So you’re trying to find out about something, and you look on the net and you can’t find it. The next thing you do is go straight onto Usenet, because there will be someone there with specific expertise in whatever it is that you’re interested in. But you will have to wait a while until someone responds. Perhaps you should try FAQs.org first?
Nine things that are true and one that is not: [after NotSoSoft]

More political commentary from timewasting.net. Does this represent the complete lack of faith that the majority of the country have of contemporary politics? I personally blame campaigns like that of the Conservative party for lowering our faith in our ‘elected representatives’.
“The woeful security of the Conservative Party website has been exposed by an anonymous computer cracker. The UK expert says that the conservatives.com website has been failing to take even the most basic security precautions. He warns that in the run-up to the election anyone who wanted to embarrass the Conservative Party could do so by defacing the site.” [BBC News]
I don’t understand. If it really is that easy, why on earth hasn’t anyone done it. A party that bases itself so patently around stuck-out chests, self-importance and a complete inability to laugh at itself should surely be a prime candidate. I’d do it if I could. Can you do it? Go on then!
There’s a slight work-related tension in the air today as I wait to hear whether or not I will be needed for a couple of weeks work at Capital Radio. Plus I’m supposed to finish a review for the BBC, drop some notes around web design agencies and follow up on a couple of other work-related leads. But again, for the second week in a row, the Guardian actually has a reasonably sized New Media section, which includes (shock of all shocks) some jobs I actually might want to apply for.
“Tom himself is a 400 lb, East Bolivian, overblown arsehole with delusions of grandeur, and a very strange fascination with hairless Mexican wrestlers.
Of course Tom doesn’t read the path of thornes, so we’re not worried.” [Oh yeah?]
Leia Scofield’s 30 DVDs in 30 Days project reaches day 28 with Antitrust and mentions the plasticbag.org Antitrust subVERT project.
So the question of the moment really is: “Am I GOING OUT WITH PAUL DIGITALTRICKERY or NOT?“. I think I might submit my picture. I’d quite like to know whether I am or not. You never know. I might be.
Search engine request of the day: So today someone typed in “My friend is being a bitch” into Google and the first thing they came across was my site. In fact this old page.
Help encourage people to not come to plasticbag.org by including one of these buttons on your site today. And make sure they don’t link back to this site, because that will rather defeat the whole purpose of the exercise. Note: This is not a double-bluff. [Ha ha]
