Hopped Up On Lotus

I returned to work following my holiday (had a great time - holiday snaps to follow shortly…) with a certain amount of trepidation.

I had taken the precaution of locking anything I placed any sort of value on in my pedestal and ensuring no-one else had a key. Items I locked away included the TARDIS, the Largest Dalek in the Universe, me and K-9 at MK, and of course, Ewey the Sheep.

I returned to find I was supporting Scotland, not sure in what, possibly just in general!

Time flies like an arrow,
But fruit flies like a banana…

Airsoft on the 25th, Urban at Upwood. Should be scorching hot, please make an effort to go. Don’t forget to sort out things like goggles in plenty of time.

Save The Internet

So there I was, watching an episode of Ask A Ninja and it was going on about Net Neutrality. I looked into this a bit more when I saw the same thing on Sluggy Freelance.

Here it is in basic… in America, several phone and cable companies are moving to have the rights to limit access to the Internet. This means that if you get your internet though these companies, you will only be able to view sites that have paid them money. Obviously, this is causing a lot of concern for the average American internet user and in some cases has already had an effect. One of the cable companies has restricted access to a private ‘Classifieds’ website (they say it’s a security bug that hasn’t been fixed after four months) and yet they run their own ‘Classifieds’ site that works fine.

I’ll leave the Save The Internet stuff to others, even though I view a lot of US sites I doubt it’ll effect us much. Here’s my point…

The STI people sent in a petition to the American Senate with over a million signatures on it. Will it do any good? On the one hand, you have millions of single people who are the public, on the other you have single companies with millions of dollars invested in private. Who will the Senate listen to?

I watch with interest…

Good news everybody, we are all starting hotornot accounts, and then putting them in a leauge! There will be a link on here to find out who is the hottest and who is the nottest. Details to follow.

Gallery operations have been resumed. For those that didn’t know I asked everyone to stop uploaded while our hosts went barmey at me for going over my space limit. We now have a bit more space, and twice as much bandwidth (as if we need it). Hooraybeans!
