Barbelith: Timothy McVeigh’s letter to Fox: “You may or may not have ethics or beliefs that match up with this man’s. Mine do not match his particularly closely. Having said that, if I believed what he did, and could express myself as clearly as he can, and honestly believed that the FBI was an affront to the freedom of America’s citizenry – well wouldn’t his actions then be justified? If he believes himself to be at war, then isn’t it appropriate to fight that war? So that’s the question – how do we tell whether someone’s ethics are acceptable? And the actions that they take? Where do we draw the line? If I see a people oppressed, is it my job to fight for them, tooth and claw, whether they be in Bosnia, or unknowingly oppressed in the US?”

Wow, that really is cool! A “Mac OS X application that takes a small metadata file, and wraps a lovely GUI around a shell script”. Jesus Christ. I need me one of them. I mean, after all, it could be extremely useful if I wrote “a command-line script and [needed] to let someone with no Unix experience run the program”. Could someone tell me please, why oh why are all my friends better at all this technical crap than me?

Thanks to Andi for helping an otherwise slow afternoon at work. And to her companion with the excessively acidic stomach – lay off the coke. If you’re not careful, you’ll burn right through…

I’m deliberating, after a depressingly awful meeting with Big last night, whether or not I should send him this e-card, while making it clear – of course – that it is a joke. Perhaps I could combine it with a ‘I’m heartily sick of this’ message. Maybe that would make it clearer. And to whoever it is that keeps finding this site by typing in my name into Google can sod right off as well. It feels really creepy.

It’s SO not fair to write a post about me, include the word Prozac and do it in a language that I just don’t understand.

Songs lyrics for a Friday morning:
[Nothing Is Good Enough]

That nothing is good enough
for people like you
who have to have someone take the fall
and something to sabotage–
determined to lose it all

Send me e-mail. I want some e-mail. No fluff. Good stuff. Suggestions, ideas, creative stuff. I need to take a brain-dump, but I haven’t been getting enough head-fibre recently. So come on kids, help me purge.

Turning the tables on DSR: a selection of search terms used to find their site, according to their stats page (5.10pm GMT): long dong silver, LITTLE NATURIST, Pokemon Porn, haemorrhoids, the shit files it’s just a of shit, sexy iranian, pictures of horses (check this one out) and Almost nude.

I’m slightly surprised that anyone would be comfortable with being featured in an article called ‘From cause celebre to scum of the earth in just three months’, but I suppose you have to have a sense of humour about these things.

Possibly the coolest thing on the net – the complete Anatomy of the Human Body by Henry Gray. Complete with disgustingly anatomical cut-away drawings of the human body.
