheesy as I think it is? Because I’m thinking it might be time for badges and stuff. Alternative slogans have included: “I bitch about you on the net” and “Even YOU can be someone on the internet…”

A stunningly clever piece of web-tech this, that if developed by some central organisation could completely revolutionise the way in which fonts are handled on the net. The place to go for more information is: ReeveJones.com [via Matt].

Ok, Mr Brilliant. I know you’re out there. Stop being such a fuck-wit and drop me an e-mail. I would love to have lunch. Thank you very much.

I’ve been sent information on a few film sites so far – please continue to send me more. In the meantime, here’s my spiralling list of wonder:

• BFI.org.uk
• Inside.com
• BBFC
• Screen Daily
• film.guardian.co.uk
• Sight and Sound
• bbc.co.uk/film
• popcorn.co.uk
• Total Film
• 6 degrees
• HotDog Magazine
• Empire Online
• Screen Journal
• Virgin.net cinema

Important sites outside the UK include:

• Hollywood Reporter
• Variety.com

Newsflash: Whatever it was that Ev and Matt were talking about looks to be some kind of Blogger-based directory system – perhaps like the slow, but useful weblogs.com – for more information, read the post on Blogger.

Appeal for help: I need a list of the very best UK and London based and/or orientated film websites as soon as is humanly possible. E-mail me!

I have a dream. And in that dream, under a scorched sky, people with nut allergies are playing Revel Roulette. [Other things to do with Revels: Chess Set: Thanks to Simon.]

I’d just like to say hello to Ralph. Yes, Ralph, it’s quite good. If you keep working on it, you might have something worth reading one day!

I applied for some freelance work a few days back on the basis that it would be a convenient way to earn some money while looking for work and / or writing some freelance journalism. The job I applied for was supposed to be three or four weeks, three or four days a week. I thought it would be a terribly convenient activity – not requiring too much intellectual or time commitment, and getting me over a difficult working period. I would still, in other words, have time for interviews, writing and preparing myself for whatever the job-to-come would be. However, now they want me to learn JSP, work five days a week for four weeks and organise myself as a ‘sole trader’ through a consultation with an accountant. Suddenly the whole prospect seems considerably less appealing. I don’t know what to do.

Evidence for the debauchery of the latest blog meet courtesy of Nick Jordan’s Gallery. Filling in for Meg‘s crushing inadequacy as a photographer (being outside London is not a suitable excuse), he snapped all of us looking at our absolute best. My mood of the day is best represented by these few gorgeous picture: .Be warned, I have slept little and am fractious, You are all my bitches and Thank God, he’s finally put that camera down … oh JEEZ!
